The TacScape product line has evolved over its 20-year history of producing image-based synthetic environments for mission rehearsal. Products within TacScape include end user systems for mission rehearsal and battlefield awareness, as well as Geographic Information Systems tools and services. Enabling technologies include visualization systems and force understanding services.
TacScape helps the user ensure success through improved mission planning/rehearsal/coordination and full three-dimensional situation understanding, both before and during the mission, plus other features that provide thorough after-action analysis.
Our focus on mission rehearsal and support continues to demand rapid data processing, simplified and repeatable workflows and a straightforward user interface. To meet quick response requirements, the tools balance the power of automation with the necessity to get the job done right the first time.
With over 20+ years of experience and over 40 operational campaigns supported, the team has a proven track record, and TacScape can extend beyond its legacy military customers to bring this proven mission support success to the commercial field.
TacScape product line:
Defense
TacScene
TacScene is a fully scalable, 3-D visualization library designed to integrate with existing or new software applications across multiple hardware platforms. The visual engine supports large area database for commercial and mission rehearsal and training applications. Multiple database formats are supported with Rosetta “plug and play” interfaces. TacScene comes with a software development kit, sample code and other tools that assist developers of the end user application.
TOPSCENE Tactical Terrain Visualization System (TTVS)
TOPSCENE TTVS supports mission planning and rehearsal for all components of the Department of Defense. TOPSCENE uses overhead image data from satellites and other sources by converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional “fly through” and “walk through” battle field visualization scenarios. TOPSCENE was developed specifically to interface with mission planning systems such as Joint Mission System and Portable Flight Planning Software by converting 2-D mission plans to a 3-D mission rehearsal environment. Using real-world images, Warfighters can repeatedly rehearse a mission, taking advantage of significant visual clues and aim points. Deployed on traditional laptop computers, TOPSCENE is portable and available to the Warfighter when and where it is needed. Terrain databases are processed by one of the U. S. government-sponsored TOPSCENE Database Generation Facilities, which can integrate virtual environments with target data in as little as two hours, making it possible to train on “actual terrain” in near-real time.
TacWarrior
TacWarrior provides full mission situation awareness and understanding capabilities on the go. It enables mission plans to be downloaded onto mobile tactical platforms, where context-sensitive draws are made on historic and live intelligence and presented in a 3-D display. On-board cognitive services process and fuse data to provide situation understanding to the operator.
TacForge
TacForge provides rapid data processing, simplified and repeatable workflows and a straightforward user interface for geospatial data processing. It is a turnkey solution for the creation of high-resolution large area imagery mosaics. A deployable version is available to support in-theater updates and dissemination. TacForge Production Services supports 2-D and 3-D database generation and can create onsite custom solutions.
Commercial
Geosketch
GeoSketch is a plugin for Google SketchUp® that leverages “smart” image data to rapidly develop realistic 3D objects, for use in visual simulation, urban planning and mission rehearsal. GeoSketch fuses multiple images from different points-of-view and extracts 3D features from imagery taken with handhelds, satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles.
