What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
GeoFIT Americas has purchased SimActive’s Correlator3D software, SimActive announced on 22 March. The software will be used for image processing from UAS in mapping projects.
The Correlator3D software is a photogrammetry solution that generates geospatial data from satellite and aerial imagery collected by assets including UAS. The software performs aerial triangulation and generates digital terrain models, digital surface models, point clouds, orthomosaics and vectorised 3D features to support the rapid production of large datasets.
Sylvain Laroche, operations director, GeoFIT Americas, said: ‘With our acquisition of a high-end drone, we needed comparable software to complete our solution. Following analysis of various solutions on the market, the SimActive product rapidly emerged as our choice.'
Philippe Simard, president, SimActive, said: ‘Groupe FIT has been at the forefront of the European photogrammetry market for decades. SimActive remains the only viable solution for this category, justifying the quick selection of Correlator3D by GeoFIT Americas.’
