"The rise of military operations in urban terrain has emphasized the need for commanders, troops and intelligence analysts to have an unprecedented level of understanding of an area's surroundings," said Dr. Don Newsome, president and chief executive officer of Sarnoff Corporation. "MapIt!'s ability to rapidly build precise 3D models in days helps to increase the military's situational awareness of an urban environment before boots hit the ground."
In addition to its use by the military, MapIt!'s ability to combine the high-range resolution of LIDAR with the spatial resolution of aerial images makes it the perfect solution for users who need quick site models for activities including emergency response planning, wide area assessments and environmental and planning studies.
