Harris has provided web-based access, discovery, and retrieval for global geospatial libraries for thousands of users. Supporting the warfighter with timely, relevant, and accurate GEOINT involves integrating forward deployed assets into the multi-domain GEOINT supply chain. When it comes to extending the GEOINT Enterprise to the warfighter, Harris has demonstrated extensive capabilities through government programs such as GEOINT Online, Web-based Access and Retrieval Portal (WARP), Active Earthscape, Netcentric Geospatial Discovery Service (NGDS), and NGA Earth. We have pioneered JPIP streaming interfaces to improve timelines for GEOINT access from communications-challenged environments, and have leveraged global content delivery networks to improve worldwide availability of datasets.

As a leading producer of Global Geospatial Intelligence data sets for the U.S. government, Harris has invested heavily in innovative, automated image-processing technology. On-demand GEOINT production requires automated processes that consistently produce high quality, high accuracy datasets that meet both established standards and the mission timeline. Today Active Earthscape is widely used to produce high accuracy orthomosaic images on a global basis. In addition to Active Earthscape, Harris has a legacy of automated processes that include our Multi-image Exploitation Tool (MET) for autoregistration and mosaic generation, Topographic Data Processing (TDP) and TOPO 3 for creating digital elevation models, and LiteSite® for generating digital elevation models and 3D building models from LiDAR and IFSAR.

Harris has developed the tools to manage geospatial data at forward deployed sites. Analysts are responsible for data either pushed from or downloaded from the supply chain, data generated on site, and data collected by patrols in the field. To manage these local holdings, Harris has developed Active Catalog to ingest and tag these data for future discovery and retrieval. Active Catalog supports a wide variety of data, including overhead and aerial imagery, maps, intelligence reports, sensor data, derived products, or any data with identity and location. Active Catalog supports the intelligent synchronization of locally generated GEOINT and intelligence with other field units, command posts, and centralized libraries and repositories for the timely and effective sharing of information.
