3D Geoinformation for Defence and Intelligence

Challenge

To procure, visualise and disseminate high quality and up-to-date 3D geoinformation about urban areas and critical infrastructure worldwide.

Solutions created by GAF

GAF provides worldwide 3D geoinformation as well as a high-performance 3D GIS software, based on its expert knowledge of the requirements of governmental and military customers:

• GAF Elevation Suite: GAF produces very high and high-resolution imagery, digital elevation models and other 3D derivatives such as building (block) models with spatial resolutions of between 0.3 m and 10 m – based on a multitude of current Earth Observation (EO) satellite systems, using archive or recent satellite data.
• GAFmap^®: GAF’s Desktop GIS software supports realistic (multi-user) 3D and VR visualisation – including for large data quantities and offline scenarios. With the Pack&Go and GAFmap^® Express extension, simulations can easily be shared with team members and partners.
