Homeland Security

Google Earth Industries : Homeland Security

Risk assessment is not an option, it's a must. Yet fewer
challenges are greater than sorting through the mountains of disparate
government and commercial sources for the right information to complete the
assessment task. Google Earth solutions cut through the clutter of geospatial
databases, allowing analysts and operatives to get the job done effectively and
in record time.

Google Earth lets you distribute access to more people,
providing fast and fluid, interactive earth views streamed over secure networks
or the Internet. By fusing imagery, terrain, and GIS data, Google Earth lets the
user focus on their task at hand, not their software system. Superior ease of
use allows virtually anyone to view, grab, pan, and zoom through earth imagery
and GIS data in minutes. Plus a rich suite of tools lets users visually inspect
and analyze geographic features.

As the only company to aggregate a national database of
contiguous US imagery, geographic features, roads, and business listings, Google
Earth provides not only enterprise software but also complete solutions with
integrated data.

Google Earth enables Homeland Security teams to:

  • Collaborate

Sharing perspectives is fast and natural, encouraging
teamwork in all respects.

  • Focus

Superior ease of use means that attention is paid to the
task at hand, not the software system.

  • Comprehend

By placing information into context, Google Earth converts
data into understanding.

Homeland Security applications include:

  • Critical infrastructure vulnerability assessment and
    protection
  • First responder site familiarization and planning
  • Pattern visualization of surveillance data

 

Google Earth Industries : Intelligence

When lightning-quick decisions are required, high performance
systems alone are not enough—computing tools must be easy to use and provide
full context. Google Earth's compelling display of complex geospatial data
offers powerful yet visual analytic capability in a format that is fast, fluid,
and intuitive. No other product offers the rapid situational awareness of Google
Earth.

Google Earth breaks the chains of traditional "click and
wait" map access. Users can fly through massive datasets with the speed of a
video game, even when the data is resident on a large network accessed by
hundreds or thousands of other users. With Google Earth's integration tools, you
can leverage and extend your existing data and systems, providing more access to
more data by more people—turning information into understanding.

Google Earth technology offers critical capabilities to
security, defense and intelligence users through

  • Enhanced Situational Awareness

No tool provides better location context, and by
definition, situational awareness.

  • Easy Collaboration

With a single mouse click, images and perspectives can be
e-mailed, printed, and shared.

  • Increased Data Value

By leveraging and extending your existing systems to more
users, Google Earth helps you extract more value from your current data
assets.

Defense and intelligence applications include:

  • Mission planning, training, and simulation
  • Aerial imagery distribution to geographically dispersed
    operations
  • Visualization of tracked assets and personnel in the field
