A Case Study: 4D for the Joint Mission Planning System

August 31, 2009

Challenge:
The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) needed an easier and faster way to share critical mission planning information and data between users, as well as a chat capability for collaboration and briefing and an ability to preview the mission flight in 3D or 4D.

Solution:
Gnostech’s Collaborative Advanced Planning Environment includes tools such as secure chat and video; file sharing and transfer mechanisms; route visualization; and deconfliction tools. Further, Gnostech integrated STK into JMPS via CAPE, providing a 4D capability to step through the timing of the route and note areas of conflict for enhanced decision-making.

Results:
Gnostech’s 4D Route Visualization Toolset gives JMPS new capabilities such as:

• Any object placed on JMPS VPS is available to STK, including radar domes associated with threats.
• GUI additions such as route visualization and deconfliction and threat analysis.
• A framework that supports mission planning analysis.
• Because STK Engine was selected, Gnostech saved money over custom software development.
