UrbanScape (US)
Program Manager: Dr. Brian Leininger
Approach:
The system concept calls for HMMWV-mounted and UAV-based video and ladar collectors that continually sense the urban environment as part of the normal patrolling process (as opposed to dedicated mapping missions). The data collected by these systems is brought to a centralized processing point at the company or battalion level and then processed to produce a 3D model of the urban environment. The CO/BN processing center will also have a visualization capability where the 3D urban model could be viewed, manipulated and used to support operational plans. The urban model produced by UrbanScape will be capable of being viewed by extant 3D viewing systems. In addition, model subsets can be distributed to tactical units below BN where the model can be viewed and used for tactical planning support.
