3DTV
3D Terrain Visualization

This image contains a screenshot of the 3D Terrain Visualization (3DTV) application in which there is a first-person view of rolling hills textured with military raster imagery, clickable icons of units in the field, a overhead scrolling map inset marking the user's position and orientation, and a text area indicating the user's latitude and longitude. Also pictured is the hardened and ruggedized military system running the 3DTV application.

Developed a 3D terrain visualization capability integrated by Lockheed Martin into the digital Army Battle Command System (ABCS) that provides accurate line of sight and real-time unit locations on an optimally adapting mesh terrain overlayed with military terrain imagery and unit symbology.

BCOP
Biosurveillance Common Operating Picture

Screenshot of the Biosurveillance Common Operational Picture (BCOP) web application that consists of a 3D view of the U.S. Capitol in the center and surrounded by numerous dashboard components providing various modeling data and information.

A web-based information dashboard that provides analysts from the National Biosurveillance Integration Center the ability to track and monitor disease outbreaks across the world. This tool provides a common integrated view of the information for both situational awareness and decision-making, and is has been deployed for use in a 24/7 Department of Homeland Security command center.

A cross platform mobile application that can be used by veterinarians for easily capturing of syndromic symptoms of animals in the field. This application allows for form-based submission in both a live and store-and-forward fashion for use in even very rural locations. The results can be queried and displayed in both a geospatial and temporal fashion within an analyst workstation. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.

CGDS
Coast Guard Display System

Screenshot of the Coast Guard Dashboard System that consists of a center map of the Puget Sound, Washington, area overlayed with vessel icons. The map is surrounded by numerous dashboard components providing various modeling data and information.

A web-based information dashboard that provides a user-defined common operating picture across multiple echelons and within different functional areas. This tool was used as part of an on-the-water exercise by the Coast Guard’s Sector Seattle Command Center in August of 2009. These dashboards provided integration of live data feeds describing the current operational environment, real-time video and sensors for providing monitoring and surveillance capabilities, and custom simulation and visual analytic products. The common integration of these diverse tools supported the full decision-making process.

DEx
Database of Dramatic Extracts

Screenshot of the Dramatic Extracts (DEx) web-based tool that makes manuscript texts searchable.

A web-based tool that aims to make TEI-encoded manuscripts (hand-encoded seventeenth manuscripts into machine-readable formatted files) publicly browsable and searchable by textual editors, literary scholars, and cultural historians around the world. DEx is an online resource that allows users to browse and filter extracts by play, playwright, and manuscript, view the extracts’ context in both the original manuscript and the original work from which it was transcribed, and discover other manuscripts from the same repository.
