2Geospatial Intelligence CentresGeospatial Intelligence CentresThis brochure presents entrylevel solutions, which allow youto start building capacities, andwhich are designed to grow withyour operational requirementsover time. This approachgives you the greatest level offlexibility, allowing you to makeinvestments as required. Equally,these solutions are designed toenable rapid implementation,making staged deploymenthighly cost-effective.Industry-leading geospatialexperts you can rely on.A modular solutionthat grows withyour needsDefence and security decisions rely on up-to-dateintelligence that has taken relevant multisourcedatasets into account. This requires innovativetools, which allow for the collation, processing,analysis and refining of available information togive decision makers the ability to quickly see anoverview of a situation or detail.Airbus is the expert in intelligenceintegration, with decades ofexperience and references fromkey ministries across Europeand around the globe. Ourteam of intelligence expertsconstantly develops and refinescustomer-centric systems toensure customer challenges areanswered with specific solutions.This is particularly relevant intimes where new threats, suchas the integration of big data,into the intelligence process gainrelevance.Ultimately, a mature andbespoke geospatial intelligencecentre can provide you with fullcapability and infrastructureto securely and effectivelycoordinate large-scale andcomplex defence missions witha large number of operators.With over 30 years of experience and the world’slargest combined optical and radar satelliteconstellation, Airbus is the industry’s leadinggeospatial expert. Solutions are built around theoperational customer requirements – not justlooking at one source but also integrating a varietyof datasets to provide timely, accurate intelligence.Airbus now offers geospatialintelligence centres: secureplatforms that bring multipleintelligence sources together,giving you the visibility you needto make informed decisions.The geospatial intelligencecentre brings together imageryintelligence (IMINT) from satellite,aerial and drone images; opensource intelligence (OSINT),which includes images,videos, sound and text; aswell as geospatial intelligence(GEOINT). In addition, if yourorganisation wishes to integratecommunication, signal or humanintelligence reports, they can beeasily imported and fused withother intelligence information bythe GEOINT cell.State-of-the-artprocessing anddata powerCapturing and processingdata is what we do best.Our intelligence and defencespecialists constantly developand advance our solutions,ensuring that our customers getthe most accurate, timely anduseful intelligence in the sector.Solutions thatgrow with yourspecific operationalrequirementsOur approach is modular andbespoke. We have off-the-shelfstarter solutions, providing yourteam with cost-effective tools.If your requirements changeor grow over time, it’s not aproblem – you can easily addnew operational capabilities toperfectly match your evolvingrequirements.Airbus: a long-termpartner you canalways rely onOur solutions are built on mutualtrust and strong relationshipswith our customers. Throughoutand after implementation,if desired, Airbus providesprofessional training, as well asassistance and support – all toensure customers are gettingmost out of the implementedtechnology.GuaranteedusefulnessOur solutions come with a 1-yearwarranty, as well as trainingand support as a standard. Thesystem is highly flexible, allowingyou to import almost any datasetformat, providing you with themost useful, integrated solutionon the market.IMINT Starter KitGEOINT Starter KitCost-effective, off-the-shelfimage visualisation andexploitation software.The IMINT Starter Kit’scounterpart – a cost-effectivegeospatial software suite tovisualise and combine dataon a virtual 3D globe.Basic GEOINTCentreA geospatial intelligencestarter centre, combiningimage analysis and geospatialsoftware with a securedatacentre hardware.Primary GEOINTCentreBuilding on the Basic GEOINTCentre, this more advancedand larger-scale versionincludes disconnected webaccess, integrating OSINTdata.3

6Geospatial Intelligence CentresGeospatial Intelligence CentresGEOINT Starter KitGeospatial software suiteCapabilityThe intelligence starter solution is immediately availableoff-the-shelf. In contrast to IMINT, the GEOINT StarterKit delivers the highly advanced I4D Explorer software(Intelligence 4 Decision) at its core. This tool allows youto visualise and fuse all available user georeferenceddata in space and time – whatever their format, on a 3Dvirtual globe. It can be used to collect and perform basicexploitation of geospatial datasets or to issue geospatialanalysis reports.Did you know?
