TerraLens

TerraLens by Kongsberg Geospatial is a real-time geospatial software development kit (SDK) designed for critical applications. According to the vendor, this SDK offers easy project integration and quick implementation, making it suitable for small to large enterprises. With its versatile features and data visualization tools, TerraLens caters to industries such as defense systems, unmanned systems, air traffic control, maritime surveillance, and command and control systems.

Key Features

Real-Time Geospatial SDK: According to the vendor, this SDK is designed for easy project integration and quick implementation. It provides real-time 2D and 3D mapping capabilities along with data visualization tools.

Unlimited 2D and 3D Viewports: Users can create unlimited viewports for displaying geospatial data. The SDK supports a high-performance 3D terrain engine, allowing for the visualization of 3D terrain, vector tile data, and high-resolution raster data. Users can dynamically adjust the opacity and stacking order of each layer.

Supports Most Map Data Formats: TerraLens covers a wide range of map data formats including vector, raster, elevation, and web map data. According to the vendor, it supports over 20 spheroid and 30 map projections and complies with open standards. The SDK also provides support for MIL-STD-2525 B/C/D, APP-6A/B, and custom symbology.

Displays Real-Time Data Feeds: Users can display real-time data feeds from multiple sensors, enabling the processing, exploitation, and dissemination of sensor data. TerraLens supports real-time data feeds from various sensors and sources and can display geo-referenced full motion video overlays.

Compatible with Multiple Operating Systems: The SDK is available for Windows, Linux, and Android platforms. It is compatible with most GUI toolkits, including Qt, QML, Java, and .Net. Additionally, TerraLens supports ARM and other low-power architectures, delivering good performance on iOS and Android tablets and smartphones.

Enterprise Grade Ground Control Station: TerraLens offers a custom Ground Control Station (GCS) for enterprise UAS companies. The GCS is hardware agnostic, supporting multiple airframes and sensor technology. It provides many-to-one (m:N) functionality for controlling multiple aircraft simultaneously and offers airspace awareness and smart airspace deconfliction services.

Complete Airspace Visualization: The IRIS Terminal component of TerraLens provides complete airspace visualization, enabling safe and dependable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. It collects and fuses data from a wide range of sensors, allowing users to manage multiple unmanned systems through a multi-domain operating picture.

Modular ISR Data Analysis and Storage: TerraLens offers a near real-time system for processing and sharing ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) sensor data. According to the vendor, it allows users to review and compare real-time, near real-time, and historical sensor data, enabling analysis in a temporal context. The SDK supports full-motion video analysis and AI tools for actionable intelligence.

Map Styling and Packaging Toolkit: TerraLens provides an advanced map styling and packaging toolkit. It assembles map data and assets for displaying appropriately populated maps, allowing users to customize map presentation and styling. The toolkit also adds metadata and links images, documents, and videos to map entities.
