SPOT is now available for commercial licensing!

SPOT handles camera selection (high vs. low resolution), aircraft type (fast vs. slow), aircraft stability (smooth vs. bumpy), flight path (effect of banking), terrain (trees, buildings, mountains), wind (constant and gusts), weather (fog, rain, snow), and target selection. This powerful new tool can continuously calculate the number of sensor pixels that are focused on a target by each sensor on each vehicle...a revolutionary process for evaluating sensors that will become the industry standard for the future.

SPOT combines a 3-D virtual world with realistic models of aircraft performance and camera sensitivity. It can simultaneously handle multiple surveillance aircraft, each hosting one or more cameras of user-specified capability. Using SPOT, designers can compare the performance of surveillance platforms in an environment and mission of their choosing from their desktop PC without the expense of flight trials in real aircraft. There is also the option of using aircraft models generated from other design tools, thus mission video results can be generated for aircraft that exist only on paper.
