Primordial Ground Guidance now integrates with ATAK.
Here’s a brief description of the features supported:
What can it do?
- Fast route. Ground Guidance generates the fastest route between two points.
- Movement projection. Movement projection enables one to predict the likely location of an entity (e.g. a downed pilot or sniper fleeing an area) given a last known location, travel duration, and transportation mode.
- Urban routing. In addition to routing in mountainous and woodland terrain, Ground Guidance supports urban routing.
- Alternate routes. Ground Guidance supports planning any number of alternate routes between two points. This facilitates planning primary, alternate, contingent, and emergency (PACE) routes before or during a mission.
-
Intervisibility. Ground Guidance analyzes man-made and natural features to calculate accurate view sheds. Ground Guidance is unique in that it incorporates an optical vegetation penetration model to perform its analysis.
-
Randomized routes. Ground Guidance supports generating randomized routes to reduce predictability during patrols and commutes.
-
Multi-resolution routing. To achieve rapid rerouting on resource-constrained handheld platforms, Primordial developed a patent-pending multi-resolution routing algorithm that starts with a coarse map and refines routes over time.
-
Differential routing. In addition to fast and concealed routes, Ground Guidance supports maximizing relative advantage along a route. Route check. Similar to Microsoft Word’s spell check, Ground Guidance’s route check highlights potential dangers along a route (e.g. steep terrain, marshy areas, and exposed positions).
