Sterling, VA & Redlands, CA - July 13, 2009 -
Overwatch Geospatial Systems, an operating unit of Textron
Systems, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced
the release of its RemoteView 3.0.6 software upgrade featuring
two new product extensions: RVConnect and V-TRAC. RVConnect
links RemoteView with ESRI's ArcMap while V-TRAC offers a
full motion video (FMV) exploitation tool. RemoteView now
provides geospatial intelligence (GeoINT) analysts with a
desktop FMV analysis capability and real-time interoperability
with ESRI's leading geographic information system application,
ArcGIS.
In working interactively with ESRI's ArcGIS, RemoteView 3.0.6
offers a new level of efficiency for GeoINT analysts. With
the coordination of RVConnect, redundant workflow processes
are eliminated by viewing shared real-time data in both applications.
The automated sharing of layers and symbology improves efficiency
by reducing the creation and display time, and it leverages
ESRI's geodatabase layers and feature classes for improved
output quality in RemoteView.
"Overwatch Geospatial Systems brings greater interoperability
to our ArcMap users, giving GeoINT analysts even more capability
and efficiency," said William Harp, Defense Marketing
Manager. "ESRI is committed to bringing the most robust
capabilities to its GIS user base through continued partner
application integration."
The evolving growth of FMV in the Department of Defense and
Intelligence communities has resulted in an increasing demand
for integrated desktop video toolsets and capabilities. The
V-TRAC Basic extension within RemoteView 3.0.6 provides the
ability to integrate and exploit FMV files and data streams
into RemoteView's desktop application, eliminating the need
to access expensive, standalone systems for motion imagery
exploitation. This new, integrated tool improves mission workflow
and allows easy access to mission videos for operations planning.
"We continue to work with GeoINT analysts to identify
and meet their evolving needs," said Overwatch Geospatial
Systems' Senior Vice President and General Manager Jim Dolan.
"By bringing products like RVConnect, V-TRAC and RemoteView
3.0.6 to the end user, and providing interoperability with
the world-class systems of ESRI, our clients achieve greater
efficiency resulting in quicker operational decision support."
