Aerospace & Defence

Geospatial intelligence, mission awareness and defence operations. 

Compusult's Web Enterprise Suite (WES) provides an integrated geospatial intelligence, situational awareness, mission planning, operational command, and decision-support platform that can support aerospace and defence organizations across air, land, maritime, space, and joint operational environments.

By integrating satellite imagery, intelligence information, geospatial datasets, surveillance systems, operational assets, AI-enabled analytics, and mobile field reporting, WES helps defence organizations establish a Common Operating Picture (COP) to improve situational awareness, operational coordination, mission readiness, and decision-making.

WES is particularly applicable to military organizations, air forces, naval forces, defence intelligence agencies, aerospace operators, national security organizations, and defence contractors.

Key WES capabilities for aerospace and defence:

1. Command, Control and Situational Awareness (C2)

  • WES OPS provides a centralized, map-based Common Operating Picture that can consolidate operational information from multiple military systems and intelligence sources.
  • Applications: Joint operations centers, mission monitoring, asset tracking, operational coordination, and multi-domain situational awareness.

2. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and Imagery Management

  • WES Geospatial, WES Catalog, and Meta Manager support the discovery, management, cataloguing, and dissemination of satellite imagery, terrain data, geospatial services, and intelligence products.
  • Applications: GEOINT exploitation support, imagery repositories, terrain analysis, intelligence sharing, and geospatial data delivery.

3. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)

  • WES can integrate information from ISR platforms, including satellite systems, UAVs, radar, surveillance sensors, and reconnaissance reports, through appropriate data interfaces.
  • Applications: Surveillance monitoring, reconnaissance information management, sensor data fusion, imagery analysis, and intelligence dissemination.

4. Aerospace Operations and Mission Planning

  • WES provides geospatial information and operational data integration capabilities that can support air mission planning, flight operations awareness, airfield information management, and aerospace infrastructure monitoring.
  • Applications: Mission planning support, airfield situational awareness, terrain visualization, operational area mapping, and aviation asset monitoring.

5. AI-Enabled Intelligence and Predictive Analytics

  • WES-AI provides a framework for integrating machine learning, predictive modelling, AI search, alerting, and scenario analysis into defence workflows.
  • Applications: Anomaly detection, operational trend analysis, predictive maintenance modelling, mission risk assessment, and intelligence discovery.

6. Mobile Operations and Field Intelligence

  • WES Mobile enables deployed personnel to access mission information and capture georeferenced observations, photographs, video, and field reports.
  • Applications: Field reconnaissance reporting, operational assessments, infrastructure inspections, asset observations, and communication with command centers.

7. Defence Logistics, Asset Management and Sustainment

  • WES can provide geospatial visibility and configurable workflows for monitoring military assets, facilities, infrastructure, and operational support activities.
  • Applications: Asset location awareness, logistics coordination, infrastructure mapping, supply-route visualization, and sustainment planning.

8. Joint Operations and Interoperability

  • WES supports standards-based geospatial information exchange and configurable collaboration environments that can help multiple defence organizations share authorized operational information.
  • Applications: Joint force coordination, coalition information sharing, interagency collaboration, and integrated operational planning.

Some of the key features include:

Data Integration and Management

Ability to ingest and combine large, disparate datasets from various sources into a data cube. 

Modeling and Simulation

Tools for building descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive models, often using programming languages like Python and R. 

Predictive Analytics & Machine Learning

Utilizes AI and machine learning to identify patterns in historical data and forecast future outcomes

Scenario Planning

Allows users to run "what-if" analyses and test different scenarios to evaluate potential impacts before making decisions. 

Data Visualization and Reporting

Provides interactive visualizations using 2D and 3D mapping to show insights to the scenarios in an easily understandable format. 

Sea Level Rise Modelling

WES has been demonstrated in Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) pilot programs (such as the Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilots and the FMSDI Pilots) to support flood response and climate resilience efforts. It uses 2D and 3D visualization and integrates real-time data to help identify flood-prone areas, assess impacts on infrastructure, and support resource allocation. It leverages OGC standards, such as OGC API-Features and OGC API-Coverages, to access and display relevant data and model outputs. 

Inland Flood Modelling and Response

For inland flood mapping, WES supports the integration of data from various sources to model water flow. Inland flood mapping utilizes shallow water equations; a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations used in fluid dynamics to model the flow of water from a lake or other inland source, enabling accurate flood prediction and management efforts.

Fire Prediction and Management

WES is used in disaster resilience scenarios for wildfires, integrating various data sources such as Earth observations, weather information, and infrastructure status to understand the hazard extent and its potential impacts. It helps in creating a common operational picture for incident managers and first responders. This model uses USGS Fire Potential Index, to simulate disaster resilience scenarios for wildfires, integrating data to understand hazard extent and impacts on infrastructure. 

Arctic Ice Concentrations

WES actively integrates and processes daily data on "Polar/Arctic Sea Ice and Iceberg Concentrations" from external sources (like NOAA). This provides current and historical information crucial for maritime operations, environmental monitoring, and understanding climate change impacts in polar regions. 

Other Industries

The AI modules/window components may be included within custom workflows and has been organized in the following broad categories:

Modelling and Predictive System (MPS)

The evidence supporting climate change and the related effects due to human activities is now overwhelming and compelling. 

 

AI Alerting

An AI application make decisions on behalf of and in support of users and the associated stakeholders.
