ments. GMU is using this data to construct an architectural model that will enable prediction of BTRA-BC requirements over a wide range of conditions. GMU has developed a family of software models that can predict performance of tools such as BTRA-BC at specific levels of computational power and network capacity. These models are expected to be essential when requirements of operating the BTRA-BC services over tactical networks are explored. The end product will be a system that can support the warfighter most effectively while making supportable demands on networks and computers in the tactical environment. The J-GES program has also executed a series of replication/ synchronization experiments evaluating ESRI’s 9.2 synchronization capabilities against a series of use cases provided by the Maneuver Support Center at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The primary goal was to understand whether this COTS technology supported the concept of operations for data collection, generation and update of the Army’s Theater Geospatial Database in the field. A secondary goal was to understand the doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities issues associated with fielding this technology to the soldier. This is critical to understanding the overall impact to the warfighter as new technologies are evaluated. Initial findings in this series of experiments are that the technology works but will need customization to make it usable by the soldier in the field. The J-GES program’s ability to speed technology transition to the battlespace, assess the value of information, evaluate intelligence and geospatial information-sharing architectures, and develop geospatial policies and procedures will accelerate the fielding of select future force capabilities. J-GES also leverages and enables interdependent, network-centric warfare— ensuring that warfighters collect, exploit and share up-to-date geospatial information to gain competitive advantage in the operational environment. More information on these experiments and other ongoing experiments can be found at www.tec.army.mil/JGES/index. html. ✯ Jamal B. Beck is the public affairs specialist, and Dan Visone is the J-GES program manager, for the Engineer Research and Development Center-Topographic Engineering Center.

To support the J-GES program, TEC constructed a laboratory consisting of five reconfigurable enclaves that support netcentric geospatial experiments.

Sony 4K. Because pixels are power. How do you monitor 25 billion watts of power? For ITC, the fi rst fully independent electric transmission company in the U.S., the answer is an astonishing 160-foot video wall incorporating eight Sony 4K SXRD projectors. Installed by IGI, the projectors can each unleash PC graphics and data at 4096 H x 2160 V or show up to four full-res HD images. In fact, each 4K projector can do the work of four HD projectors — without unwanted color shifts or pixels lost to image blending. No wonder Sony 4K projectors are taking command in Simulation, Visualization, and Command/Control. Ask your systems integrator about how Sony 4K can transform your operations. click: sony.com/sxrdpixels to request a white paper, product demo, or to learn more about how ITC is using Sony SXRD technology. © 2008 Sony Electronics Inc.
