Interactive tile-based visual analytics that fuse diverse media sources and commercially available satellite imagery can aid investigation of events in many domains such as natural disasters, infrastructure changes or yields of global commodities.

In this proof-of-concept application, Uncharted combined numerous data sources and predictive analytics to improve discovery and corroboration of cease-fire violations in the Yemeni Civil War. Social media analytics flag possible indicators of military conflict. Adaptive macro-to-micro visualization, per-region topic summarization and interactive navigation point to both developing crises corroborated by underlying reports of violence. Frequently refreshed satellite imagery reveals evidence such as building destruction to support eyewitness accounts.

The maritime domain is awash with data vital to national security. Geotemporal ship movement visualization unlocks patterns of life that aid characterization of unusual events. Combined with predictive analytics, our tile-based visual analytics approach enhances human cognition to find anomalies. Overlooked behavior such as an unlikely meeting of fishing boats outside commercial zones could signal covert trafficking operations. For bulk carriers and tankers, a deviation in course from heavily traveled routes can signal a change in destination, which may be a leading indicator of inventory constraints or price movement in global commodities.

A post 9/11, pre-HTML5 precursor to TellFinder, Uncharted’s nSpace is a landmark web-based visual analytics platform that enables analysts to interactively discover and synthesize insights from vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. nSpace includes semantic extraction and categorization, hypothesis exploration and evidence gathering, reasoning, collaboration and reporting. It is a collaborative environment to build and share knowledge. Powerful software agents combined with gesture-based data-driven sketching techniques are used to synthesize and share actionable knowledge with others.

MobileTerrain™ is a next generation C2ISR solution for mission-critical data collaboration in real time. Cross-platform (Windows/Android/Linux) and designed for desktop, vehicle, tablet and dismounted handheld operation, MobileTerrain provides one solution for all tactical information where low bandwidth and disconnected operability are needed across the battlespace.

“Geo-chat,” C2 messaging, planning tools, vehicle integration, camera feeds and more are built-in and easy to use with little training required. MobileTerrain’s extensible, componentized SDK enables rapid development and integration of new capabilities.

Real-time visualization provides commanders with the necessary tools for rapid assessment and comprehension of highly complex situations. Staying inside the opposition’s awareness / planning / decision cycle is essential when the ultimate goal is concurrent planning and execution. Interactive visual collaboration enables participants to work together remotely with shared understanding to plan next steps more rapidly and successfully. Uncharted develops and supports C2 collaboration solutions that are deployed and used around the world every day.

Uncharted provides interactive 2D and 3D visualization of complex airspace control measures, planned and actual mission routing, objectives and alert analytics that meets real-world performance and throughput requirements. Independent evaluations prove that Uncharted outperforms other legacy and incumbent solutions in terms of display, usability and cognitive performance.
