The 3-D User-Defined Operating Picture (3D UDOP) was developed for the U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) to support Operation Unified Response following the earthquake in Haiti. Based on iSpatial®, the 3D UDOP is a unique application that allows users from all directorates, agencies, and aid groups to post information relevant to the operation in a central location. By collaborating and coordinating relief efforts, the 3D UDOP drastically improved the accuracy and timeliness of the entire response effort. The information is displayed on an interactive Google Earth™ globe viewable to all users, improving the shared situational awareness and collaboration among the community.
Some Features of the UDOP Include:
- Navigate through various layers and cross reference data from multiple sources
- Adding data manually, load spatial KML/KMZ layers, or dynamically generate data from a pre-existing source
- Selecting icons and input/update data layers as information changes
- Remotely sharing the UDOP screen with another user to collaborate
