AGI Technology Basics

At the core of AGI software is a high-fidelity spatial mechanics engine that models time and space with unmatched accuracy. This engine has been enhanced through more than 20 years of development and built to meet the needs of the entire industry.

This engine delivers ultimate flexibility in coordinate system definition. It can convert from or to any coordinate system with equal accuracy, or, new coordinate systems can be designed as the need arises. This flexibility allows users to define objects in the most appropriate coordinate system while maintaining a relationship with other objects. For example, a payload sensor's position and pointing can be defined with respect to the moving object it is attached to. This moving object's position is then defined with respect to the Earth. The result is knowledge of the sensor’s position and pointing with respect to the Earth.

AGI software models the position, velocity and orientation of moving objects (satellites, missiles, aircraft, land vehicles, ships) in a variety of ways:

• Using simple algorithms and fundamental equations to emulate ideal motion
• Using high fidelity integrators and force models to generate realistic trajectories
• Ingesting user-supplied tabular data in a large variety of coordinates and reference systems
• Ingesting real-time data feeds

All data can be exported for use in other tools regardless of its source.

AGI software analyzes the complex relationships among multiple objects, regardless of the data's origin. By modeling line of sight visibility or by adding constraints like body masking, terrain or communication parameters, users can realistically determine when objects can see each other, e.g. "If that object was a radar site, what is the probability it will detect that aircraft object?" "If I fly this UAV object over this terrain ridge, will it be able to maintain a communications link to the ground station over there?" This core visibility analysis can be performed point to point, point to region, or infinitely relayed from a point to mulitple points or collection of points.

The software displays results in three basic ways:

• 2D and 3D visualizations
• Tabular reports
• Dynamic and static graphs

AGI's 3D visualization gives users a unique way to view their analytic results in three dimensions and time. It was built to very accurately show objects (including hundreds of realistic 3D models) that vastly range in size and physical separation. Nowhere else can you see and understand a UAV's sensor scanning deep in the mountains while also seeing a geostationary communications satellite orbiting over 40,000 kilometers away.

With hundreds of pre-built data providers and near limitless user-defined data combinations, AGI's report and graph manager provide tools to drill down and monitor specific details of your analysis and operations. In addition all data can be exported in standard CSV format.
