New collaboration with the CTBTO

Jun 27, 2017

The collaboration between Geocart and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) continues with a new contract. The aim of the current contract is to design and develop a customized, flexible and modular software interface to facilitate the processing of airborne multispectral data. These data are acquired to survey for surface features that may indicate the detonation of an underground nuclear device.

Timely delivery of data products derived from airborne multispectral acquisition is fundamental to operations, hence the need for a well-defined workflow that ensures that all necessary steps have been completed and that data quality can be assured. Geocart has been tasked with developing this system in the form a user friendly software interface. The software has been designed by Geocart engineers to meet two major requirements: to facilitate workflow management of airborne data and to monitor the progress and implementation of data processing.

Geocart participated in the first CTBTO airborne multispectral field test in 2011 and since then has contributed to various events including experts meetings as well as designing and integrating the first operational CTBTO multispectral system.
