French technology company Thales has launched a new geographical modelling system at Eurosatory in Paris.
GeoMaker is a modular system that produces high-accuracy 2D and 3D geographical data to remotely recreate an operating environment.
The system is being marketed to the defence sector to service the demand from military and security forces for up-to-date geographical and geospatial data.
By combining standard maps and images with satellite and tactical data, GeoMaker can produce and verify models of complex environments extremely quickly, according to Thales' C4I defence and security systems division manager, Didier Seyler.
"GeoMaker is an innovative solution boasting optimum architecture that is designed to adapt to [the] users' multitude of operational requirements and provide excellent cost-effective performance," Seyler said.
The F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation fighter specifically designed to launch internal missiles and internal-guided bombs at maximum supersonic speeds.
