USE CASES

 

Situational Awareness

The NOVAC display enhances military commanders' situational awareness by providing real-time 3D visualization of the battlefield. It allows them to view terrain, troop movements, and assets from multiple angles, enabling faster, more informed decision-making. In high-impact situations such as coordinating air and ground operations, commanders can simulate scenarios, assess risks, and adjust strategies on the fly. The interactive display improves communication and coordination between teams, helping commanders respond quickly to changing conditions. This technology ensures they have the latest data, supporting more effective planning and execution of missions.

 
 

Mission Planning

A holographic display enhances mission planning and Course of Action (COA) development by visualizing critical elements like line of sight, radio propagation, RF signature reduction, route planning, change detection, and terrain analysis in a unified 3D environment. This comprehensive spatial visualization enables defense personnel to assess optimal communication paths, identify strategic positions, minimize RF exposure, plan efficient routes, and understand terrain complexities such as intervisibility. By integrating these key factors into a single, intuitive interface, holographic displays facilitate informed decision-making, ensuring precise and effective mission execution in diverse operational landscapes.

 
 

Mission Briefing

A holographic display enhances mission briefings by fostering real time situational awareness and facilitating multi-domain operations through collaborative visualization. By presenting a unified Common Operating Picture (COP), holographic displays promote a shared understanding among stakeholders, ensuring consistent and comprehensive information dissemination. This immersive visual context streamlines collaboration and enables faster, more informed decision-making processes, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and mission success.

 
 

Complex RF Planning

A holographic display streamlines radio planning for tactical missions by visualizing RF propagation across varying scenarios, including weather conditions, interference levels, and transmitter/receiver configurations. This 3D visualization enables precise optimization of equipment heights, power settings, and frequencies, ensuring robust communication while minimizing RF signature to safeguard warfighters.

 
 

Autonomous Systems Awareness

Drones are now ubiquitous on the battlefield. There is a constant battle for C5ISR data in drone warfare, both in acquiring it and denying it to the enemy. Understanding the tens, hundreds, and soon thousands of nodes, how they can communicate and reducing their signature and EW vulnerability, all while still maintaining dominance over the enemy, creates a high cognitive load, even when managing mostly autonomous systems.

 
 

Testimonials

 
“ We lost people in an operation, and during AAR we realized we missed key sightline info during mission planning. I think this technology could have made the difference in saving them.”
— Active Operator
“We’ve tried every 3D technology out there, and they all disappoint. This is the real deal, and I’ve been waiting my whole career for this to happen. ”
— Ed Chaulk, Naval Combat Systems Officer, MWC
“This would be especially useful when tracking targets in difficult environments like an urban setting. If I could deploy this tomorrow, I would. ”
— Active Operator
“I feel like I’m looking at the very first steps of a technology that will one day be as commonplace as LCD monitors or seatbelts.”
— U.S. Army representative involved in assessing advanced battlespace visualization and interaction technologies

SOFTWARE

 

HighGround

HighGround is a battlespace viewer that provides holographic views of live, recorded, or synthetic scenarios. It loads in and displays geo-referenced terrain, platforms (e.g. vehicles and people), and sensor information like RF. It integrates with multiple planning and operational applications like SIMDIS and TAK, with other integrations available. Using HighGround you maximize situational awareness, minimize cognitive load, and make faster, better decisions.

 
 

UNREAL

For Unreal projects, we offer a fork of Unreal Engine optimized to run Unreal applications on our NOVAC™ holographic display. By leveraging Unreal Engine's capabilities, your application can deliver the same high-fidelity, real-time 3D visuals with photorealistic rendering and ray tracing that you have come to expect from Unreal. Developers simply script the transform of a special holographic camera to frame the scene as desired. They require no specialized knowledge of holographic rendering. Your application can be easily ported to render holographically, expanding your application's potential into the spatial computing realm. This adaptation ensures the experience is scalable, interactive, and visually stunning, aligning with the future of holographic and immersive technologies.

 
 

UNITY

We provide Unity support though a plugin which adds a special holographic camera for composing your holographic perspective. Developers simply need to script this camera’s transform in order to frame the scene as desired. They require no specialized knowledge of holographic rendering. Our plugin allows you to benefit from  all the standard Unity functionality, including physics, lighting, and its vast ecosystem of plugins and assets.. This approach maintains the original application's usability, performance and visual fidelity, delivering an immersive experience tailored to the unique abilities of holographic technology.

 
 

API

We also offer an API along with DirectX 12 example applications to empower developers to efficiently port their applications to our NOVAC™ holographic display. The API provides utilities to simplify the process of setting up your custom holographic pipeline while continuing to allow developers complete access to DirectX 12. The example application offers a practical starting point, demonstrating how to adapt visuals for holographic 3D environments. This streamlines development, allowing creators to focus on fine-tuning interactions and visuals for immersive holographic experiences, while minimizing the heavy lifting of building a holographic rendering pipeline from scratch.
