Common Geopositioning Services (CGS) interface

Representing more than 25 years of development, BAE Systems’ Common Geopositioning Services (CGS) program is the Department of Defense standard for precision targeting, geopositioning services, and photogrammetric applications.
CGS combines with SOCET GXP® — the company’s commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS), electronic light-table (ELT) application — to provide an all-source precision geolocation capability with reliable and accurate 3-D coordinates and statistically valid error estimates. CGS merges COTS and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) software applications for UNIX® and Windows® platforms for precision geopositioning services in defense and intelligence applications. Using SOCET GXP as the integrated viewer, CGS can deploy as a stand-alone targeting workstation, setting the standard for target-location error determination.
CGS delivers standard GOTS applications that integrate with various services-based architecture systems such as Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS)-Navy, DCGS-Army, Global Command and Control System – Imagery and Intelligence Information (GCCS-I3) and DCGS-Air Force 10.2. Its applications also work with COTS and GOTS ELTs and viewers and with targeting; command and control; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems.
CGS engine
The CGS engine provides core geopositioning services, validation support, mensuration, and output product generation. All CGS services include rigorous error propagation and estimation and are validated by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency for tactical, national, Digital Point Positioning Data Base (DPPDB) data source, and commercial imagery.
