Jacob Hsieh (far right) with 3rd Intel Bn. Jacob Hsieh, GXP senior systems engineer, and U.S. Marine reservist, has used his SOCET GXP experience far beyond the confines of training rooms and customer support calls for BAE Systems. In June 2009, Hsieh was mobilized and joined the Economic and Political Intelligence Cell out of San Diego. Hsieh’s [...]]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-engineer-uses-socet-gxp-overseas-to-support-u-s-marine-corps-efforts-in-afghanistan/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/cambridge-is-now-open-for-business http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/cambridge-is-now-open-for-business#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 06:59:05 +0000 kara.kellogg http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=3155
Stephen Horrocks and Keith Morey from the Storm Shadow project team visited BAE Systems’ new training center in Cambridge U.K. during the first week of operation in January 2011 to observe SOCET GXP eXtreme Analysis software training and meet with Royal Air Force operators attending the course.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/cambridge-is-now-open-for-business/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/new-gxp%c2%ae-distributor-japan-aerospace-corporation http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/new-gxp%c2%ae-distributor-japan-aerospace-corporation#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:00:20 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=2392
When the GXP team sought to find a new Japanese distributor last year, Japan Aerospace Corporation (JAC) was a natural choice. JAC was already successfully representing other areas of BAE Systems and was looking to expand its activities on behalf of the company. JAC’s extensive network of contacts acquired through its aviation business will be advantageous as the company pursues growth in its sales of GXP products.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/new-gxp%c2%ae-distributor-japan-aerospace-corporation/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/annual-gxp-golf-tournament-dedicated-to-art-gunn http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/annual-gxp-golf-tournament-dedicated-to-art-gunn#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:00:43 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=2396
In mid-February, the GXP team was saddened to learn of the passing of an esteemed colleague, Arthur C. Gunn. Many in the geospatial-intelligence community are proud to have called Art a good friend. To honor Art’s memory, the GXP team has decided to rename the annual GXP golf tournament, The BAE Systems Arthur C. Gunn Memorial Golf Tournament.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/annual-gxp-golf-tournament-dedicated-to-art-gunn/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/shaping-tomorrow%e2%80%99s-leaders-a-legacy-of-geographic-training-at-west-point http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/shaping-tomorrow%e2%80%99s-leaders-a-legacy-of-geographic-training-at-west-point#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:00:08 +0000 gxpwebadmin http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=2085
Cadets use SOCET SET®, SOCET for ArcGIS®, and ArcMap® products in the lab to learn photogrammetric workflows and geospatial processing as well as create maps, finished products and reports that are delivered to commanders in the field. They gain firsthand experience on a variety of tasks, such as importing frame or satellite imagery into SOCET SET from numerous government and commercial sources, triangulation, terrain-model generation, orthorectification, and feature collection to meet precise standards. These software applications are used in the field to check for accuracy, create line-of-sight analyses to determine what a sniper can see, create terrain models to help navigate a local geography, and determine the direction a door swings — in or out — for greater situational awareness. Hands-on exercises, taught in the classroom, are invaluable. ]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/shaping-tomorrow%e2%80%99s-leaders-a-legacy-of-geographic-training-at-west-point/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-award-for-excellence-in-photogrammetry http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-award-for-excellence-in-photogrammetry#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:00:30 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1626
>Stewart Walker, GXP Director of Product Initiatives, traveled to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York to present the BAE Systems Award for Excellence in Photogrammetry to graduating cadet Megan McIntosh. The award for best performance in photogrammetry by a cadet in geospatial information science was presented during a ceremony for all 22 cadets graduating from the GIS program at West Point. ]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-award-for-excellence-in-photogrammetry/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/terrasar-x-satellite-data-available-to-socet-set-and-socet-gxp-users-delivers-highly-accurate-results http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/terrasar-x-satellite-data-available-to-socet-set-and-socet-gxp-users-delivers-highly-accurate-results#comments Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:00:04 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1185
