BAE Systems responds to increased demands for geospatial-intelligence software training
Due to growing interest in SOCET GXP® software, BAE Systems is expanding its training centers to cover all U.S. geographic regions. “We have been swamped with requests for more information about SOCET GXP” said Nikki Spirakis, senior systems engineer and newly appointed training manager for the Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP) business. “Everyone wants to know what it’s all about and what it can do.”
In addition to the Reston, Virginia, office, new training facilities in Tampa, St. Louis, Denver, and San Diego will make it convenient for software users across the country to participate in hands-on training using stereo workstations for both SOCET GXP and SOCET SET.
GXP also offers on-site customer training and in-field training for government field analysts overseas. Several U.S. military bases and commands have implemented training programs for BAE Systems’ software to prepare troops for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. BAE Systems provides geospatial-intelligence training for military intelligence schoolhouse programs including Fort Huachuca in Arizona, Goodfellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, Texas, and the Iraq Intelligence and Military Security School in Taji, Iraq.
SOCET GXP® v3.0 software gives infrastructure managers, first responders, and deployed forces wide-ranging new tools for operational planning, change detection, and situational analysis.
