Army selects InterMAPhics as its Mapping Engine for JBC-P

March 2011
The US Army has selected InterMAPhics as its Mapping Engine for JBC-P. After a successful evaluation, the US Army's Software Engineering Directorate (SED), Huntsville, Alabama has selected Gallium's InterMAPhics product as the mapping engine for the Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) program. InterMAPhics allows application developers and software engineers to create high performance, geospatial based user interfaces for mission critical applications. The applications developed with InterMAPhics are intended to be provided across a myriad of platforms, operating systems and configurations, leveraging InterMAPhics platform independent software strategy.

InterMAPhics

InterMAPhics is a performance optimized, high performance SDK for real time 2D and 3D situation displays used for the development of custom user interface and real-time mapping applications.

Situational Display
Raster, vector, imagery and terrain maps are supported and can be visualized using advanced overlays and effects, allowing you to produce a highly responsive and accurate representation of an operational picture.

High Performance
Built with our optimized run-time engine to support fast update rates, with a high number of objects and ensuring a reliable dynamic display well suited for mission critical systems.

Reduced Implementation Time and Effort
InterMAPhics provides a purpose built, object oriented API that is available in multiple languages and compatible with multiple platforms. GUI's, appearance and behavior are customizable, allowing developers to focus on unique system requirements.

Industry TrustedInterMAPhics has been deployed on over 125 mission-critical applications around the world. Our solutions for geospatial display management have been proven successful in major aerospace, defense and security applications as well as critical systems for commercial aviation and air traffic control.
