RDAC® Software Suite Analyzes Thousands of Layers of Geospatial Data for Training, Experimentation and Response

New Interoperable Analytical Software Tool Dynamically Assesses Data to Provide a Wide Range of Analytics, from Simulating Disaster Events to Reporting Complex Market Analysis

CHESAPEAKE, VA – No one could have guessed the new paradigm for preparedness would be built by two data experts in a garage. IP Systems International LLC’s RDAC® (Rapid Dynamic Analytical Capability) Software Suite is a dynamic, high-speed analytical platform that automatically analyzes geospatial data to provide an array of capabilities for training, planning, assessment, operations and response.

For instance, RDAC® is capable of processing data from multiple data sets, including geospatial data points of information, to build probable scenarios around natural disasters before they occur, potentially saving lives. But the platform’s applications are extremely diverse; RDAC® can manipulate that same data and new data to provide an intuitive overview of market penetration for businesses looking to expand into new locations where the demographic outlook matches their target audiences.

Since IP Systems’ founders began developing the idea in 2002, the RDAC® Software Suite has been utilized by the United States Joint Forces Command (JFCOM), national retail chains and a diverse portfolio of reputable clients.

Perhaps most importantly, RDAC® is interoperable with any system following Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards – meaning it can interpret data from other databases and programs with very little manual translation. The software is stand alone and web-based, so it can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

The RDAC® Software Suite integrates live, virtual, and constructive capabilities into a single, synthetic and collaborative environment to provide disaster damage predictions for insurance companies, site suitability reports for businesses, crop growth patterns for agricultural analysts, campaign fund maps for political races, poverty movement patterns and predictions, and a vast mine of other applications.

“What RDAC® ultimately represents is the fastest, most dynamic and most intuitive platform for geospatial data analysis and scenario simulation available on the market,” said Douglas Pillsbury, VP and CTO of IP Systems. “The software analyzes data sets like agriculture and food, emergency services, nuclear and energy facilities, information technology centers, public health buildings, communications centers, monuments and icons, and more to provide a comprehensive geospatial data analysis.”

RDAC® is composed of three highly-technical components: RDACg™, RDAC Engine™ and RDAC Database™.

RDACg™ and RDAC Engine™: Forming a Dynamic, High-Speed Analytical Application

RDACg™, the program’s interface, is a dynamic, high-speed analytical application capable of performing rapid, real-time, geospatial data analysis. Inside RDACg™, the RDAC Engine™ functions as the “brain,” providing critical analytics in two- and three-dimensional environments via standalone or distributed and scalable geospatial architectures.

RDACg™ can be integrated into current Common Operating Picture (COP), Game Engines, or Modeling and Simulation systems. In addition to being highly interoperable, portable and lightweight, RDACg™ and the RDAC Engine™ offer fast and agile customization options to support real-time integration and analysis.

RDAC™ Database: Geospatial Dataset Creation and Organization

The RDAC Database™ incorporates disparate geospatial datasets into a Critical Infrastructures Key Resources (CIKR) database and a refined Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) database to provide greater trust in the analytical data model. Both databases contain “National-Level” datasets for the U.S., with more detailed information for identified sites across the country.

Pre-existing and new geospatial datasets can be created and integrated into the RDAC Databases™ as designated by the end-user. Combining the databases with detailed terrain and imagery files generates a strong basis for training, planning, assessment, operations, and response. To make sense of the information, RDACg™ takes volumes of these data sets in a variety of formats and turns the information into a visual representation that is easy to analyze and understand.

About RDAC® Software Suite

Developed by IP Systems International LLC, the RDAC® Software Suite is an interoperable, dynamic, high-speed analytical application capable of performing rapid, real-time geospatial data analysis. Through the intuitive interface of RDACg™, organizations across all spheres of business, industry, military and government can analyze geospatial data in a comprehensive visual representation. The software suite consists of three main components (RDACg™, RDAC Engine™ and RDAC Database™) that can function independently or together to translate thousands of layers of data from any source into a single, readable viewpoint.
