Next Meeting: Jan 28, 11:30 am ET

Virtual Meeting

Purpose: 

The Modeling, Simulation & Gaming Working Group (MS&G) educates and informs the global Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) community on how modeling, simulation and gaming technology can be made more interoperable with GEOINT tradecraft.  We seek to collaborate with Industry, Academia, and Government to highlight advanced research concepts and commercial technology developments supporting geospatial modeling, simulation and gaming systems that are capable of delivering authoritative and relevant GEOINT at the point of need.

A core tenant of our collaboration strategy is to maintain close working relationships with both the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Interoperability, Simulation and Gaming (IS&G) Working Group and the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO)

Objectives: 

  • Interoperability of software, workflows and data across the GEOINT and M&S communities to improve mission responsiveness by leveraging a growing diversity of geospatial information. 
  • 3D Feature Extraction, Modeling and Analytics of 3D geo-specific and geo-typical environments including terrain, buildings, roads, hydrology, vegetation and other features used to generate GEOINT analytical products and databases. 
  • Simulation Technologies supporting 3D geo-synthetic environments including Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities. 
  • Gaming Technology supporting the visualization, content generation and streaming of 3D geospatial data. 5
  •  Geo-synthetic Environments supporting machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) approaches for generating labeled training data through sensor fusion and 3D modeling
