TERRAIN ABOVE ELEVATION CAPABILITY

Jun 13, 2024

FlySight, aiming to increase real-time situational awareness for onboard operators, has introduced a new feature in its OPENSIGHT Mission Console.

The Terrain Above Elevation Visualization Capability allows operators to visualize areas that pose a collision risk based on the current flight trajectory. The module displays with a red color areas with an altitude above the current helicopter height, while areas with lower elevation, which no longer pose a collision risk with the helicopter’s flight path, gradually turn green. When the helicopter goes down, the obstacles (such as possible mountains, wooded areas, buildings) on its direction turn red.

The system dynamically adjusts the color representation of the areas to indicate their level of risk. The areas that may pose a potential collision risk are highlighted in red, alerting the operator to potential hazards. This feature provides real-time visual feedback to the operator, allowing them to make informed decisions based on the changing risk level as the helicopter’s altitude changes.

Key Features of the Capability:

Real-Time Visualization: Operators can now visualize obstacles along the flight trajectory in real-time, with colors indicating the level of danger.

Dynamic Update: The red visualization of obstacles and the gradual color change for less hazardous areas provide operators with a clear visual indication as the helicopter ascends.

Enhanced Safety: This innovative feature is designed to improve operational safety, enabling operators to quickly assess potential threats along the flight trajectory.

The introduction of this feature in the OPENSIGHT Mission Console represents a significant advancement in the aviation industry, offering operators a powerful tool to improve operational efficiency and safety. FlySight’s continued commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions underscores its dedication to supporting defense and security operations with the most advanced technology.

FlySight is proud to announce the official release of MAP CREATOR, a cutting-edge software tool developed to radically simplify and accelerate the preparation of map datasets for real-time 3D visualization.

Designed as a core component of the OPENSIGHT platform, MAP CREATOR allows users to transform raster, elevation, and vector data into optimized MBTILES — a standard format for tiled offline maps — with just a few clicks.

MAP CREATOR boasts a modern, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that eliminates the need for command-line skills or programming knowledge. Users can upload individual files or entire folders, preview content, apply smart styling rules, and generate ready-to-use map packages in record time. The tool supports a wide variety of geospatial formats, including TIFF, JPG, PNG, ECW, DTED (DT0, DT1, DT2), and shapefiles (.shp), ensuring flexibility across both commercial and defense applications.

What truly sets MAP CREATOR apart is its deep integration with OPENSIGHT Mission Console, making it not just a pre-processing tool but a strategic asset for mission planning and real-time operations.

Avionic Operators can now generate, preview, and load custom maps directly into the console environment — enhancing situational awareness and reducing reliance on external processing tools.

Among its standout features are:

⚙️ Smart vector styling with attribute-driven rules

⚙️ Support for terrain-aware vector rendering using elevation sources

⚙️ 3D extrusion and label rendering for intuitive map outputs

⚙️ High-performance raster and elevation tiling with multiprocessing support

⚙️ Advanced MBTILES merging to build seamless base layers and overlays

MAP CREATOR represents a major step forward in geospatial usability,” said Mattia Carpin, Head of Engineering at FlySight. “It combines the technical power of our SDK with the simplicity and visual control today’s users expect.

MAP CREATOR is now available as part of the latest OPENSIGHT SDK and with OPENSIGHT Mission Console. For demos, licensing, or partnership inquiries, contact FlySight’s commercial team.

FlySight team constantly develops cutting-edge solutions to provide real-time support in defence and security operations decision making.
