TOUCHSHARE FOR STK

Interactive collaboration that close the loop from intelligence analysis through mission planning and operations

TouchShare™ for STK® is a visual front end for the Analytical Graphics, Inc. STK software platform that enables STK users and commanding officers to easily navigate, analyze and collaborate across multiple distributed systems. The increased functionality provided by TouchShare for STK improves planning and operations for space and aircraft missions, C4ISR, electronic system management and missile defense by providing a new and innovative way to interact with existing highly structured STK models and simulations (.sc and.vdf files).

Aimed to simplify and amplify the decision making process, TouchShare for STK enhances the exploration and presentation capabilities in STK, allowing users to easily navigate scenarios and control modeling and simulation through simple hand gestures and multi-touch animation controls. In addition, real-time collaboration capabilities create a common operating picture that is shared with clients on the network, establishing an interactive and collaborative experience between STK experts, decision makers and team members deployed across the globe.

 

Gestures

Navigation:
Manipulate globe or object navigation by switching the camera settings between fixed, inertial, topocentric or body reference frames.
   
Networking

Collaboration:
Share a real-time, common operating picture between STK experts, decision makers and deployed team members across the globe.
