Abstract: A system and process that incorporates hardware and software as elements to be combined with procedures and processes to obtain, format, store, combine, control, display, record, and visualize dynamic scenarios by interacting with accurate, realistic models and actual events within, on, and above a three-dimensional surface to be observed or modeled. The present invention software and process is capable of displaying extremely high resolution terrain models and imagery in real time over the entire surface of the planet, as well as a large number of moving entities and their associated graphical models. These features, combined with a network application programming interface (API), make the present invention suitable for flight simulation out-the-window displays, command and control scenarios, and mission review or rehearsal.

Abstract: A system and process that incorporates hardware and software as elements to be combined with procedures and processes to obtain, format, store, combine, control, display, record, and visualize dynamic scenarios by interacting with accurate, realistic models and actual events within, on, and above a three-dimensional surface to be observed or modeled. One application provides a user-manipulated large-scale dynamic display of systems testing in a real world environment for real time visualization by test personnel. The Global Visualization Process (GVP) system is an integrated software solution for high-performance visualization. GVP software and process is capable of displaying extremely high resolution terrain models and imagery in real time over the entire surface of the planet, as well as a large number of moving entities and their associated graphical models. The system can display imagery at 2 cm/pixel, and infinitely detailed terrain in real time over the whole surface of a planet.

Abstract: A method of assessing the effectiveness of a laser eye protection (LEP) device having an interference filter surface (IFS) includes (A) specifying optical densities at a number of points on the IFS for a user specified range of incident angles of a given wavelength of laser light at each of the number of points; (B) entering the specified optical densities into a computer; (C) entering properties of the IFS into the computer; (D) entering properties of an eye into the computer; (E) entering properties of the given wavelength of laser radiation into the computer; (F) defining a grid for the IFS and assigning values of optical densities to points on the IFS grid using the optical densities from step (A) and interpolation; (G) assigning different colors to different optical densities, respectively; (H) generating and displaying a three-dimensional image of the eye and IFS using a graphical user interface (GUI); (I) using the GUI, selecting an incident angle orientation for the given wavelength of laser light and
