ERDAS IMAGINE has been a long established geo-imaging software product dedicated to supporting the military use of satellite, airborne and geographic data management.

Since the launch of the first imagery satellite in the 1970’s ERDAS IMAGINE has been designed to ingest and enable the user to work and interoperate with the data.

In its time ERDAS has witnessed the huge explosion in available geographic data and has taken in its stride the growing military demands to support new data formats, new operational requirements and meeting the exacting standards set by military services globally who have come to trust it as the gold standard in imagery processing.

The evolution of optical, radar and more sophisticated sensors used to monitor, track and record activities globally can be seen to have been supported by ERDAS Imagine.

Military applications of ERDAS software are as varied as the missions of the end users. ERDAS IMAGINE was used to build target graphics during Desert Storm and Kosovo, but was also used to build the map products for the Dayton Peace Talks. It is being used by Army medical research teams to track insect-borne diseases in Africa and by strategic intelligence organisations to track refugees in the Balkans. If the mission requires the extraction of information from imagery, then ERDAS provides a solution.

ERDAS is currently being extensively utilised in operational activities and continues to support the UK military in its current commitments.
