Army obtains data-retrieval software - UPI.com SAN DIEGO, March 16 (UPI) -- Commercial data management software from BAE Systems has been obtained by the U.S. Army to simplify search and retrieval of data from legacy repositories. A total of 50 GXP Xplorer enterprise server licenses are covered under the contract for the Distributed Common Ground System-Army Enabled Common Ground Stations and will be deployed in the middle of this year. With the system, Army brigade combat teams will be able to easily identify and catalog images, maps, terrain, features, videos and documents of interest on local desktops or across an enterprise. BAE said GXP Xplorer "scans multiple sources simultaneously to locate relevant data and delivers it to a specified destination based on user-defined search criteria. Raw as well as processed data can be previewed prior to retrieval and opened directly into applications for analysis, mission planning and intelligence reporting. "Intel analysts are challenged to find the data they need, when they need it," said Dan London, vice president of sales, marketing and customer support for the Geospatial eXploitation Products business. GXP Xplorer allows analysts to find and catalog information, so they can perform their mission.
