Abstract:
1. A system for rapid dissemination of image products, comprising: a rapid image distribution system having a remote server, an enterprise server, and a proxy server; a data consumer display device sending an initial geospatial request for a map image of a specific area of interest to the proxy server of the rapid image distribution system, the proxy server forwarding the request to the enterprise server; a sensor ground station having a georectification processor and receiving the request from the enterprise server of the rapid image distribution system; a sensor platform command and control station, the sensor ground station sending a collection task to the sensor platform command and control station; and a sensor platform having an imagery/radar sensor, the sensor platform command and control station tasking the imagery/radar sensor to image an environment containing the specific area to collect sensor data, the imagery/radar sensor transmitting the collected sensor data having a first format to the sensor ground station, the sensor ground station processing the sensor data into a second format and sending it to the georectification processor, and the georectification processor rectifying the sensor data to create georectified data and sending the georectified data to the rapid image distribution system via the remote server, wherein the remote server, as primary servicing server, processes the georectified data to create image services optimized for distribution on a low bandwidth rapid dissemination path to the data consumer display device through the proxy server while concurrently pushing a compressed georectified data product and associated metadata to the enterprise server, the proxy server storing a copy of a response to the initial request, the proxy server, when seeing a subsequent request for the same map image, services the subsequent request using its stored copy of the previously requested data, and the enterprise server processes the georectified data to create the same image services optimized for network distribution and switches to the primary servicing server to disable the low bandwidth rapid dissemination path, the remote server becoming a secondary servicing server, and the enterprise server routing the image services through the proxy server to the data consumer display device for display.
