Analysis & Reporting ​

Measurement, terrain analysis, and documentation generation.

Overview ​

Analysis & Reporting covers post-mission and ongoing analytical activities: measuring distances and areas, analyzing terrain, generating reports, and exporting data for other systems. These capabilities support decision-making and documentation requirements.

Workflow: Terrain Analysis ​

Step 1: Elevation Analysis ​

  1. Query elevation at key points
  2. Generate elevation profiles along routes
  3. Identify high ground and depressions
  4. Note terrain obstacles

Step 2: Visibility Analysis ​

  1. Place observer at planned positions
  2. Generate viewshed overlay
  3. Identify dead space
  4. Recommend observation adjustments

Step 3: Movement Analysis ​

  1. Analyze slope along routes
  2. Check for trafficability
  3. Identify chokepoints
  4. Evaluate cover and concealment

Step 4: Document Findings ​

  1. Export viewshed layers
  2. Capture elevation profiles
  3. Generate analysis report
  4. Share with planning team

Workflow: Report Generation ​

Step 1: Capture Current State ​

  1. Arrange display for capture
  2. Hide unnecessary layers
  3. Take map screenshot
  4. Note current DTG

Step 2: Export Data ​

  1. Export ORBAT as JSON
  2. Export overlays as KML
  3. Save scenario file
  4. Generate telemetry logs

Step 3: Compile Report ​

  1. Combine screenshots and data
  2. Add narrative description
  3. Include measurements
  4. Reference source files

Step 4: Distribute ​

  1. Save to appropriate workspace
  2. Set sharing permissions
  3. Notify recipients
  4. Archive for records

Analysis Best Practices ​

Viewshed Analysis ​

  • Set appropriate observer height
  • Consider target height for LOS
  • Limit range for performance
  • Overlay multiple viewsheds

Measurement Accuracy ​

  • Use appropriate coordinate precision
  • Account for terrain in distance
  • Verify with known distances
  • Document measurement method

Documentation Standards ​

  • Include DTG on all products
  • Use consistent naming
  • Version control documents
  • Archive source data
