Development of a desktop 3D visualization and editing software environment specifically focused on interoperability between Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and Operational (Mission Command/C2I/etc.) domains will be developed to support several consensus and community geospatial standards. The developed software will provide a capability to simultaneously visualize 3D content despite differences in encoding, data models, projections, coordinate systems, and more. Further, the development of application programming interfaces (API) and open-source software libraries will promote interoperability by enabling government programs and vendors to produce software that follows a common specification. As part of this effort, Cognitics will organize and promote the development of consensus-based geospatial extensions, conceptual data models, and profiles that will increase interoperability between M&S and Operational use-cases.
