FalconView™

FalconView is a PC based Mapping Application developed by the  Georgia Tech Research Institute for the Department of Defense.

The software is widely used by the US DoD and Allied countries, but historically it has not been available to the general public. Thanks to an initiative by the US Air Force, we have begun releasing a Free and Open Source version of FalconView unfer the rerms of the  GNU LGPL license. To get started with the Open Source release see our Feature Matrix, Screen Shots, and Quick Start Guide.

A Note on Posting

All parts of the wiki may be read without registering (or logging in) but in order to write questions or update other posts you need to be registered. We intend for this to be an open wiki where any user will automatically be allowed to post, but unfortunately we are currently being inundated by bots attempting to register with fake names and user IDs. It is assumed that this is an attempt to post spam or even use the ticket system to email spam to others. For this reason, the registration process is a little cumbersome. Please follow these instructions to register your UserID in order to post to the website.

FalconView Symposium 2010

The FalconView team will be hosting the first FalconView Symposium this Summer. This annual event will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, August 23-25. International attendees are welcome to attend.

GTRI will be presenting several sessions on FalconView integration best practices. There are trade offs for various possible integration scenarios. Our aim is to get the word out on what can be done, what should be done, and what is being done now. Are you planning a proposal for a FalconView tool? Let us help translate the requirements for you and see what others are doing. The differences among the various FalconView versions out there will also be covered as well as how to move your tools forward into newer FalconView releases.

The floor is open for speakers from the entire FalconView community. We want to hear what you would like FalconView to do for you.

Attendance is space-limited to the first 200 registrants so reserve your spot soon! Please sign up for information below. A small conference fee will be charged during registration (there is a discount for presenters!). We need to get a headcount so please indicate the likelihood of your attendance in your email.
