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 terms 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
Our inaugural FalconView Symposium was a great success with approximately 90 attendees from a variety of user and developer communities. Most of the presentations have been posted on the symposium page so even if you could not make it, you can read about some of the highlights. If you would like to be notified about future events, be sure to include your email address when you request a site login. To get a login, use the register link at the top of the page.
User Information
Many user questions can be answered by referring to the Frequently Asked Questions page. Also, see the Discussion Boards.
Third Party Developer Information
The FVDev area contains information about developing tools to PlugIn to FalconView or which work with FalconView. Developers can also Get the SDK or post questions and answers about FalconView development. Another must is to visit the FvwWizards section to download the automation tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2010.
We also hope this site will become a repository for plug-in components to enhance FalconView. If you have a plug-in for FalconView that you would like us to share, please contact us.
