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 it historically has not been available to the general public. Thanks to an initiative by the US Air Force, we begun releasing a Free and Open Source version of FalconView. For more information on the features of the Open Source release see our Feature Matrix, Screen Shots, and Quick Start Guide.
A Note on Posting
All parts of the wiki can 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 who are attempting to register with fake names and user IDs. I assume 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.
