Ursa Space Systems Joins OGSystems' BlueGlassTM Platform

OGSystems (OGS), a leader in technology innovation for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC), today announced its partnership with Ursa Space Systems Inc. (Ursa), incorporating Observation as a Service into BlueGlass – OGSystems’ easily accessible location-based intelligence platform. Ursa specializes in access, aggregation and analytics of global commercial satellite-based radar.

“Ursa’s reliable global observation intelligence capabilities bring imagery to life to automate photo interpretation,” said Omar Balkissoon, CEO and co-founder of OGSystems. “BlueGlass brings these observations together with natural language generation to perform basic imagery analysis reporting, freeing analysts and operators to focus on higher order assessments and operations.”

OGSystems’ BlueGlass platform models the world delivering insights through integrated data and artificial intelligence, by combining commercial remote sensing, big data, and artificial intelligence to deliver real-time insights through situational awareness, anomaly alerting, and reporting of activities that could pose risk to user operations.

OGSystems will showcase BlueGlass during the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s (USGIF) 2017 GEOINT Symposium taking place June 4-7 in San Antonio, TX. Visit Booth 525 for a live demo.

“We are proud to support OGSystems’ vision of offering location-based intelligence in an easily accessible analytics platform,” said Adam Maher, CEO and founder of Ursa Space Systems. “We’re excited to be working with platforms like BlueGlass to make the power of radar data more accessible to a broader number of users in the world.”
