3D Map Explorer turns any Windows workstation into a complete, offline geospatial hub — 3D visualization, true 3D / Z editing over GeoPackage, and now a full GEOINT workstation: TAK, radar & SAR exploitation, imagery intelligence, local AI, RF sensing, offline routing — and a complete UAS / drone loop from preflight Go/No-Go to oriented-imagery exploitation. No cloud. No ArcGIS license. No infrastructure.
Valuable geospatial data is trapped on individual workstations. Enterprise GIS servers cost a fortune and take weeks to stand up. Cloud tools raise data-sovereignty concerns. Field teams go dark the moment the network drops.
Enterprise GIS stacks demand dedicated hardware, licenses, and a half-FTE just to keep the lights on.
Cloud sync is a non-starter for classified, regulated, or commercially sensitive geospatial data.
Field, tactical, and remote teams lose every collaborative capability the moment the uplink fails.
A WPF desktop host with an in-process ASP.NET Core server: 30+ formats and six databases go in, open standards come out — OGC, Esri REST, I3S, STAC, vector tiles, streams. Nothing leaves your network.
Full technical architecture with request flows and data pathways in ARCHITECTURE.md
Built on an in-process ASP.NET Core server, the desktop hosts, serves, edits, analyzes, and shares geospatial data — fully offline if required.
True 3D (Z + M) editing over GeoPackage through an ESRI-compatible FeatureServer and the native Editor widget — round-trips elevation exactly.
Deep-dive →One click turns the workstation into a LAN-wide OGC / ESRI / 3D-Tiles endpoint. Zero config, zero infrastructure.
How it works →I3S SceneLayers from .slpk, Gaussian splats, OGC 3D Tiles, LiDAR point clouds, and streaming Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF.
See the stack →Shadow & solar potential, viewshed, slope/aspect, routing, spatial statistics — with live 3D visualization.
Explore tools →USGS quakes, NOAA weather, AIS vessels, FAA aircraft, Meshtastic mesh, TAK/CoT, APRS, and IoT sensors.
Live data →GeoPackage, GeoJSON, ESRI Geodatabase, Shapefile, KML, PMTiles, FlatGeobuf, COG — read, convert, serve.
Full format list →Beyond the six pillars — search public imagery catalogs, map your existing databases, fly drone video geo-locked to the terrain, import CAD, stream live feeds straight into ArcGIS, and serve terrain & imagery to Cesium, Unreal, Unity, and Godot with no Cesium ion or ArcGIS Online dependency.
Search Element 84 & Planetary Computer from one box, and publish your own rasters and point clouds as a spec-conformant STAC API 1.0.0.
Search & publish →Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, BigQuery, Google Sheets — spatial tables auto-discovered and served as MVT, OGC Features, and FeatureServer.
Map your data →STANAG/MISB KLV playback with a live sensor footprint, DJI→STANAG conversion, and optional YOLO-E detection — RTSP/UDP/SRT supported.
Geo-locked video →DWG / DXF / DGN onto the map via control-point or source-EPSG georeferencing, served as GeoJSON, MBTiles-vector, or GeoPackage.
Import drawings →Subscribe to SensorThings, SOS, GTFS-rt, and Moving Features into DuckDB — then expose moving data as a native Esri WebSocket StreamLayer.
Live streaming →Air-gapped terrain & imagery for Cesium, ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal/Unity, and Godot — quantized-mesh, WMTS, TMS XML, and LERC. For mission-planning & simulation enclaves without Cesium ion or ArcGIS Online.
Engine integrations →The full feature hub — the six pillars plus everything above, with deep-dive pages and the promo deck.
All features →The newest releases turn the desktop into a full intelligence platform: tactical comms, radar and SAR exploitation, imagery intelligence, local AI, RF sensing, offline routing, GIS-server emulation — plus SharePoint lists as editable layers, commercial satellite tasking, LoD2.2 city reconstruction, and a plugin SDK.
TAK Server + air-gapped multicast, blue-force overlay, GeoChat, Mission Board kanban with AAR replay, geofencing, MIL-STD-2525.

Exploit imagery →Gemma 3 / Phi-4 chatbot + NL→SQL, SAM2 segmentation, YOLO-E detection — all on your hardware, no cloud AI.
On-prem intelligence →Resolved-canonical-entity graph fuses every feed into one typed object model, exposed as MCP tools an AI agent calls directly — resolve_entity, find_paths, get_neighbors — over Streamable HTTP.
Agent-callable COP →Plan UAS surveys on the map — FlyPath turns a drawn polygon into an optimized flight grid with GSD, photo-count, and battery estimates, exports DJI WPML .kmz, and checks FAA airspace (Class B/C/D, SUA, TFRs, UASFM grids).
Plan the flight →Connect a PX4 or ArduPilot autopilot over MAVLink (UDP/TCP) and watch the drone fly as a live green track — position, battery, flight mode, GPS health, armed state — shared to the TAK team as a friendly air track.
Watch it fly →Supervised & unsupervised imagery classification — SAM, Min-Distance, Maximum Likelihood, K-means, plus RF/SVM — trained from ROIs or GPS points, with a full confusion-matrix accuracy assessment.
Classify the scene →ADS-B, RemoteID drones, AIS, APRS, scanner audio, and rtl_433 IoT — the RF spectrum fused onto one map.
Listen in →Air-gapped A* routing over your own road graph, multi-waypoint turn-by-turn, GPX/KML export, graph analysis.
Plan the route →Any SharePoint list as an editable map layer — Entra ID sign-in, five geometry shapes auto-detected, edits flow back via Graph.
Map the list →Search, task, and order from Planet, Sentinel Hub, Skywatch, and SkyFi — your accounts, your imagery, straight to the map.
Task the bird →LoD2.2 building reconstruction, splat training, forestry LiDAR — and a drop-in plugin platform to extend it all.
Rebuild & extend →Beyond GEOINT, the platform now runs the entire drone loop on one desktop — preflight Go/No-Go, live gimbal payload control, RTK/PPK corrections, BVLOS awareness, counter-UAS detection, flight-log replay, fleet management, orthomosaic/SfM processing, and oriented-imagery exploitation. Plan it, fly it, process it, exploit it — without leaving the workstation.
Controlled-airspace overlay, TFRs, a METAR wind gate, mission-footprint intersection, and a checklist → Go/No-Go verdict. LAANC-aware.
Get the verdict →Live gimbal attitude, RGB/thermal switching, and zoom — the platform's first outbound MAVLink command-send path.
Drive the sensor →NTRIP → RTCM → MAVLink relay for live RTK, plus PPK trajectory post-processing against base-station RINEX.
Centimeter accuracy →Fused traffic picture (Remote ID + MAVLink + ADS-B), terrain-sampled comm-link line-of-sight, and deconfliction alerts.
See the picture →Radar-webhook ingest, conservative threat assessment, protected-asset zones, and C-UAS ↔ Remote ID de-escalation.
Defend the asset →Ingest ArduPilot .tlog/.bin and DJI .csv logs; animate the trajectory and run post-flight analysis. Feeds PPK + fleet.
Replay the flight →Drone registry, flight-hour aggregation, maintenance-due tracking, and per-battery cycle logging — the airworthiness ledger.
Manage the fleet →Local OpenDroneMap CLI sidecar for air-gapped photogrammetry, plus WebODM/NodeODM cloud import.
