Space and Earth observing technologies play an important role in monitoring and mitigation of natural disasters. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), as an active microwave remote sensing technique, plays a particularly important role because it is capable of all time and all weather imaging, penetrating cloud and haze, and imaging with rapid developed  interferometry.

As more and more information pours in on a daily basis, managing the data and determining what is relevant can be a daunting task.  It is critical to take this complex information problem and transform it, not only for on-demand access online, but to make it simple and convenient for use by the Analyst. No one has the time to manually view, tag, correlate, and analyze the massive amounts of video and data pouring in from multiple sources every day—and to figure out how the pieces of the puzzle fit.
