AGI's New STK 9.1 Delivers Urban Communications and Near-Space Environment Analysis
STK/Space Environment and Effects Tool and Urban Propagation Extension spearhead the release
EXTON, Pa., - Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI), producer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software for integrated analysis of space, defense and intelligence assets, has released STK 9.1, a follow-on to its most significant software release in five years, STK 9. Highlights include an enhanced, interactive graphing package; the new STK/Space Environment and Effects Tool (STK/SEET) and an urban propagation extension for the STK/Communications module.
STK/Space Environment and Effects Tool (STK/SEET)
STK/SEET allows spacecraft designers, analysts and operators to assess the potential impact on space vehicles by modeling the near-Earth space environment. Developed by AGI business partner Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER), STK/SEET mitigates the risk to spacecraft through the calculation of exposure to ionizing particles, thermal radiation and space debris throughout the orbit.
Urban Propagation Extension
The new Urban Propagation Extension to STK/Communications combines STK's analysis and visualization engine with urban path-loss predictions from AGI business partner Remcom, an industry leader in electromagnetic simulation and high-fidelity propagation. This integration creates a fast, high-fidelity mission perspective for tactical mobile communications, net-centric ISR, cyber warfare and urban tactics and eliminates the need for operators and analysts to choose between speed and accuracy.
"STK 9.1's significant enhancements to situational awareness aid operators and analysts in making difficult decisions quickly and effectively," says Kevin Flood, vice president of product marketing. "Additionally, we are proud that our business partners played such significant roles in this software release by improving tactical communications and space situational awareness."
