BAE SYSTEMS INVEST IN DADEN TO DEVELOP DATA VISUALISATION SYSTEM
BAE Systems has signed an agreement with Birmingham based Daden Limited (Daden) toaccelerate the development of a versatile 3D immersive visual analytics application which can beused for the collaborative analysis and understanding of a wide variety of data. The project,established through BAE Systems Investment In Innovation (I3) programme, will create a systemthat allows participants from across the globe to get together to analyse and visualise shared data.
Organisations are increasingly overwhelmed by largeamounts of data from different sources that they need tounderstand, combine and interpret - either individually or as a
group. Trying to derive meaning from this unstructured data isdifficult and requires both analytical processes and intuitivehuman understanding. The system will enable users tocombine diverse data sources in a format that makes senseto them. It will allow the user to look at the data from differentperspectives in a 3D immersive environment, aiding retentionand recall whilst supporting decision and sense-making.
The application, designed by Daden, will import historic or real-time information from differentsources ranging from databases and web feeds, through social network and computer network data,to real-world sensors, GPS trackers and CCTV cameras. Users will be able to view the data in avariety of environments, including: 1:1 models of real-world spaces for security applications; a virtual
command centre for operations management; and a configurable 3D 'holodeck' space for moreabstract data. As well as conventional 2D displays the system will be able to plot both graphs andnetworks in 3D, easing the analysis of large quantities of multi-dimensional data, and show videofeeds and images.
As with any data visualisation system, users will be able to filter, sort and manipulate views of thedata sets which the system will record for future use. In addition multiple users from across anorganisation, represented by avatars, can meet inside the data, discuss it, and refer to web pagesand documents, increasing the efficiency and flexibility of the distributed users. Daden's applicationwill support real-time operations, security and emergency planning, as well as collaborative learningand training and simulation exercises, providing a highly cost-effective method for effectivecollaboration.
Investment in Innovation (I3) is BAE Systems programme to invest in Small and Medium sizedEnterprises and Academia to support the research, development and integration of newtechnologies to meet our customers existing and emerging requirements. Financial investment issupported with specialist facilities and expertise, providing access to a broad knowledge base andpartner network.

David Burden, Daden's Managing Director said "We werevery pleased to be approached by BAE Systems and for theirinterest in our data visualisation work. We are excited to be
part of the Investment in Innovation programme and theopportunities it allows us to accelerate development of thisapplication which will allow users to make sense of theirdata."
Jeff Capper, BAE Systems I3 Manager said, The investment
BAE Systems is making in Daden is to accelerate the development of this capability to bring earlyavailability to our customers. It allows decision makers to be dispersed at various locations,including globally, but still be in the hub of the operations centre virtually and see the same mixof data and information to inform decision making.
The system will be developed at Daden's offices at Birmingham Science Park Aston.
