This advanced capability adds a new level of detail and realism to current urban battlefield modeling techniques. Infused with state-of-the-art Terrestrial LIDAR technology, BuckEye 3D Ground provides unique ground-level tactical geospatial information to the soldier. BuckEye 3D Ground leveraged capabilities developed under the Urban Recon Joint Concept Technology Demonstration (JCTD), DARPA's UrbanScape Project, and the Geospatial Intelligence Video Program. Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors provide the high-resolution, 3D geospatial data and digital color cameras provide additional information that complements the LIDAR point cloud data. The addition of a LIDAR sensor in 2005 was part of the BuckEye 3-Dimensional (3D) Ground Project, started by the US Army Geospatial Center (AGC), an element of the US Army Corps of Engineers, to provide soldiers with high quality geospatial information from a ground-level perspective. The BuckEye Program was born in 2004 out of the need for unclassified high-resolution geospatial data for tactical missions.
