Thales, a renowned defense and security technology company, aims to enhance the realism of its flight simulation solutions by integrating high-quality global imagery. To achieve this, Thales collaborates with PlanetObserver, a provider of off-the-shelf imagery base maps. The project addresses challenges related to database quality, integration complexity, and scalability. By implementing the PlanetSAT base map, Thales achieves improved user experience, enhanced visual quality, and cost savings. The solution not only meets Thales' strict requirements but also offers scalability and compatibility with existing systems, resulting in a more immersive training experience for pilots.
