Collection Planning Suite (CPS)

Riverside Research’s Collection Planning Suite (CPS) is a web-based modeling and simulation environment and an automated planning tool for space-based GEOINT. We developed CPS to provide collection managers the ability to manage the vast and diverse array of classified and commercial satellites against a common shared deck of collection requirements with ease. CPS is web-based, has a Technical Readiness Level of 9 (TRL-9), and is currently operational at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). As a license-free product for the US Government, the CPS is a powerful and affordable answer to your GEOINT constellation planning needs.
