Sun Position Analysis can be used to identify areas of potential natural concealment.
The sun’s illumination on a given terrain can conceal areas from visual detection. Identifying when, and where, the sun’s illumination will create natural areas of concealment helps mission planners decide where to place assets and anticipate where they may encounter oppositional forces.
The Sun Position Analysis solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you visualize the sun’s illumination on a given terrain and share that information with military planners and decision makers.
