Vricon is an American geospatial-intelligence data and software provider. It is a joint venture between Saab and DigitalGlobe and headquartered in McLean, Virginia. Vricon has been in business since 2015.^[1]

Vricon’s technology for its 3D mapping of the globe uses ,^[2] relying on hundreds of images – typically from commercial satellite imagery, but other sources can be used – per location, without the use of ground control points. The full-color images have a 0.5-meter resolution and maintain an absolute accuracy of 3m SE90 (spherical error 90%). Processing this imagery can take anywhere from mere minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the requested area, and it can be available via cloud or download.

Use cases

Military:^[3] Vricon’s 3D global mapping allows warfighters to identify safe spots, plan routes, and observe changes in their surroundings.

Environment: Reprocessing data reveals changes between sets; digital elevation data can be used to show potential flooding. This can expose disaster damage, monitor environmental phenomena, and aid historical comparisons.

Communications: Increasing demand for connectivity requires analysis of accurate and high-resolution geodata at scale, to ensure growing networks have the support and security they need.

Customers

As of September 2017, customers include organizations in the Intelligence and Defense Communities, as well as telecommunications companies.
