Naval Research Lab Using FlexibleSearch to Power GIG Display
Reston, VA -- December 19, 2003

This week the Naval Research Lab began using FlexibleSearch™ to power its proof-of-concept display for GIG testing. The display, which could probably be best described as the ultimate video flight simulator, uses an enormous curved wall surface to display terrain and a myriad of intelligence objects from around the world.

Prior to the incorporation of FlexibleSearch™, the Naval Research Lab was having a great deal of difficulty finding an access method that could extract data rapidly enough to meet the requirements of the impressive display system. This resulted in a display with a small number of properly rendered objects at the center surrounded by a vast area of textured background -- a far cry from reality.

The problem resulted from the need to extract large amounts of data based upon geographic location and other attributes many times a second. The technological resources at hand simply could not cope!

Incorporating FlexibleSearch™, which only took a day, solved the problem. FlexibleSearch™ had absolutely no difficulty meeting the performance requirements. Most impressive was the ability of FlexibleSearch™ to extract data based upon geographic location at rates, which actually far exceeded the requirements. As Dardo Kleiner, a contractor at the Naval Research Lab working on the project, put it in an email to the president of SLICCWARE: "geo-spatial searches are lightning fast - impressive".

With FlexibleSearch™ as part of the system, the moving display is now seamless and complete. A tribute to what Dardo and his fellow engineers at the Naval Research Lab can accomplish.

SLICCWARE Corporation is a small high-tech company located in Northern Virginia. SLICCWARE as been at the forefront of targeted search technology, including localized search for over six years, and has been used by some of the best sites.
