Defense
In today’s battlespace, sharing information is critical, particularly geospatial imagery. Having tools that are designed to work with each other at every step along your workflow is the key to exploiting your imagery and delivering it downstream.
LizardTech’s list of customers in the Defense space ranges from NGA and Northrop Grumman to the United States Army and United States Marines. Depending on individual needs, our customers take advantage of LizardTech’s Express Suite® applications, which work together as a group, or choose just the components they need.

Deliver Actionable Intelligence to the Right Person at the Right Time and Place
LizardTech’s Express Suite line of software products is designed to rapidly manipulate and deploy geospatial imagery products. From the moment you acquire your georeferenced source imagery to the moment decision makers import your products into their GIS, Express Suite provides easy-to-use, standards-based tools that help you put your imagery to work downstream.
Manipulation and Compression
Import your source imagery into GeoExpress, where you can mosaic and crop images, correct tonal imbalances, and reproject to the coordinate system you require. Use GeoExpress’ powerful manipulation tools to deliver high quality, standards-based datasets out to the field.
Output in compressed MrSID or JPEG 2000 format directly to a file system or Express Server. Publish existing MrSID and JPEG 2000 imagery to Express Server without having to reencode.
Distribution and Viewing
Use Express Server to pull imagery from a file system or from Express Server catalogs. With an Express Suite workflow, your imagery can be viewed simultaneously in WMS and Web applications, ESRI applications and all GeoRaster-enabled applications – virtually all commonly used GIS applications, so you know your products can be rapidly deployed and quickly viewed by decision makers and Warfighters, no matter where they’re located or the application they’re using.
The interoperability that is the foundation of Express Suite means the utility of your imagery is not restricted by particular formats, data sources or viewing environments. With Express Suite, your imagery just gets where it’s needed—and gets there faster.
View Geospatial Images
Use GeoViewer, LizardTech’s free, stand-alone application, for viewing geospatial imagery and vector overlays. With GeoViewer you can combine, view and export visual layers from varied sources, such as local repositories, Express Server catalogs, and WMS and JPIP servers. LizardTech GeoViewer supports a wide range of input formats and exports to GeoTIFF, PNG and JPEG. This is the most efficient means of viewing MrSID, JPEG 2000 and NITF images.
