STK/Coverage offers a complete set of capabilities for determining the measure of effectiveness of an assigned
group of STK objects or "assets" over an area of interest, and for a given time period. STK/Coverage
can determine inter-visibility or "access" between the assigned asset(s) and a continuous area using a
grid of evenly spaced points.
STK/Coverage defines a spatial area of interest, assets of a system, an analysis time interval, and a Figure of
Merit which measures the system effectiveness. The Figure of Merit object allows STK users to funnel large
amounts of computed access data into statistics which are understood through custom reports and dynamic 2D or
3D graphics. Graphical animation of these time-varying statistics and the ability to view the system from any
vantage point in 3D space provides further insight into temporal geospatial relationships.
Below are some examples of STK/Coverage analysis:
- What combination of LEO satellites, aircraft, and UAVs will provide 100% coverage (persistent surveillance) over my area?
- How does the failure of one satellite in a constellation affect overall coverage?
- What areas are obstructed from satellite communications by the local terrain?
- Where and when do coverage gaps exist?
- When do 1, 2, 3, and 4-ball coverage opportunities exist?
