The Debrief Blog

Symbols are used to add value to analysis plots, through giving a visual indication of the vehicle type. In the past, the symbols have been hard-coded in Debrief, but now Debrief supports the provision of vectored symbols in the industry standard SVG format. The first set of symbols is shown below. Please feel free to...

With the conclusion of Sprint 4, the first major work package ("Epic" in Scrum language) is coming to completion, Export to PPT. In a multi-threaded package of work different members of the team have: designed PowerPoint master slides developed Python code to iteratively work through the various processes involved in transforming Debrief screen pixels into...

To support the development of multi-static analysis capabilities, we've added the ability to introduce 3 actors in the frequency optimisation process: transmitter, subject, and receiver. See more in the video below:

The main way for narrative data to get into Debrief is by the translation of system recording into .REP format. But, on occasion a Debrief analyst wishes to enter one or more narrative entries directly into Debrief. Historically this has always been possible right-clicking on the Narratives folder in the Outline View, or by right-clicking...

Analysts have always been able to use Target Motion Analysis (TMA) algorithms to predict missing track data using passive sensor data. Traditionally, this has only allowed use of a single sensor. Now analysts would like to triangulate a track using multiple sensors. This trial release will let you do just that, to perform manual TMA....

Part of the package of new features to support multi-statics is to allow manual TMA to be conducted using sensor measurements from more than one platform. This video shows how sensor data from two floating sensor buoys can be used to triangulate a straight leg of positional data. The changes to support this have affected...

Sprint 3 has largely been behind-the-scenes efforts to get ready for some upcoming significant features (especially Debrief Lite). An automated build/test of Debrief Classic is now performed on every commit, and it's now included in every release (rebadged as Debrief Lite). This has allowed us to de-risk the eventual builds of Debrief Lite proper. Debrief...

Analysts have some specific needs for their reports. Sometimes they’d like exported images to be in a specific size or aspect ratio. Resizing imported images in word or powerpoint is easy, but if it’s not in the correct aspect ratio the images can get stretched/compressed. Doesn’t look good at all does it? That’s why we’re...

At a recent meeting conducting discovery of what Debrief-Lite should look like, an existing user indicated he really wanted time filtering to be via a dialog box, not by dragging the time filter controls - which is a pain to fine tune in Debrief. Of course, it's already possible to fine-tune these controls to a...

What good is all this analysis if you can’t put it in a report? Many of our analysts use powerpoint to show their teams what they’ve found. Most use cropped screenshots for the task, but we wanted to help them do better. That’s why we’re adding the ability to export scenarios as video files or...
