The GXP Screener Tool provides a key capability to the High Altitude Workflow Coordinator (HAWC) to reviews the imagery from the sensor to insure that the image meets exploitation requirements as defined by the Essential Elements of Information (EEI). SOCET GXP V4.2 will be integrated into the DCGS Weapon System workflow system called GEOINT Workflow Enhancements (GWE) Phase 2 software baseline, which is made up of SOCET GXP, Unified Collection Operations Reporting Network (UNICORN), GXP Xplorer, and Geospatial Distributed Enterprise Services (GDES). GWE is a mission critical GEOINT Exploitation system the controls imagery workflow/dataflow process from the tasking the sensor all the way through the dissemination/storage of the finished intelligence product.
