ICU WORKBENCH - The Art of Where

PRODUCT OVERVIEWThe Art of Where

The World’s leading Location Analysis solutionICU Workbench is a Location Analysis solution that delivers

fast, accurate analysis of raw geo-temporal data attributed

to a target or group of targets collected through various

forms of Location-Based Surveillance activities such as GPS

tracking or cellular location monitoring. The ICU Workbench

rapidly produces high quality results while saving an Analyst

up to a day a week in effort.

Answering the where, when, how often and who else of surveillance.

Without ICU Workbench

Using Location-based surveillance only for real-time awareness and GPS points for simplistic plotting of stops.

Analyzing location points only in support of other investigative data that has been uncovered

Analyzing location data in small duration segments — resulting in non-continuous reporting

Unable to fully process long duration (multi-month) tracks due to time and complexity involved

With ICU Workbench

Easily process all location data to find out where they go, how often, for how long, who they meet, how

they get there, where they go next

Rapid processing of all location data to drive investigative activity

Easily append one tracking segment to the prior segment(s) and deliver continuous reporting

identifying all patterns — completed in minutes

Rapid, accurate processing of many, multi-month tracking missions with detailed reporting and visual

representation delivered in minutes

CHANGING THE LOCATION TRACKING PARADIGM

Maximize the Value of Your Tracking Mission Activity

“ICU Workbench saves me forty days of effort per year but more importantly, we can begin to do things we’ve never known to be possible with the data we have.”

Visualization versus AnalysisRegardless of the source of data, the ability to place the points

onto a map for review is available across several applications.

Visualization of data is far different than an analysis of it. Analysts

or Investigators using visualizations are still required to manually

analyze those products to arrive at critical intelligence. Most

often, due to the time required to do so, their efforts are focused

on stops at locations and not the Pattern of Life for a person of

interest. Those who leverage the ICU Workbench significantly

reduce the effort to identify key intelligence while also gaining

new insights.

Months to MinutesUsers routinely recover eight to twelve hours per week by using

the ICU Workbench. By automating the analysis of the raw data,

the ICU Workbench empowers the user to work instead with

an intelligence product. By proposing to the Analyst actionable

intelligence within the data, the analytical efforts and reporting

are significantly advanced while dramatically reducing the time to

arrive at that intelligence.


Analytical FeaturesThe ICU Workbench is the only solution which analyzes geo-

temporal data and provides a number of features which provide

significant advantages beyond the visualization of the data.

Gain New Insights. ICU Workbench streamlines the location data

analysis process allowing a user to focus on higher value analysis.

The ease and speed of the tool allow an analyst to process the

complete set of data without the worry of time constraints. The

analysis of the complete data helps ensure that nothing is missed

and reveals new intelligence that can otherwise be overlooked.

Detailed Examination of Travel. Every destination that the ICU

Workbench finds can be interrogated to see the details surrounding

the visits including the time and day, as well as the destination

the target was at before and after each visit. Additionally, the

frequency of visits to each destination is recorded. After importing

new data, simply exporting a map of the day’s travel along with a

Daily Itinerary Report and Daily Highlights Report can reduce hours

of effort into a couple of clicks.

Data Comparison & Fusion. Disparate sources of data can be

viewed at the same time. Whether to compare multiple persons for

the same period of time, or to view multiple sets of data for a single

target, the ICU Workbench allows the user to compare different

data and compress them into a single track resulting in a single

report for all movements.

Multi-Target Analysis. Networks of targets can be found using

the ICU Workbench’s Multi-Target correlation capabilities. This ‘one-

to-many’ analysis includes insight into who may be meeting with

the person of interest, and where they are meeting.

Distributable Analysis Results. All of our reports can be saved

in multiple formats, including KML, PDF, Word and Excel for

distribution to analysis consumers.

Target Home and Work Location. The analysis engine will

automatically identify a target’s Home and Work locations. This

provides immediate insight into the target’s lifestyle. The engine

has correctly assigned Home and Work locations from tracks of

convicted criminals that have non-typical travel patterns and

lifestyles (Narcotics Distribution, Human Trafficking, etc...)

Level of Interest. The ICU analysis engine automatically assigns a

Level of Interest (LOI) to all the elements it finds in a track including

Destinations, Visits, Routes, Trips and Driving Events. These

assignments are based on a proprietary statistical model. All engine

assigned LOI’s can be overridden by the Analyst. The LOI attribute

is useful in generating investigative alerts and in filtering out

lower interest data from the map display and data panels, thereby

providing focus and clarity on the most important target activities.


Proven ResultsICU Workbench is a proven intelligence and investigative asset

that has been used to support counter-terrorism operations,

investigate organized crime, and analyze serious criminal activity

in five countries on three continents. Intelligence Analysts rely on

ICU Workbench to provide accurate results in prosecuting criminals,

support mission planning and network association analysis. ICU

Workbench is a proven technology, operational throughout five

Western world governments at the Federal level.

Uniformity Across TeamsRarely do two people produce the same reports when looking at

the same data. The ICU Workbench provides a uniform approach

to the analysis of geo-temporal data. Without the requirement

of dedicated GIS training, the ICU Workbench ensures that the

intelligence products from a team of Intelligence Analysts or

Investigators are not only consistent but are based upon the analysis

of all data available for consumption.

Vital Add-On ComponentsICU MultiView. Persons of interest generate a varied array of data

to be analyzed. Disparate sources of data can be viewed at the same

time. Whether to compare multiple persons for the same period of

time, or to view multiple sets of data for a single target, the ICU

Workbench allows the user to compare different data and compress

them into a single track resulting in a singular reporting tool to

demonstrate movement.

ICU Predictions. Today’s predictive policing landscape largely

focuses on heat maps for past criminal activity. Our predictive tool

looks at the historical patterns of a specific individual and identifies

locations the target is likely to visit at any given time.

“By far the most beneficial feature has been the multi-track report that has allowed us to identify common residences and targets previously unknown. These have directly led to the creation of high priority targets and initiation of new and larger conspiracy cases.”

Narcotics Task Force, USA

ICU TrackNet. Comparing geo-temporal data spanning weeks or

months against multiple individuals could take months of effort.

The ICU TrackNet solution quickly correlates multiple data sources

and identifies potential meetings and/or dead drop locations. This is

a ‘many-to-many’ comparison and helps identify connections across

groups of individuals.
