Tactical Geospatial Intelligence.

Turn terrain into operational advantage. Plan infrastructure, optimize movement, and execute across remote environments.

Spatial Pillars of Operation

Deploying advanced spatial intelligence where connectivity is scarce, but deployment speed is absolutely critical.

Laydown Yard Optimization

Maximize space and minimize mass movement using advanced spatial algorithms (HSML). Digital twins of material flow integrated directly with Oracle P6 scheduling.

3D DIGITAL TWIN | P6 INTEGRATION

Expeditionary Infrastructure

Rapid terrain-driven site analysis and engineered layout of modular base systems including power grids, SATCOM, and shelter optimized for execution across operational theatres.

TERRAIN ANALYSIS | SYSTEM LAYOUT

Remote Operations & GIS

Synchronization at the tactical edge. Expert offline-first mobile GIS maps and high-value asset tracking via LoRaWAN/SATCOM backhaul in zero-cell zones.

TACTICAL OFFLINE GIS | AUSTERE COMMS

SOLUTIONS

BIM to Terrain-Ready Digital Twin

Rapidly convert BIM to IFC and deploy into a geospatial environment to evaluate sites, simulate layouts, and run optioneering against real-world constraints.

Remote Site Selection & Optioneering

Evaluate terrain, access, slope, hydrology, logistics corridors, and constraints to determine the best site before mobilization. Reduce weeks of planning to hours.

Laydown Yard Optimization

Understand how materials, equipment, and crews move through space. Optimize layout, reduce congestion, and align yard operations with construction sequencing.

Tactical Edge Operations

Deploy resilient geospatial systems for teams in austere environments. Enable mapping, tracking, and coordination without relying on persistent connectivity.

Infrastructure & Asset Visibility

Monitor distributed assets, facilities, and field conditions through a unified geospatial operating picture that supports faster decisions and better outcomes.

Wildfire & Incident Response

Combine terrain, weather, access routes, and field data into one spatial workflow to improve coordination, safety, and response time during high-tempo operations.

Environmental Monitoring at Scale

Track landscape change, compliance, and environmental conditions using repeatable geospatial workflows and imagery analysis across large areas.

Asset Tracking & Movement Intelligence

Monitor vehicles, crews, and equipment using geofences and spatial analytics to understand movement patterns, improve utilization, and reduce risk.

Multi-Stakeholder Common Operating Picture

Provide owners, operators, and field teams with a shared geospatial view of reality without forcing everyone into the same system.

Lunar Site Selection & Optioneering

Identify optimal locations for habitats, landing zones, and energy systems by analyzing terrain, regolith stability, solar exposure, and communications. Execute rapid optioneering to define the fastest path to sustained lunar presence—reducing risk, minimizing logistics complexity, and compressing planning timelines from months to hours.

OUR TEAM

Cameron Pearson, Founder & CEO

Cameron Pearson is the Founder and CEO of Summit Spatial, advancing geospatial intelligence for expeditionary infrastructure and remote operations. He brings 15+ years as a GIS leader, including 5 years at Bechtel leading geospatial engineering, innovation, and large-scale EPC infrastructure programs, and 8 years as GIS Manager for Culver City in West Los Angeles.

His experience spans some of the world’s most complex projects, including the Sepulveda Transit Corridor, Riyadh Metro, Trojena, NEOM, AP1000 Nuclear, Pluto LNG, Western Sydney Airport, and Artemis/Moonshot initiatives. Cameron specializes in building systems that unify engineering, construction, and field data into a single operational picture—combining real-world field experience with deep technical expertise to deliver solutions that perform in remote, high-consequence environments.

Michael Yoder, PE — Strategic Partner, Infrastructure Systems

Michael Yoder is a licensed Professional Engineer and founder of Desert Springs Civil Engineering, a civil infrastructure firm specializing in earthwork, grading, and site development. He brings 15+ years of experience delivering complex civil projects, with deep expertise in transportation systems and water resources.

Michael is a major contributor to Bonsai BIM: an open-source, native IFC authoring solution for Blender. He is also the primary developer of the Saikei Civil project, implementing the only native IFC 4.3 design toolset for infrastructure, purpose-built to connect engineering design directly to geospatial and digital twin environments.

Integration of Saikei’s infrastructure capabilities into the core Bonsai platform is currently proposed under Google Summer of Code 2026. His work bridges the gap between BIM, open standards, and field execution — enabling infrastructure models that are natively interoperable with GIS, Cesium, and NVIDIA Omniverse.

Desert Springs Civil Engineering partners with Summit Spatial to deliver terrain-integrated infrastructure systems for complex and remote environments. Michael holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Purdue University.
