KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.3.9 for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system. The new version improves object search tasks, attribute database management, the map manager, and the legend. The toolkit for map editing and performing overlay operations has been expanded. The list of supported coordinate systems and tools for managing reference system parameters has been updated.

The "Search and Selection" and "Display Composition" dialogs now feature quick search by layer or class name when working with the layer and class tree. Object filtering by name, code, key, and symbolic code has been implemented. Sorting by every field in the object table has been added. New modes – "Layer Inversion" and "Object Inversion" – have been added to the "Objects" tab. These modes allow inverting the selection conditions for layers and classes. For objects, inversion is applied to the filtered data in the table. The "Numbers" tab functionality for working with unique object identifiers has been expanded. Users can now specify any set of numbers as selection criteria by activating the "Numbers" mode. The list of unique numbers can be loaded from a text file, pasted from the clipboard, or entered manually as numbers or ranges separated by commas.

The "View Attributes from Database" task, launched from the main panel, has been improved. A button for filtering records by arbitrarily selected layer objects was added. A button to reset all filters for the current active tab has been implemented. Buttons for adding/deleting records in tables not linked to geo-layers were added. When saving new records, all empty fields are automatically populated with default values from the database (including primary keys). Row color highlighting has been added: green for new rows, yellow for modified values, and red for rows marked for deletion. A notification about the absence of a primary key when attempting to edit tables without one has been implemented. Support for tables with composite primary keys has been added.

The "Object Lists" dialog now includes an "Inside and Touch" search mode. The search results are objects from the first list that are completely inside objects of the second list or have their contours touching from the inside.

The "Common Data List" tab in the "Map Legend" task has been improved. A "Select All Map Objects" option has been added to the context menu, allowing selection of all objects on the maps chosen in the common data list.

The "Creating Labels from Object Semantics" task has been refined. Functionality for saving the configured label settings has been implemented. Since creating labels for different map objects often requires different label characteristics, one or more parameter sets can be configured for each variant. Loading preset parameters automatically generates the data needed for label placement, significantly reducing task execution time.

The "Map Manager" task now includes automatic metadata database population, automatically generating a map tree based on a selected directory. The user specifies the initial search path and the file types to be included in the database. The system supports a wide range of formats: maps and plans (MAP, MAPZ), user maps (SIT, SITX, SITZ), raster maps (RSW), matrix maps (MTW, MTL, MTQ), vector map exchange formats (SXF, TXF, DXF), map projects (MPTZ), spatial databases (DBM), and others. This function automatically creates the map tree, significantly reducing data preparation time. For subsequent viewing and navigation, a "Classification by Types" display mode groups tree elements by formats.

Convenient search through the cartographic data tree has been implemented for the built map tree, supporting two modes: tree filtering and advanced attribute search. The first mode quickly displays only files matching specified conditions (by map type or date), while the second enables flexible search by names, notes, semantics, or object coordinates. Found elements are automatically highlighted in the tree and on the map, with navigation commands to move to the previous or next match. This approach provides users quick access to needed information even within large geodata arrays. The task's operating parameters are saved in a configuration file, restoring the tree view and search modes upon restarting the task. A built-in backup mode quickly creates copies of selected cartographic files to a specified folder, ensuring data integrity and safety.

A "Metadata" panel has been added, which complements the map tree with detailed information about the selected element. It includes three tabs: "General" (with editable parameters such as name, note, and data path, as well as automatically filled file or database characteristics), "View" (for displaying user maps, rasters, and matrices), and "Create Region" (for launching the mode of forming a new cartographic region). This approach allows users not only to structure data but also to promptly receive all necessary information about the map in a single interface.

Functionality for creating a cartographic region from selected SXF and TXF interchange format files has been added. Adding data to the list is done by simple dragging and dropping or double-clicking, with selected elements highlighted for clarity. After selecting the data, a map of the new region is formed, which opens in the GIS for further work. A "View" mode has been implemented, allowing visualization of user maps, rasters, and matrices. Users have access to convenient zoom tools — from showing the entire map in the window to zooming in, zooming out, and returning to the original scale.

The "Reference System Parameters from an XML File" dialog has been improved. When editing an XML file with reference systems, the ability to copy a selected set of reference systems from another XML file has been added. This change significantly speeds up the preparation of working lists of reference systems. The "Reference System Parameters from XML File" dialog ensures the configuration of permanent projections and datums in the "Map Passport" task and when setting projection parameters for rasters and matrices.

Added support for the coordinate system CGCS2000 Gauss-Kruger zones 13 through 23 (EPSG:4491 to EPSG:4501), used for the territory of China, has been added. The creation of maps, formation of multi-sheet maps with standard nomenclatures, and construction of nomenclature grids are ensured.

GIS "Operator" SE is a universal domestic geoinformation system for power structures. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, automated processing, and display of data, calculation and forecast results that have a geospatial reference. GIS "Operator" SE contains means for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with map of Kingdom of Tonga, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map has been converted to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale maps at 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Updates are published to the Spatial Data Bank using the Digital Map and Remote Sensing Data Bank program. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

KB "Panorama" has developed the Aeronautical Information Documentation Preparation Kit version 8.6 for the "Astra Linux Special Edition", "RED OS", "Alt Linux" operating systems and MS Windows under the control of the GIS "Panorama". The new version adds the capability for collaborative viewing, editing, and updating of aeronautical spatial data using the GIS Server.

The GIS Server provides remote access to aeronautical charts, remote sensing data, and spatial databases. Storing data on the server protects it from illegal viewing, copying, modification, and printing. The GIS Server supports multi-level interconnection for distributed storage and processing of spatial data with automatic replication and backup.

Maps created on the GIS Server can be remotely viewed on mobile devices running Aurora OS or Android OS in GIS "Panorama Mobile" or in applications developed using the GIS Constructor for Aurora OS and GIS Constructor for Android. Aeronautical charts from the GIS Server can be saved on mobile devices for offline work.

The Aeronautical Information Documentation Preparation Kit is a set of tools for maintaining an aeronautical database, modeling and analyzing the aeronautical situation, generating aeronautical charts, and exchanging data with other information systems through import/export in the ARINC 424-19 exchange format and export in the AIXM 5.1 format. The "Flight Procedure Design" task is used for designing departure, approach, and landing routes and analyzing their flight safety. The "Assessment of Aerodrome Compliance with FAP Requirements" task is designed for analyzing the aerodrome and its adjacent territory for suitability for operation and aircraft flights according to the Federal Aviation Rules.

The new version of the program, examples of aeronautical information documents, operational documentation, video tutorials and presentations are available for download on the Download page.

KB "Panorama" has completed organizational and technical measures for the assessment of its Quality Management System (QMS) by the authorized QMS certification body SOYUZSERT LLC, accredited in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 546 of April 30, 2019, in the defense-industrial complex sphere. As a result, a Conformity Certificate for the Quality Management System No. OA OPK.RU.130019SMK0104 dated 10.10.2025 was obtained, confirming compliance with the requirements of GOST R ISO 9001-2015, GOST RV 0015-002-2020, as well as other state military standards SRPP VT.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS Constructor version 1.5 for the domestic Aurora mobile OS. The new version enables visualization of information in GeoPackage, Mbtiles, and BIR formats, obtained from both remote services and local sources. Data display functions at any level of the tile pyramid detail, even if information for some levels is initially missing. Only one available scale is required to build a map – based on it, the application automatically generates reduced copies or applies digital image zoom. Smoothing algorithms are used in the process, enhancing clarity and visualization quality. All generated images are cached, significantly speeding up their subsequent loading when the same data is accessed again. Support for vector data in the GeoPackage (GPKG) format has been implemented. This format combines the capabilities for storing vector data, metadata, and attribute information in a single SQLite database file.

Interaction with external geoportals has been improved. The capability to connect to WMTS services using the common tile addressing format has been implemented, simplifying integration with cartographic sources from third-party systems. The data exchange algorithm with external portals has been optimized for unstable connections. Now, if the requested information is temporarily unavailable on the service, the connection remains active. Corresponding records of erroneous network requests are added to the diagnostic log. In case of a connection loss (e.g., due to a weak communication channel), reconnection attempts occur after an interval specified in the configuration file of the GIS core libraries. This ensures a balance between application fault tolerance and avoiding excessive network requests to geoportals.

The company's specialists have updated the digital classifiers for creating aeronautical charts, dfc.rscz and dfc_en.rscz. The new edition introduces significant changes to improve the detail and accuracy of aeronautical data. Steps have been completed to update the airspace structure, including Air Traffic Services (ATS), airspace restrictions, ATS routes, reporting points, and radio navigation aids. Within them, the symbols of the "Obstacles" layer have been aligned with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); new objects have been added to the "Aerodrome Network" and "Reporting Points and Radio Navigation Aids" layers. Furthermore, attribute characteristics for objects in the "Routes" layer have been expanded. These changes ensure an up-to-date representation of the airspace structure, air traffic services, aerodrome network, and obstacles. The GIS supports work with various types of digital classifiers, which define the organization and presentation of spatial data. In addition to aeronautical ones, the application provides classifiers for nautical charts (s57navy.rscz) and other specialized symbol sets. The classifiers contain a complete description of map layers, objects, their properties, and display rules, defining the appearance of various objects on screen and in print. Current versions of the symbol sets are available for download in the "Classifiers" section.

GIS Constructor for the domestic Aurora mobile OS is a set of geoinformation components based on the cross-platform MAPAPI interface for working with spatial data and the Qt framework, allowing for the development of custom GIS applications for mobile devices running Aurora OS. The content of digital maps is visualized using symbols adopted for topographic, general geographic, and various special maps. The geoinformation system offers extensive capabilities for performing calculations and displaying spatial data on various graphic devices using standard and custom symbol systems. Core functions can operate in multithreaded mode. Automatic optimization of used RAM is supported for processing large data volumes (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).
