DD & Associates (DD&A ) is an affiliate of TRILOGY Spacetech Inc. (TSI ), founded in Ontario, Canada in early 1990 by a group of engineering post-graduates from the University of New Brunswick (Canada) and the Ohio State University (USA). As an extension of TSI's activities in Europe and a complement to TSI's efforts to gain access to the European Union-wide markets, DD&A was formed in 1993, in Athens, Greece, by assembling a dynamic group of associates experienced in providing state-of-the-art engineering support in the use of space technology for Earth applications particularly in the areas of Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology Applications Applications of Remote Sensing Technology for Ocean and Land Use General Support in Space Sciences and Geomatics Engineering Applications The resources of DD&A are an effective blend of: Scientific research skills in the areas of Satellite Positioning and Navigation Systems, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing of the land and oceans, Geodetic and Geophysical applications, and Visualization and Information Management Systems. Specialized engineering expertise in research,conseptualization,design, development, implementation and support services for the application of advanced and enabling satellite technologies. Large variety of in-house developed and commercial state-of-the-art software suites in the fields of engineering, planning and project management, mapping and database implementation and all necessary modern hardwarerelevant to these activities, including the latest acquisition of three GPS geodetic receivers. Pragmatic, client focused, comprehensive and responsive technical services and support that best complement DD&A's clients in-house resources and capabilities. These elements are the foundation of DD&A's mission to: Provide feasibility analysis and advanced design of top-level GPS- and Earth Observation Satellite-based products; Apply emerging technologies toward the development and delivery of these products; and Provide Engineering solutions and end-to-end services for a number of Earth Science related industries and applications, such as surveys and mapping, land use monitoring, land information and management, precise positioning, and satellite remote sensing.
