Defence
Getting the location right means everything to people like Andrew. Having access to accurate information to make the right decisions is essential in Defence, and is the key driver behind the emergence of GIS as a critical Defence-wide infrastructure.
ESRI Australia's location intelligence solutions, underpinned by the world-leading ESRI GIS technology, provide a common, open and interoperable infrastructure that is critical in today's security climate where war fighting, national security and force protection must interlock seamlessly. The result? Enhanced critical decision making, and increased awareness of dynamic situations - essential in Defence for both planning and operational environments.
From command and control, installation management, strategic intelligence, to supporting key missions, ESRI Australia's GIS solutions are helping Defence to become even more location intelligent.
Geospatial Intelligence Infrastructure (GEOINT)
Key benefits
GIS is a critical infrastructure for the geospatial intelligence community in manipulating and interpreting location intelligence as an information system. Key application areas include:
- Data and map production
- Data dissemination, discovery, and fusion
- Analysis and exploitation
- Workflow management
- Collaborative planning
- Suitability analysis
- Temporal analysis
Network-Centric Operations
Key benefits
As an enterprise information technology infrastructure, aligns well with the concepts of Network-Centric Operations (NCO) - using a network to connect decision making across multiple defence domains. NCO connects war fighting to strategic intelligence to installation management and is able to seamlessly integrate homeland defense with other internal security activities.
As a defence-wide infrastructure, GIS is simultaneously able to support warfighting missions such as command and control, business missions such as installation management, and strategic intelligence missions such as spatial data production. The re-use of location intelligence across a common spatial information infrastructure offers immediate cost savings in addition to important new capabilities.
Battlespace Awareness
Key benefits
GIS is a naturally integrating technology that merges data from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to create location intelligent databases (geodatabases) across multiple networks. Within the geodatabases, location contexts and relationships between sensors and other battlespace entities and actions are maintained, providing an integrated platform for decision makers and warfighters to better understand common operational and tactical situations.
