Two Types of GIS

• Standalone
• Stovepipe data
• Single discipline/business area
• Not networked
• Easy to get started
• Oversight -- limited
• Access Control Easy
• Limited impact on operation difficult to discern

• Enterprise
• Integrated data
• All business areas
• Networked
• Requires planning/coordination
• Oversight -- critical
• Access Control - complex
• Becomes a vital utility major impact on
  business processes

Data Problem Definition (1 of 3)
Mission Specific Data Level-5 (MSD-5) is
essential for information-based expeditionary
operations in urban environments, but very little
exists in the EUCOM AOR.

Data Problem Definition (2 of 3)
The future of urban operations, adding
intelligence to data
High resolution imagery provides an important
spatial foundation for geospatial operations.
The addition of feature and attribute data
provides the ability to perform essential
geospatial and intelligence analysis.
The addition of elevation data provides the
ability to perform More in-depth geospatial and
intelligence analysis.

Vision Drives Where were going

• GIS with Shared Data
• Authoritative data sources/catalog
• Capture and maintain data once. Eliminate
  redundancy
• Use available technology Web Services for
  decision and mission support

Conclusions

• GIS is working TGD efforts to optimize GIS tasks
  within the current and future USAREUR
  architecture in collaboration with G6.
• The data requirements are orders of magnitude
  beyond what we currently have today or have
  planned.
• Working to insure that TGD is a flexible,
  expandable architecture that can provide the
  beginnings of the data acquisition that is going
  to be demanded in the future.
