Two Types of GISTwo 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

The future of urban operations, adding intelligence to data

High resolution imagery providesan important spatial foundation for geospatial operations.

The addition of feature and attributedata 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.

Conclusions

• GI&S 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.
