Why does defence need geospatial standards?

� Geospatial standards are critical to defence effectiveness

� Interoperability – data sharing

� Effective delivery – to preserve integrity of data

� Timely delivery – some ops may be time dependant

� Through-life cost – bespoke systems may be unsustainable

� Driven by policy – JSP 465 / DEFSTAN 00-102

Summary

� Defence geospatial standards have to be inward and outward looking – from defence specific, through national, international and civilian standards best practice – in order to serve UK defence at home and abroad, now and into the future, at minimum cost to the taxpayer.
