Defence Geospatial Intelligence Event To Address Key Industry Issues – GIS Strategies, C4ISR, HTA and more
8/26/2010 5:53 AM EST
Every event happens in space and time, which means it needs to be put on a map to be recorded. This is what is driving the rapid adoption of GIS in all parts of the defence community.
According to a recent study, geospatial information and intelligence is rapidly becoming the operational basis of every part of defence organisations. Soldiers in-theatre, generals in command and control, researchers and analysts in the HQ all need to look at the same map to make effective and joined up decisions.
Every event happens in space and time, which means it needs to be put on a map to be recorded. This is what is driving the rapid adoption of GIS in all parts of the defence community.
Over 45 MoDs across the world have named GIS as their top priority and are currently looking for solutions and integration tools, to give their users effective geospatial intelligence and capability support. Military and Defence Geospatial Intelligence strategies across entire organisations will be a key focus at Defence Geospatial Intelligence (DGI) 2011
This year, the conference advisory board has decided to theme the conference into 6 key themes:
1. GIS Strategy – You will hear presentations from heads of Geo in different MoDs across the world. They will be focusing on the strategic role of geospatial intelligence in defence operations, giving real life examples of how GIS is vital to the success of any campaign.
2. GIS Support In-Theatre – Officers who have just returned from Afghanistan and other key locations will be showing you how they used geo capability, what support it gave them and what results they achieved in-theatre. It is not just the commanding general who needs geospatial information, it is every single soldier on the ground!
3. Geospatial Architecture – Most defence IT and systems will soon be based on a map and fully integrated with all available geo capabilities. Given the importance of integrated networks, DGI is dedicating over 10 hours to case studies, presentations, debate, interoperability and integration of GIS capabilities into the overall architecture.
4. Geospatial Intelligence in C4ISR – There will be several case study presentations from different European and North American nations, talking about their experience of implementing a truly integrated GIS strategy in their C4ISR system.
5. Human Terrain Analysis – Most MODs are rapidly developing their HTA strategy, making it a key part of their GIS capability. DGI is dedicating an entire day of case study presentations, debates, panel discussions and new solutions to HTA.
6. Geospatial Solutions and Technologies Expo – Designed to bring you not only the best solutions for your geospatial strategy, but to show you the latest new ideas, concepts and capabilities, which are currently being developed and tested.
