ArcGIS for the Military – Maritime Operations An Open Geospatial Platform to Answer Operational Questions
Operational Mission
Where are submarines likely to operate? How best to predict minefields? Where are likely areas for Search And Rescue? Where are the radioactive plume predictions? Where are disease outbreaks occurring? Where are pirates likely to operate? What is the optimal route for a Strike mission?
Spatial Visualization Analysis
Information
Mission Apps
How best to station maritime interdiction assets?
Where to optimally station ships for group defense? What do the Freedom of Navigation artifacts predict?
How best to correlate surface tracks from multiple data sources? Identify the best beach for over-the-shore movement? Best expeditionary airfield? Identify the best helo landing zone? Where are missile launchers likely to be?
Putting an Open Geospatial Platform to work A Foundation for Navy Command and Control
