INTRODUCTION AIM MILITARY APPLICATION APPLICATION OF GIS IN EME CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION Imporatance of GIS in present day warfare GIS role in gaining of data, filtering and analysing of information Quick decision making
AIM Aim of this paper is to delve on the aspects how best Geo Int can be utilised for the Army as a whole and for the Corps of EME in specific
MILITARY APPLICATION Defence Estate Management Reduce base operation and maintenance costs Improve mission effectiveness Provide rapid modelling capabilities for analyzing alternative strategies Improve communication
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Terrain analysis Typicalities of the area of operations Its slope and elevation Manoeuvrability Vegetation cover Road network
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Digital Mapping Creating Maps of specific area of operations Evaluation of thematic information for analyzing real time scenario Command and control
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Positional Information Deployment of troops Alternate routes Camouflage and concealment Availability of natural cover Best possible line of sight/fire
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Logistics Management Sustenance for a longer duration Supplies Move of troops and equipments
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Weather Information Temperature Humidity Cloud coverage Visibility Wind conditions Possibility of rain
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Vehicle Tracking Intensification of terrorist activities Unconventional chemical and biological threats Tracking of Vehicles Control solution
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Air Operations Information required by pilots regarding weather condition, terrain, location of target, possible enemy threat Proximity of civilian areas Meteorological information for effective air strike
MILITARY APPLICATION(Contd..) Naval Operations Information regarding own position, possible enemy threat, depth of water below the vessel Natural features like currents, wave conditions, sea surface temperature, tides etc Electronic Navigation Chart (ENC) and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)
APPLICATION OF GIS IN EME Siting of EME Workshops Repair cover Assessment of casualty Engineering support resources Assessment of recovery plan Technical administration
APPLICATION OF GIS IN EME Storage of equipment Preventive maintenance Logistic management Camouflage and concealment Local defence Command and control
CONCLUSION Prerequisites for successful battlefield operations Use of remote sensing data
