  1. 13 July 11 Using ArcGIS for Military Planning and Operations Derek Foll and Lorraine Funkhouser Esri Defense and Intelligence Team

  2. Goals of the workshop • Enterprise system for military planning and operations • Basemap and operational layers to communicate plans • ArcGIS supports situation awareness • Share maps with web and mobile clients • ArcGIS.com resources • Recommendations and best practices

  3. The ArcGIS System Easier More Powerful and Everywhere Cloud • Discover • Create • Manage • Visualize • Analyze • Collaborate Web Enterprise Mobile Local Desktop

  4. Key Aspects of a GIS • Layer based model for describing the world • Feature Classes • Raster Datasets • Attributes and descriptive information • A GIS uses maps to visualize and work with geographic information • A GIS has a comprehensive set of analytic tools to perform spatial analysis and data processing

  5. Maps in a GIS • Maps are how you • Compile information • Find patterns • Derive new information using analysis • Communicate plans and ideas • Get status reports

  6. Map layers • Basemaps • Terrain • Imagery • Operational Layers • Targets • Facilities • Units/equipment positions • Reporting

  7. To communicate plans and new ideas • Maps are used to create and share plans • Friendly or Enemy Course of Action Sketches • Target Packages • Daily Briefs • GIS maps are used to communicate plans • Features for sketching plans/ideas • Presentation layouts/slides for explaining concepts • Useful animation for showing timelines

  8. To get status reports • Maps are used to receive and display status reports • Current location of units/equipment • Current status of sensors • Reports/observations by deployed personnel • GIS maps for status reports include • Tools to input reports • Layers for showing current reports • Status reports are frequently viewed using custom applications or devices

  9. Sharing Maps • GIS analysts share information with each other • Packages encapsulate all aspects of a GIS • Symbology • Tools • Data • GIS analysts share GIS with everyone • Services shared across the web and mobile devices through web maps and apps • Web maps define the layers/popups for the services • Apps bring the map to life in browsers and devices

  10. Resource Center • Defense and Intelligence User Community • Blogs • Help • Forum • Videos • Ideas • Template Galleries
