Overview

GIS for the Defense and Intelligence Communities

GIS technology is a critical part of the information technology infrastructure for defense and intelligence. It integrates data from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to create spatially aware databases (geodatabases) across multiple networks.

Spatial context and relationships between sensors and other battlespace entities and actions are maintained within these geodatabases, providing an integrated platform for military planners, intelligence analysts, and decision makers to better understand common operational and tactical situations.
