Overview

GIS technology creates an integrated platform for military planners, intelligence analysts, and decision makers to gain spatial understanding of operational and tactical situations. Data from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance is integrated to create geodatabases that can be used to analyze the spatial context and relationships between sensors and other battlespace entities and actions.
