Key Features

Data Models

Esri Defense Mapping includes many geodatabase models specific to the defense industry:

• Image City Maps (ICMs)
• Vector Map (VMap) Level 2 1:50,000-scale Topographic Line Map (TLM) cartographic products
• (VMap) Level 1 data and 1:250,000-scale Joint Operations Graphic–Air (JOG–A) cartographic products

• Foundation Feature Data (FFD)

• Vector Interim Terrain Data (VITD)

Data Production

• Schema creation and management—Create data repositories with automated tools and defense data model templates that support numerous data model specifications and model versions.
• Legacy data loading and migration—Use automated tools and templates for common data migrations to support the planning, testing, and execution of data loading operations into and between various data model specifications.
• Feature extraction—Leverage specification-driven geometry and attribution tools to implement in-process quality assurance in the production environment and reject the creation of noncompliant data.
• Cartographic finishing and product generation—Produce defense-specific map and data products quickly through a suite of database-driven production and cartographic finishing tools.

Data Management

• Streamlined data replication—Automatically synchronize changes between sites, teams, or external data partners and cooperators using replication tools.
• Data quality and compliance testing—Assess the quality and fitness of data products using both commercial off-the-shelf and integrated government off-the-shelf quality control tools to ensure compliance with published data model specifications.

Workflow Management

• Workflow and resource management—Automate workflows, conduct resource leveling, and track work execution to improve efficiencies and ensure repeatability of data management activities.
• Integration of tasks—Capture, distribute, and automate best practices and procedures among data production staff to enhance efficiency and quality across the organization.
