Operations

ArcGIS for OPINTEL gives you the readiness to deploy personnel and assets in dynamic situations. For example, it helps answer questions like, How do we synthesize large amounts of data needed for a unified picture from top to bottom? What resources are available near the location of the incident? Which resources can be deployed rapidly, and how best can they communicate and coordinate with security operations?
