1 GIS as a Foundation for Command & Control Tom Smedley Milquiades Walther-Rodriguez

2 Agenda Trends in Command and Control & GIS What is Web GIS Use Cases GIS Platform Approach to Command and Control

3 Trends in GIS and Command & Control

4 Characteristics and Trends in C2 Applications Modernizing Command & Control Distributed Services Networks Identity Security Real-Time Connected/Disconnected Bandwidth Time-Sensitive Multi-National Deployments Client / Server Stovepiped Systems Unconsolidated Infrastructure Physical Servers Information Overload Proprietary Data Reactive Analysis One Size Fits All Applications Complex User Interfaces Long Development Cycles Risk Averse Web Services / SOA Seamlessly Integrated Systems Cloud and Elastic Computing Virtualization and Data Centers Relevant Pictures Open Data & Shared Services Predictive Analysis Lightweight Reusable Apps Intuitive User Experiences Short Iterations Risk Aware

5 Capability GIS & C4ISR Operations An Evolution of Technologies- File-based RDBMS based SOA based Web Based Single user Multi-user / Department Installation wide / Enterprise Multi-National / Infrastructure

6 Web GIS

7 Web GIS is a Transformational Architecture Opening, Integrating, and Simplifying Everything Desktop Apps Bringing Together Your Existing Systems... and Creating a System of Engagement Server Web Maps Web Scenes Layers

8 Web GIS Supports Multiple Missions Integrating Organizations and People Intelligence Planning Sustainment Command Field Operations Operational Environment Enabling Sharing, Collaboration, and Decisive Action

9 What Can the ArcGIS Platform bring to Command & Control? Integrate and exploit existing investments in data and infrastructure Monitor the situation through real-time tracking, routing & communications Incorporate real-time data from many sensors Maintain & share the Common Operational Picture Portal Gather, Fuse, Analyze & Share Intelligence Manage the data Formulate & Disseminate Plans Manage deployed Forces Collect Analyse Share Act

10 Initial Operating Capability through Lightweight, Reusable Apps Delivering essential capabilities right away Common Operational Picture: Operations Dashboard Briefing tools: Story Maps Mobile Apps: Collector, Navigator, AppStudio Web Apps: Web AppBuider, App Templates Portal Collaboration environment, Content Management system Real-time sensor inputs: e.g. CCTV, Drones/Video, AVLS, Weather Dynamic Overlays Data Management System Basemaps Data from other systems

11 Use Cases

14 A GIS Platform Approach to Command & Control

15 Web GIS Can Represent All Data Types As Web Maps and Services Enterprise Data Social Media Services Imagery Web Map Sensor Networks Maps Big Data Full Motion Video / WAMI Providing a New Medium for GIS

16 Web Maps Integrate Information / Configure / Share Source Information Apps User Needs Desktop Spreadsheet Web Map Dashboards Current Operations Databases CSV Field Operations Mobile Apps Sensor & Real- Time Data 3D Data Planning and Analysis Web Apps Basemaps Analytical Services Briefings and Public Information

17 Web Maps Air Plan Current Operations

18 Processing Real-Tie Data Feeds at Machine Sped From Raw Data to Actionable Information through Reporting by Exception Sensor Monitoring Vehicle/Platform Tracking AIS Vessel Tracks Alert when values exceed min. or max. thresholds Aircrafts in severe weather At risk Filtered by position and attribute e.g. slow boats that could be boarded by pirates

19 Applying Real-Time Analytics GeoEvent Filtering A Filter eliminates GeoEvents based on an expression = = = =

20 Real Time Analysis Maritime Events (Big Data) Air Tracks

21 Thinking Geospatially The Language of Spatial Analysis Understanding WHERE are my forces and my SIGACTS? Measuring What are the main characteristics of my operating environment? Determining What are the likely enemy egress routes from a given location? Finding How should I place my sensors allowing for optimal coverage? Detecting What are the impacts of my operations on the distribution of SIGACTs? Making predictions on Where are likely choke points that may impact my ability to maneuver? Understanding how we map our world

22 The Language of Spatial Analysis

23 Submarine Operations Suitablility Where are the high probability areas for DPRK submarine operations? Complex queries and speed models Predictions based on multiple sets of data

24 Resuable, Configurable Apps Take advantage of COTS Story Maps Templates Explorer Dashboard Collector Maps for Office Web Scene Viewer Open Data GeoPlanner Crowdsourcing

25 App Builders App Templates Story Maps 1 2 AppStudio 4 3 Web AppBuilder
