Key Aspects of a GIS
• A GIS uses a layer based model for describing the world
- Feature Classes - Raster Datasets - Attributes and descriptive information
• A GIS uses maps to visualize and work with Geographic information
• A GIS has a comprehensive set of analytic tools to perform spatial analysis and data processing
Maps in a GIS
• Maps are how you - Compile information - Find patterns - Derive new information using analysis - Communicate plans and ideas - Get status reports
Map layers
• Basemaps - Terrain - Imagery
• Operational Layers - Targets - Facilities - Units/equipment positions - Reporting
To communicate plans and new ideas
• Maps are used to create and share plans or assessments
- Friendly or Enemy Course of Action Sketches - Target Packages - Daily Briefs
• GIS maps for communicating plans include
- Features for sketching plans/ideas - Presentation layouts/slides for explaining concepts - Useful animation for showing timelines
To get status reports
• Maps are used to receive and display status reports - Current location of units/equipment - Current status of sensors - Reports/observations by deployed personnel
• GIS maps for status reports include
- Tools for inputting reports - Layers for showing current reports
• Status reports are frequently viewed on the web using custom applications
Sharing Maps
• GIS analysts share information with each other as packages
- Packages encapsulate all aspects of a GIS - Symbology - Tools - Data
• GIS analysts share GIS with everyone through
services - Shared across the web and mobile devices through web
maps and apps - Web maps define the layers/popups for the services - Apps bring the map to life in browsers and devices
Planning and Operations Templates
• Military Overlay editing - Neutral Operations - Unknown Operations - Friendly Operations - Hostile Operations - Stability Operations - METOC - Emergency Management
• Situational Awareness web application template - Monitoring current operations and reporting
• Patrol Data capture - Incorporate GPS data and patrol reports
Planning and Operations Templates
• Decision Support Template - Create SITEMP - Create Event Temp - Identify NAIs and TAIs
• Vehicle Commander
- In Vehicle Situational Awareness - Create reports - View intelligence/planning information - Linux and Windows
• Squad Leader - Dismounted Situational Awareness - Create Reports - View current situation - Android Devices

The Operations Process
PLAN
BATTLE COMMAND
Planning
• ArcGIS supports MDMP - Receipt of Mission - Mission analysis - COA develop
• Decision Support Template
PLAN
BATTLE COMMAND
Planning
Planning process
• Military Decision Making Process
Planning
• Create plans - Friendly course of action sketch - Enemy course of action sketch - Decision support template
• Share plans
• Communicate plans
Decision Support
• Identify how the enemy may act (ECOA) • Assessing the environment (MAoT) • Identifying enemy activity (NAI) • Identify areas to influence battle (TAI) • Wargaming (post-DST)
DST
• More about nai development • Slides about the challenges
- Ie … deconflicting the nai - Ie… numbering the nai
