GIS-Enabled Modeling and Simulation (GEMS) (GIS = Geospatial Information Systems)
Abstract
Current C4ISR* and simulation systems use a variety of tools and formats for generating and storing geospatial information. C4ISR systems tend to use GIS for geospatial information, while simulation systems use proprietary terrain database formats that are generated from a number of different tools. This leads to problems in the sharing of geospatial information between systems, making mission planning or embedded training difficult, as well as problems maintaining geospatial information as it is updated. GEMS provides a common geospatial database that can be generated with a single set of tools and shared across applications, thereby allowing a higher integration of diverse military systems. *C4ISR=Command, Control, Commuications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaisance.
