TOPOGRAPHICAL, IMAGE INTEL & SPACE
Abstract
This project investigates and advances capabilities for collection, processing, and creation of data and information depicting physical and human terrain, environmental conditions, and relationships in time and space; for digital map creation, transmission, and dissemination; and for map-based analytics for planning, decision making and execution. This project uses non-traditional methods that exploit existing open source text, multi-media and cartographic materials addressing social, cultural and economic geography to advance the capability to produce and transmit high fidelity digital maps depicting the physical terrain, human terrain and environmental conditions. This project also develops software tools and methods for map-based analytics that allow deeper insights into the effects of the physical terrain, human terrain and environmental conditions on military operations, to include tactics and effects upon equipment and Soldier's performance. The Army is defining and implementing the Army Geospatial Enterprise (AGE). The AGE provides map and geospatial data, information and software services seamlessly to the total force. This project explores and advances components and methods that optimize the utility of the AGE to the total Army. Work in this project supports the Army S&T Command, Control, Communications (C3) Portfolio. Work in this project complements efforts in PE 0602784A, Project H71. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. The work in this project is performed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
