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; digital map creation, transmission, and dissemination; and 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 performance. This Project explores and advances components and methods that optimize the utility of the Army Geospatial Enterprise (AGE) to the total Army, which provides map and geospatial data, information, and software services to the total force. All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. The work cited is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, Mississippi.
