Geospatial Engineering

Abstract

The geospatial engineering discipline is one of three engineering disciplines. It plays a major role in supporting the combat and general engineering disciplines. This discipline is essential to all lines of engineering support (assure mobility, enhance protection, enable force projection and logistics, and build partner capacity and develop infrastructure). Geospatial engineering is an art and a science that pertains to the generation, management, analysis, and dissemination of geospatial information that is accurately referenced to a precise location on the earth and is used in offense, defense, stability, or defense support of civil authorities tasks. These tasks provide mission-tailored data, tactical decision aids, and visualization products that enable the commander and staff to visualize the operational environment.
