ESRI Canada is a leading supplier of geographic information system (GIS) technology to the Canadian defence and intelligence community. ESRI's GIS is the common, open, and interoperable technology that underpins the spatial infrastructure of the defence community. Key defence application areas which benefit from the power of GIS are: Military Operations, Geospatial Intelligence, and Installations and Environment. Additional defence applications of GIS include areas such as defence health care, modeling and simulation, and logistics, to name a few.
GIS Solutions for:
- Military operations
- Geospatial intelligence
- Installation and environment
- Enterprise GIS for Defence
Military operations
The command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) domain supports timelier and better decisions by using a variety of tools to analyze, assess, and plan actions. GIS supports C4I capabilities by providing decision makers, commanders, and warfighters with a distributed, scalable decision support environment.
GIS technology is critical for sharing, processing, modeling, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial information and metadata across defence networks. ESRI software is used to perform many tasks, such as intelligence preparation of the battlefield, terrain analysis, mission planning, and other defence related analyses, using the same geospatial data stored in a geodatabase.
Geospatial intelligence
Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) represents the complete integration of a nation's imagery and geospatial capabilities in support of defence and intelligence needs. It is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, access, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the earth. ESRI's GIS architecture enables GEOINT exploitation and analysis with a scalable family of products for desktop, server, Internet, and mobile platforms. It supports better and faster decision making in a wide variety of national security mission applications.
Installation and environment
GIS plays a significant role in defence infrastructure and environment management. It is engineered to integrate with other enterprise IT capabilities. This ensures that decision support tools integrate all relevant information resulting in timely and effective decisions. ESRI's open and interoperable GIS allows users to capture, manage, disseminate, analyze, and visualize geospatial information, all the key factors in efficient installation management and operations.
