Case Studies

• GIS in Defense Installation and Environmental Management
  These stories detailing defense installation and environment work were first published in the GIS in the Defense and Intelligence Community series. The stories are a recompiling of the articles in a focused I&E publication because they communicate a powerful evolution in GIS deployment.
  

• GIS in the Defense and Intelligence Communities-Volume 1
  GIS has emerged from its historic niche usage to become a key foundation for Network Centric Warfare, a cornerstone for effective base and facility management, and a powerful tool for multi-intelligence assessment. Snapshots of defense and intelligence efforts on behalf of our nation's security.
