Installations and Environment

GIS provides a critical infrastructure for installation management. The ArcGIS platform provides a framework to support business decisions at every level of command, and GIS software integrates seamlessly into the flow of daily business activities. The open, interoperable ArcGIS platform allows you to capture, manage, disseminate, analyze, and visualize geospatial information, all the key factors in efficient installation management and operations.

GIS for Base Closure and UXO Cleanup

The ArcGIS Platform Supports

  • Base and facilities management-ArcGIS provides flexible technology to balance the management of real property, assets, and facilities with resources and mission requirements.

  • Training area and range management-GIS provides range managers with decision support technology to manage increasingly complex weapons systems and environmental and safety concerns.

  • Environmental security-GIS enables environmental managers to overlay many types of geographic and environmental data to create models and strategies that assist in complying with environmental and cultural resource management regulations.

  • Force protection and security-Security managers must optimize the use of force protection resources against mission requirements. GIS provides the security management team with a common installation picture and the geospatial tools for effective decision support.

  • UXO-Unexploded ordnance poses a unique, spatially dis- tributed environmental management and remediation issue for many defense sites. The suite of tools available in ArcGIS supports the UXO mission to identify, track, analyze, manage, and remediate UXOs.
