United States Air Force Academy GeoBase Program
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Tim Beermann

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has been using GIS technologies for more than ten years. While the GIS program has seen many successes, the use of a file-based system led to several problems that were difficult to overcome. The Air Force GeoBase Initiative provided guidance in implementing an enterprise GIS that is geared toward meeting Air Force mission requirements. With this guidance in hand, the USAFA has started the process of replacing their file based system with an enterprise system to meet the needs of the entire installation.
