Abstract
IRRIS, a Logistics Tool Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Jonathan Pollack, Paul Allred Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) and GeoDecisions have developed IRRIS technology. Critical goals of this tool are: . Provide a common interface into a system that provides a "one stop shop" to information. . Provide real-time information. . Integrate all information into one common operating picture. . Be flexible to handle the latest technological advancements. . Be scalable to handle small local issues as well as significant regional and national events. IRRIS uses advanced information technology, GIS and location-based services to enable military users to be more proactive in coordinating and managing assets through an interactive mapping interface. IRRIS was developed using ArcIMS, ArcSDE and Oracle. The geographic (locational) nature of the logistics information facilitates the use of GIS mapping to visualize assets and perform analysis (e.g., plume, buffer, route adherence, georeferencing, automated alerts and notifications) and spatial queries. IRRIS has allowed SDDC (www.sddc.army.mil) to streamline military logistics, reducing the time and costs for military training and operations.
