Abstract
Enhanced Situational Awareness for Homeland Security Track: Homeland Security/Homeland Defense Author(s): David Bissett, Wayne Hall Homeland security functions have direct analogies with military functions abroad. Natural disasters and terrorist attacks require search and rescue efforts, damage assessments, as well as intelligence preparation of the streets or the provinces abroad. The integration of GIS software technologies can provide enhanced situational awareness and analysis capabilities for homeland security, defense, and emergency response applications. By leveraging and integrating core functions, an integrated application can provide, receive, layer, fuse, and display pertinent data to assist in emergency response, border protection/security, and maritime monitoring/interception operations. These functions provide utility for homeland security such as real-time tracking of assets for response operations, fusion of asset tracking with spatially enabled databases like a geodatabase, assessment of sensor performance for situational awareness along border crossings, and incorporation of air and space assets for end-to-end geodynamic situational awareness. This presentation will examine the application of GIS software technologies and use for enhanced homeland security.
