Paper
Geoinformation Service for the CWID 2006
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Mirko Zibuschka, Timm Ohlhof

The Bundeswehr Geoinformation Service contributes to the NATO CWID (Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration) conducted during June 2006 in Lillehammer, Norway, with the interoperability trial "Geoinformation Service," which is also an important step toward a permanent and online provision of geospatial data and services for German and multinational C3I, mission planning and weapon systems.



Aims of the project are the generation of a Recognised Environmental Picture (REP) and the information transfer to selected users within the operational context of the CWID scenario. These tasks are carried out in three steps. In the first step, all relevant geospatial, meteorological and oceanographic data is transferred from an open to a classified network. After that, the data are collected, analysed and stored. Finally, the REP is created and published as a Web service based on OGC's WMS and WFS. For the project, Esri's enterprise solution is used based on Oracle Spatial, ArcSDE and ArcIMS.
