Abstract

Using the PLTS Nautical Solution for Charting Excellence
Track: Charting and Data Collecting
Authors: Greg Dreaper

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for developing, publishing, and maintaining electronic and paper navigation charts for 8,500 nautical miles of navigable waterways. Currently USACE is using various software and workflows such as CAD-based solutions and an enterprise GIS to maintain data for chart production. For this effort, USACE will be implementing Esri's Production Line Tool Set (PLTS) Nautical Solution to bundle the workflows into one consistent system for streamlined production of both paper and inland electronic navigation charts. USACE will partner with Esri to continue the development of its PLTS Nautical Solution to ensure that the solution extends its charting capabilities to both coastal and inland waterways.
