USTRANSCOM uses IRRIS GIS for web-based Node Management (NoMaDD) Visibility. In promoting Customer Service Vision (CSV) going beyond transportation solutions, the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), a provider of full spectrum global logistics solutions uses IRRIS GIS to present web-based nodal visibility of critical sustainment supplies to the warfighter. USTRANSCOM chose IRRIS GIS, an existing capability, because it could be expanded to quickly display web-based geospatial supply node management data. IRRIS GIS, which utilizes a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) baseline, is an existing geospatial web solution that is a united system within the GCSS-J Family of Systems. USTRANSCOM considered other DoD command and control systems with an interest in web-enabling their thick-client capabilities. However, IRRIS GIS was chosen to satisfy the NoMaDD requirement and converge with GCSS-J in a timelier and more cost-effective manner than pursuing other web-GIS solutions. This demonstration will showcase the capabilities that NoMaDD provides in enabling users at USTRANSCOM to support multimodal, multi-nodal, factory-to-foxhole tracking of mission essential cargo through an intuitive Web-based interface. IRRIS GIS took the additional steps of standardizing the visual experience with 2525c military map symbols and Operational Navigational Chart backdrops from the National Geospatial Agency for a familiar tactical look. IRRIS GIS integrated data from five disparate government Logistics systems providing a one stop shop, tying the necessary pieces together.
