Enhancing Strategic Vision: Data requirement developments within Defense IGI&S communities

—Mitchell Fiedler, DISDI

Serving as geospatial oversight to Defense IGI&S Programs, the Defense Installation Spatial Data Initiative (DISDI) Group continues to define data and services that support Defense Business Mission priorities. With a goal to develop geospatial data for all DoD land, buildings and other structures, aligning geospatial location data with Real Property records is key. Another important goal is to share this data within the I&E and Homeland Defense missions. By leveraging new data requirements, standards and geospatial service technologies, strategic visualization capabilities have been enhanced to better support the needs of defense and national decision makers.
