Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Michael Thomas, Melinda Higgins, Nick Faust, Lt Col Billy Asbell

During the past several years, the National Guard Bureau Counterdrug Office (NGB-CD), through its Technology Programs, has implemented an innovative blend of GIS, digital mapping, enhanced visualization, virtual reality, electro-optics, sensor fusion, modeling and simulation, data acquisition, and other operational assessment technologies. These programs support and incorporate NGB-CD assets such as the Digital Mapping Center (DMC), aerial reconnaissance platforms, law enforcement training centers, and nationwide counterdrug task forces. This presentation will provide an overview of the many National Guard GIS technology programs in operation and the extensive collaborative environment they support.
