Utilizing C/JMTK to Build a Web-Based Common Operational Picture (WebCOP)
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Daniel Slavick

The Army/Joint WebCOP effort is being developed by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) under the Next Generation Command and Control System (NGCCS) Tactical Operations Center 3-D (TOC 3-D) program. CTC is classified as a Section 501(c)(3) Applied Research and Development company providing technology-based solutions to state and federal government and industry/academia. The WebCOP initiative integrates advanced GIS technologies, information management solutions and Internet technologies to create a Web-based solution for viewing the Common Operating Picture (COP). The WebCOP utilizes tools from the Commercial/Joint Mapping Toolkit (C/JMTK) including ArcIMS, ArcSDE, MapObjects Java Edition, and Military Overlay Editor (MOLE). The WebCOP will display a visual representation of unit positions and tactical graphics in a browser-based display linked to various Battlefield Functional Assets (BFAs). Providing the Army with an extensible WebCOP architecture based on Esri's proven GIS toolset supports the Army's architecture as well as the Joint WebCOP architecture.
