USCG MISLE Web-Based GIS Application
Track: Homeland Security
Author(s): Joseph Buckles

The Coast Guard has a need to use GIS technologies to serve as a dynamic visualization tool to display the location of search and rescue cases, oil spills, aids to navigation information, demographics data, readiness data, etc. to better aid CG decision makers and improve information services to the public. The Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) GIS application is an attempt at satisfying this need. MISLE GIS is a full featured web deployed application. It features a Clustered SDE Database on the back, ArcIMS and Web Service middle tier, and a thin rich client on the front end. This client is an ActiveX Control that runs inside Internet Explorer and emulates a desk top GIS application. This application displays base maps and charts, Coast Guard specific information on Facilities and waterways, as well as dynamic data relating to CG Cases and Activities.
