2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Anti-Terrorism Planning Using ArcGIS Track: Homeland Security Author(s): Dale Dunham, Nikki Nunnally Efficient planning for Force Protection will become critical as the DOD struggles with shifting budgets between Military Operations and Force Protection. Two GIS-based tools that aid this planning process will be presented. SafeSite, a surveillance planning tool, evaluates patrol routes, camera positions, and unattended ground sensors by analyzing visibility footprints. Users see what the sensors see and can lay out the most effective configuration. The Anti-Terrorist Force Protection tool is designed for security planners to interactively locate access control points, reaction forces, and command centers under each Force Protection Condition. These tools allow Security to efficiently plan Force Protection. Dale Dunham Geographic Information Services, Inc.
