NATO Peace Time Field Headquarters and GIS: A Kosovo Experience
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): John Teufert

The purpose of this presentation is to describe the interim GIS (IGIS) Cartographic Workshop (CWS) which is the current NATO standard for geo-analysis and map production. Depending on the scope of field theaters and commands a small CWS or a full CWS is currently used. During the presentation both hardware (server, workstations, network, peripherals) and software (GIS applications, graphics applications, etc.) will be covered. In addition problems and lessons learned from the KOSOVO Field HQs will be discussed. Furthermore an outlook will be provided on NATOs plans for future, service oriented, NATO-wide GIS solutions addressing NATO GIS interoperability and standardization issues.
