Abstract
 Joint Geospatial Enterprise Services - Research Program Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Michael Coley Today's geospatial information systems are standalone capabilities, and existing C4ISR systems contain very limited geospatial capabilities that are disconnected from emerging net-centric geospatial technologies and geospatial databases. Future battle command and ISR services (i.e., Future Combat System, Distributed Common Ground System-Army) require timely, relevant, and accurate terrain situational awareness. A Joint-Geospatial Enterprise Service capability is required to enable a dynamic, tailorable Common Operational Picture, Situation Awareness, and decision aids. The JGES-APP will establish an initial J-GES architecture to enable critical development of geospatial services and provide an early transition of emerging technologies and net-centric C4ISR geospatial services; partner with industry to enhance commercial GIS technology to support complex J-GES needs; and collaborate with emerging Joint network architectures and C4ISR services (including emerging Army tactical C4ISR net-centric architectures [e.g., NCES, DCGS-A]). This paper will discuss the JGES-APP requirements and how Esri technology is being leveraged to meet these requirements.
