Abstract
IRRIS: Transportation Security and Infrastructure Management Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Paul Allred Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) and GeoDecisions have developed IRRIS technology. IRRIS uses advanced information technology, GIS and location-based services to enable military users to be more proactive in coordinating and managing assets through an interactive mapping interface. IRRIS was developed using ArcIMS, ArcSDE and Oracle. IRRIS provides the military and Department of Defense (DoD) with greatly improved logistics situational awareness worldwide. It provides a dynamic, integrated tool for real-time tracking of DoD assets, especially effective for monitoring sensitive shipments and responding to unexpected events. Since 2001, IRRIS saved U.S. taxpayers about $40 million and allows SDDCTEA to track 750,000 shipments worldwide on an annual basis. The application has also been used extensively in the war in Iraq and to coordinate military logistics during the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster recovery efforts.
