Abstract
NATO HeadQuarters--Situation Center GIS experience Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Giuseppe Nobile, Virginia Estevez, Stergios Pinakas Recently, the dynamic capability of responding to a major world crisis with comprehensive in-depth information has become a crucial aspect of all large organizations. The demand from high-level players for a more complete tool that would fuse various attributes associated with the same event requires the production of an effective result in a timely fashion. The presentation will illustrate how geospatial information can be combined with the standing NATO Headquarters Situation Centre (SITCEN) services to provide a Web-based environment to monitor global political and military scenarios. This technology will be able to pull or push information and present it with a geographic framework. The GIS, together with the hardened geo Web services can significantly enhance the current methods and practises to guarantee a globally integrated solution that supports key decision makers, task forces, and exercises at a grand strategic-level organization.
