Abstract
 Joint Geospatial Enterprise Services--Science and Technology Program Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Daniel Visone Today's C4ISR systems contain very limited geospatial capabilities that are disconnected from emerging netcentric geospatial technologies and databases. Future battle command and ISR services (i.e., Future Combat System, Distributed Common Ground System--Army) require timely, relevant, accurate terrain situational awareness. A Joint Geospatial Enterprise Service (JGES) capability is required to enable a dynamic, tailorable User-Defined Operational Picture, Situational Awareness, and decision aids. The JGES Science and Technology program is establishing a initial netcentric geospatial architecture to enable critical development of geospatial services and provide an early transition of emerging technologies and C4ISR netcentric services; partner with industry to enhance commercial GIS technology to support complex operational needs and gaps; and collaborate with joint network architectures and C4ISR services (including emerging Army tactical C4ISR netcentric architectures). This paper will discuss the JGES S&T Spiral 2 effort, JGES Spiral 3 and beyond experimentation, and how Esri technology is being leveraged to meet these requirements.
