Abstract
Distributing GIS to the Coast Guard: An Enterprise Solution Track: Application Development Author(s): Mike Lakey Providing GIS data, services, and functionality to United States Coast Guard personnel is critical in supporting the various missions of the Coast Guard. Designing, deploying, and distributing a GIS solution capable of supporting these missions presented the Coast Guard with unique challenges and required creative solutions. This presentation will discuss how the Coast Guard Enterprise GIS Team met this challenge by developing a Web-enabled thin client with the capability to display and manipulate data from many Coast Guard applications and services. Advanced geoprocessing tools and extensive GIS data warehouse developed by the team enabled a wide variety of users to leverage GIS for their planning, analysis and response needs.
