Enhancing ArcGIS Analysis: Satellites, Sensors & Communication Systems
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Marc Simmons, Todd Smith

Integrating temporal geospatial data into an enterprise Esri environment is critical for the military, disaster management, intelligence, defense, and homeland security communities. Extending the ArcGIS environment to include data that analyzes and models relationships of dynamic systems (satellites, land/air/marine vehicles, sensors, and communications or radar systems), which is then seamlessly integrated within the Esri GeoDatabase structure.

This session will demonstrate via use cases the following enhanced analysis:

  • Create temporal geospatial data into ArcGIS, such as satellite ground tracks, sensor footprints, and intervisibility analysis.

  • Read and write the geometry of the temporal objects into an Esri GeoDatabase

  • Query the temporal objects against any other features the user has in the map document

  • Animate ArcGIS to view temporal data at specific time

  • Support for net-centric operations and service-oriented architectures through an open application program interface (API)

  • Integration with existing enterprise architectures by delivering technology components in any of the following forms; ArcXML, WMS/WFS, XML Web services or HTML
