Abstract

Next Generation Web Services within Air Combat Command
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Mike Cannon

The ACC GeoBase program enables 16 different ACC bases as well as hundreds of expeditionary locations (CENTAF & AFSOUTH) around the world to share geospatial data and information with the USAF and the DOD through a secure, centralized system. This environment offers a single, secure, and organized access point for the user by leveraging web services and service oriented architecture (SOA) within a portal environment (GCSS-AF Portal). There are many challenges related to designing and implementing a system of this magnitude: network issues, very large web map services, functionality requirements, etc. This discussion describes the old and new web architectures, the challenges and solutions, and how web services for the users have improved.'
