Abstract
Louisiana National Guard Unleashes the Power of ArcGIS Image Server
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Mike Liotta, David Ray
The Louisiana National Guard (LANG) developed a web GIS viewer that is capable of disseminating terabytes of imagery across the Internet quickly. Powered by Esri’s ArcGIS Server 9.3 and Image Server extension and built on the 9.3 web ADF, this application will help serve LANG through hurricane season and any emergency response that might arise.
LANG’s SAN houses the SDE database as well as the 4 terabytes of imagery that previously had not been available to Internet users. Map and imagery services were created to provide end user access to this data. This solution dramatically reduced the effort required to incorporate and disseminate new imagery data via the Internet, instantly freeing up the GIS staff to concentrate on other aspect’s of the their client’s needs. This application will be a valuable asset for emergency preparedness and response.
