Army Mapper (AM) is the enterprise geospatial system for the Army Installation and Environment (I&E) domain and is the geospatial database of record. AM supports both Geographic Information Systems and Computer Aided Design and Drafting data and users. AM supports Army geospatial business requirements through a set of common functionality and a common-level-of-support. Army geospatial assets are managed and maintained centrally by installation and programmatic users.

AM consists of three main elements:
1. Web Map Viewer - a web-based interactive mapping tool providing basic viewing and querying of common data for all integrated installations.

2. Desktop Tools - commercial GIS and CADD software available through Citrix

3. Data Repository - secure and robust data architecture to support managed maintenance and archival of standardized installation data
