Abstract

TAP IN � Exploring US Army Training Resources across Europe
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Authors: Kevin Knapp, James Batcheller

TAP IN is the US Army Europe�s new map-driven training resource and scheduling explorer, developed and maintained by the Training Support Activity Europe (TSAE) Directorate in Grafenwoehr, Germany. Leveraging the existing infrastructure of the Sustainable Range Program�s (SRP) Army Range Mapper (ARM) ArcGIS Server platform, TAP IN allows users to search training support facility locations, view facility-specific information, download products (i.e. SOPs, operating handbooks, maps, etc.), and query real-time and future scheduling data for TSAE training facilities across Europe. This presentation will describe the architecture of TAP IN, the development process and challenges encountered in standing up a platform designed to integrate and deliver training-relevant content from multiple sources while remaining scalable, reliable and user-friendly.
