Abstract

Supporting the Army Installation GIS Community though Geospatial Data Services
Track: Web and Server
Authors: Steven Bowley

In order to maximize the potential of and return on investment in GIS data development, the US Army Europe SRP GIS team is leveraging ArcGIS Server software to publish raster and vector data holdings as geospatial web-services, which can be consumed by other desktop GIS, CAD, web and mobile users throughout the Army network. This presentation describes the enterprise GIS architecture that facilitates these services, and lessons learned during their creation and publication.
The US Army Europe Sustainable Range Program (SRP) is responsible for developing and maintaining geo-spatial data for all US and selected host-nation training areas across Europe. This data provides the basis for a range of GIS information products, which support the Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) program and the Range and Training Land Program (RTLP). Through these programs SRP GIS data supports Training Area Management, Range Operations/Modernization, Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance, and Training Land Assessment projects.
