Abstract

"Geospatial Product Support: A Collaborative Effort for the Warfighter"
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Authors: John Seibert, Teresa McMillan

The Geospatial Products and Support Section at the CTSF had a very humble beginning as an additional duty to support the CTSF test floors with a common map picture for the early days of the "Army's Battle Command System of Systems" (ABCS).
Over time this section has transformed into a geospatial one-stop-shop in support of our Nation's Warfighters. This "data clearinghouse" if you will, is only possible through a collaborative effort between the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Army's Geospatial Center, the Defense Logistics Agency, the Richmond Map Facility and the CTSF.
This presentation will highlight how these key partnerships were developed over time: how each leverage off each other, the common interests we share, and the core GIS Software we all use to provide the customer, our soldiers, with a comprehensive and relevant data package in support of their mission
