A Unique Organization Offering Unique Benefits Geospatial technologies play an important role in business, government, and research applications and workflows. However, the benefits of using these technologies are often limited by the inability to effectively share information. To address this problem, government, private sector, and academic organizations use the OGC consensus process to cooperatively define, develop, test, document, validate and approve interface and encoding standards and best practices that solve interoperability problems. With more than 400 member organizations worldwide, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is the leading organization for developing and maintaining international geospatial and location standards. The OGC is a not-for-profit voluntary consensus standards organization whose standards enable interoperability and seamless integration of location information, geoprocessing software, and geospatial services. Benefits for Technology and Content Providers Technology and content providers collaborate in the OGC because they recognize that lack of interoperability is a bottleneck that slows market expansion. They know that interoperability enabled by open standards positions them to both compete more effectively in the marketplace and to seek new market opportunities. In the OGC, technology and content provider members: • Position themselves early to influence definition of new open standards. • Reduce costs through cooperative standards development with other OGC members. • Shorten time to market by using OGC standards rather than custom interfaces. • Develop standards that help them enter new markets and find new customers because of "plug and play". • Forum for discussing industry issues and solving shared problems. • Customer relationships and business partnerships. • Deliver solutions more quickly and at lower cost. • Develop standards that help mobilize a range of products across open interfaces, rather than performing resource intensive custom integration. • Provide precise solutions to meet specific needs, solutions that plug-and-play.

General Dynamics C4 Systems: Command Post of the Future (CPOF) www.gdc4s.com/CPOF Eric Gardner, Eric.Gardner@gdc4s.com Gerard Tria, gerard.tria@us.army.mil In partnership with the U.S. Army and PM Mission Command, General Dynamics C4 Systems is fielding a state-of-the-art visualization and collaboration system to today’s warfighters worldwide. Command Post of the Future (CPOF) is an executive-level system providing situational awareness and collaborative tools to support decision-making. The system can be tailored to show specific visualizations and fit user needs across all warfighting functions and organizations from Corps to Battalion. This tool suite uses General Dynamics’ CoMotion® technology. CoMotion provides information analysis, visualization and collaboration in a single, integrated environment that ultimately helps commanders and decision-makers make sense of information, share thoughts, evaluate courses of action and monitor their execution. • CPOF creates a rich multi-perspective and shared operational picture. • CPOF supports distributed and collaborative planning, whether for rehearsal or execution, allowing the Commander to command the battlefield from anywhere. CPOF's greatest strength is its consistent, easy-to-use information-centric interface. The key design concepts are: • Composability - Warfighters can access, view, and tune individual data elements, visualizations, and composite work products yielding a user-defined operational picture. • Next-Generation Collaboration – From disparate locations, commanders and staff can naturally work together to generate, share and evaluate Courses of Action (COAs), Operation Orders, Commanders Orders and more. Every visualization and work product in CPOF is collaborative from the moment the system is turned on. The always-on sharing supports self-synchronization, which minimizes interruptions and allows the commander and staff to manage, maintain and share their C2 resources and expertise. • Visualization - Users work with live operational data that moves easily across visualization products, automatically taking the appropriate form (geospatial, temporal, textual, etc). This “liquid information” allows each user to display information the way he or she thinks about it.
