Geospatial Edge for the Warfighter JOINT-GEOSPATIAL ENTERPRISE SERVICES PROGRAM BUILDS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WARFIGHTER, COMMAND CENTER AND NATIONAL LEVEL. Profound changes in science and technology are better equipping our soldiers with the tools necessary to accomplish their missions efficiently and effectively. Yet in the constantly evolving world of geospatial services, the number of programs, platforms and formats seems endless. Deciding which of the many commercial- and governmentoff-the-shelf GIS solutions best fit the specialized needs of the warfighter is a daunting task, especially as adversaries adapt to the Army’s combat tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). Today’s solutions may not solve tomorrow’s problems. The soldier must remain two steps ahead by improving current tactics and equipment or developing new tools and procedures. To better enable our warfighters to navigate today’s complex operational environment, the Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) developed the Joint-Geospatial Enterprise Services program (J-GES) to build a bridge among the warfighter, the command center and the national level of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. J-GES enables every soldier to serve as a sensor by providing each with the ability to evaluate and implement COTS and GOTS technol- BY JAMAL B.

This approach improves the soldier’s situational awareness and probability of mission success. “The goal of J-GES is to migrate geospatial information and services to a net-centric envi- Dan Visone ronment, enabling technologies and standards to support horizontal, vertical and peer-to-peer interoperability from national to tactical,” according to Dan Visone, J-GES program manager. Specific goals of the J-GES program include: • • Facilitating the early transition of emerging technologies and net-centric C4ISR geospatial services Partnering with industry to enhance commercial GIS technology to support complex J-GES needs www.MGT-kmi.com MGT 7.1 | 27
