Developing Military Capability for Interoperability, Data Collection & Accuracy And Tactical & Strategic Decision-Making

GIS Defence Asia-Pacific will bring Asia’s Ministries of Defence and other governmental organisations together with international counterparts to focus on the increasing use of geospatial information in defence.

A strong and highly researched programme will deliver presentations and specific case studies to share strategies to help you with:

1. Interoperability and accuracy challenges related to internal and regional armed forces
2. The use geospatial intelligence to facilitate asset management across large geographical areas
3. Utilising GIS to support mission planning, command and control and tactical operations
4. Identifying the technical capabilities and direction of major open source geospatial software development efforts
5. Using innovative technologies in remote sensing, analysis and propagation of data
