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:

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