COI 7: Geospatial Forum (Room 310C)

The Geospatial Forum provides a unique opportunity for geospatial stakeholders and database producers to meet with leaders in geospatial standardization, and geospatial dataset consumers and suppliers to discuss goals and challenges; and explore emerging technology, standards and services to reduce data production times to empower the agile force. This year we are expanding on the development and use of geospatial standards for models and simulations that support the warfighter. The transition to open consensus-based standards for geospatial data, creates opportunities for modeling and simulation systems to: Reduce technology risk by: Improving interoperability through convergence on data standards Broadening choice of solutions to a growing list of commercial products Increase efficiency and effectiveness through: Rapid integration of information, technology and authoritative data Taking advantage of advancements in data storage, computing, and visualization capabilities
