Geospatial Technologies
Government, military, and private sector decision-makers often require access to information that is precisely associated with particular geographic locations. For example, they might want to know what kinds of buildings are located here or what the environmental conditions are there. Whether the need is related to mapping tax boundaries, search and rescue operations following a disaster, or evacuation planning for a nuclear facility, geographic information systems (GIS) can integrate and relate any data with a spatial element.Unlocking data to meet objectives.
IEM’s GIS capabilities extend far beyond creating maps— we put this data to work for our customers for more timely and informed decision making. Our experience spans the range of the GIS development cycle, from detailed needs assessments to maintaining and restructuring databases. IEM has also developed sophisticated GIS modeling tools to assist with data development and evaluation of options, from resource allocation and management to aiding tactical decisions on the battlefield. Applied in support of both strategic and tactical objectives, IEM’s geospatial tools and products can create and help maintain a common operating picture at all levels of government and across multiple jurisdictions—a valuable resource for tracking and maintaining situational awareness in training, exercises, and real events.
