Formation of Requirements for Geoinformation Systems of Military Purpose

Abstract

A characteristic feature of modern forms of use of the Armed Forces (AF) is the high dynamism of combat operations, and the main trend in the development of AF command and control systems (CCS) is the integration of various systems of communication, navigation, reconnaissance, information acquisition and processing, weapons, intelligent systems, automation of all formal and fast-moving processes. Geo-information systems (GIS), geo-information technologies (GIT), GPS and Earth remote sensing (ERS) technologies have become de facto a necessary technology for obtaining and processing spatial data in both civil and military spheres. The use of GIS for military purposes (MP) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will make it possible to conduct a qualitative analysis of spatial and attributive information, take effective management decisions, visualize the combat zone of both individual units and subunits, and the entire theater of operations, promptly display any changes in the combat situation, automate the process of updating maps, determining the coordinates of the desired objects, navigation, etc. It allows you to reduce the likelihood of errors and flaws, increase the speed of creating maps, speed up the processing of information and significantly improve the quality of decision-making by commanders of different levels and echelons who are involved in the process of making certain decisions, and ensure the same initial picture of fighting activities; support of knowledge of the military-object situation at the tactical, operational-tactical and operational levels; to ensure prompt delivery of information to interested authorized users.
