GI2RA
The Geospatial Intelligence Integrated Reference Architecture
GI2RA is a three year research project to investigate an architecture to support the provision of consistent and unambiguous geospatial data to and from the deployed user. The ultimate purpose being to ‘enable the delivery of correct and coherent information in the appropriate form at the right time’.
The Problem
Geospatial Information is currently available from a number of Specialist Environmental Centers (SECs). The provision of this data is currently stovepiped and can lead to the user being delivered the same feature, multiple times, from different sources in different formats.
Within the UK MoD this has long been recognized as a problem. However effective deconfliction, coordination of production and the consistent application of information management into a fused and reliable picture is a complex and, as yet, unresolved issue.
