The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) Defense Maritime Geospatial Information Infrastructure (DMarGS).

The UKHO have a large amount of information available for its military customers. However it is not readily available at short notice, nor is information pertaining to the extent and content of such data. The rapid and dynamic nature of today’s operations along with the availability of the internet and military network infrastructure, have raised expectations on the availability of information and timescales for delivery.  The UKHO have thus been investigating various approaches to the delivery of information through networked services. A number of capabilities for the delivery of Maritime Charts have been developed, but improvement has been limited to standard products only.
