Geospatial Engineering
What is Geospatial Engineering? It’s not just Maps
Geospatial Engineering encompasses those tasks that provide geospatial information and services to enhance awareness, understanding, and effective use of the operational environment for commanders and staffs across the range of military operations. Geospatial engineering provides the Joint Force Commanders (JFC) with terrain analysis and visualization of the operational environment through the development, management, analysis, dissemination, and display of accurate terrain and other geospatially-referenced information and derived actionable advice that is referenced to precise location on the earth’s surface. It forms the foundation upon which all other information on the operational environment is layered to form the common operational picture (COP) for the JFC and is an example of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT). Geospatial engineer units provide strategic, operational and tactical terrain analysis, terrain visualization, digital terrain products, nonstandard or updated map products, and baseline survey data to combat, CS, and CSS forces.
