Robert Burkhardt, Army Geospatial Information Officer, puts the value proposition for using Geospatial applications in no uncertain terms.

“We are all collectors and we are all sensors able to take part in the disciplined sharing of data. Disciplined sharing will save money and lives.”

Burkhardt shared his thoughts during Geospatial Day in Washington, DC. Burkhardt was joined on the agenda by Geospatial experts from Autodesk, DLT Solutions, GeoEye and Google. 
 

In this edition of On The FrontLines, you'll peer into the future as well as learning what Geospatial technologies are changing your world right now.

Read what Burkhardt views as the four major Geospatial trends driving the use of Geospatial technologies in government.  Watch a video where Burkhardt describes how the 25^th Army Brigade used Geospatial applications to accomplish their mission in Mosul, Iraq.

Read what leading Geospatial providers--Geoff Zeiss from Autodesk, Rich Helou from DLT, Steve Miller from GeoEye and Mike Evanoff from Google—think government will be doing more of in the not too distant future. Then watch videos as they describe the concrete benefits of using Geospatial technologies now.

Turn the page and read about the Army's BuckEye System, which provides high-resolution urban terrain imagery for tactical missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Finally watch a video from Jim Flyzik as he describes what Einstein, Aristotle and Geospatial have in common.
