Introducing ArcGIS Defense Mapping

ArcGIS Defense Mapping software streamlines geographic information system (GIS) production for defense mapping agencies and contractors to support mission-critical applications. Defense Mapping includes specialized capabilities to automate the production processes from beginning to end through standardization, repeatability, and configuration. This extension has tools for data collection and attribution, geodatabase maintenance, data validation, and production of standardized defense data and cartographic products. Defense Mapping provides the geodatabase models, topologies, business rules, cartographic rules, and map templates required for Topographic Map (TM), Multinational Geospatial Co-Production Program (MGCP) Topographic Map (MTM), Image City Map (ICM), and more.

What can you do with ArcGIS Defense Mapping?

Consistent workflows

ArcGIS Defense Mapping provides task-based workflows, built using ArcGIS Workflow Manager, to work with authoritative defense schemas. Each workflow is designed as a simple, focused task to be performed by a single technician. This makes it easy for technicians to understand what work they are required to do.

Automated generalization

ArcGIS Defense Mapping provides out-of-the-box generalization models to automate the creation of maps, charts, and data products at any scale based on the unique characteristics of different data themes. The models automate multi-scale mapping efforts to produce any output scale of data or cartographic product from a single best scale database.
