Defence & Security

Join us for Esri Canada’s virtual National Security Seminar on May 5, 2021. Reserve your seat today.

Every nation strives to protect and defend its citizens, economy, resources, assets and way of life. The interest of a nation lies in the prevention of incidents and mitigation of their impacts. Every mission requires national intelligence for developing plans, assessing vulnerabilities, and responding with relevant situational awareness. GIS enables organizations to strengthen their Defence and National Security by creating actionable and data-driven geospatial intelligence that supports collaboration and unified action.

Inform decision making with the power of location

Now is the time to invest in GIS, a sophisticated mapping technology that has helped many organizations overcome operational challenges and drive improved response. It leverages all of the geographically-referenced data that exists in your existing systems -- such as sensors, imagery, surveillance, personnel and equipment data -- to uncover what might not otherwise be visible or understood in a multipage report or complex spreadsheet.

Support force and operation readiness

ArcGIS is a robust platform that allows you to manage, analyze and display your data so that you can make the best, most informed decisions. It gives everyone in your organization the ability to discover, use, make and share information and maps from any device, anywhere, anytime.

Areas of Focus

Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT)

Integrate imagery and geospatial data with other intelligence to create products critical to national intelligence, national security and defence.

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Model, simulate and assess risks to critical infrastructure for emergency assessment, preparation, response and recovery.

Enterprise GIS

Connect decision making across multiple defence networks and beyond through a more integrated, enterprise approach.

Situational Awareness

Gain knowledge of situations based on fusion of information from multiple sources to create geospatial intelligence, make better-informed decisions and achieve mission success.

Common Operating Picture

Visualize relevant geospatial information and real-time data to facilitate collaborative planning, coordinate operational activities and achieve accurate and timely situational awareness.

Defence

Most national defence decisions involve geography. Whether assessing potential terrorist targets, planning where to strike on the battlefield or deciding where to locate a new military operations site with minimal environmental impact, geography always comes into the equation.
