Project Goal
The mission of the Lockheed Martin Global Emergency Operations Center (GEOC) is to deliver innovative global threat intelligence and analysis capabilities, crisis management communications, coordination, and collaboration services across the enterprise. The GEOC provides proactive and timely global monitoring and crisis management solutions to key decision-makers and stakeholders. The goal of our ESRI project was to create a situational awareness tool, leveraging ESRI technology that our staff could use on a 24/7 basis to accomplish our mission.Business Problem Solved
Our operations center can now easily integrate more publicly available information to provide additional context and situational awareness to our stakeholders. Open-source data layers have been made accessible within the solution, through ESRI's ArcGIS Online library. These data layers come in many shapes and forms, from evacuation zones, to updated imagery of places affected by major events, to global infrastructure, to the strength and track of a hurricane making landfall. The application created allows users to geographically visualize all these data in relation to Lockheed Martin assets.
