The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency wants to update their aging satellite maps and it seems the Department of Defense has ordered that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and other DoD Organizations must “play nice” and contribute to the efforts. Of course, not everything will be added as many of the maps are of such immense resolution as to be considered classified, but it seems they’ll be publishing content in the Global Content Delivery Server & Defense Enterprise Computing Center. The combined efforts will be rolling into the “Geospatial Visualization Shared Enterprise Service”.
Also, some of the information will be made available worldwide via the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications Systems.
Still gathering details on what exactly this means. Anyone know any more details about this?
