Live from the IMCOM Booth at AUSA: The Installation Geospatial Information & Services (IGI&S) Program’s enterprise geospatial system.

The Army Mapper provides the infrastructure foundation for secure sharing of geospatial capabilities and data in accordance with Army and Department of Defense (DOD) enterprise architecture standards.

“The Army Mapper’s geospatial systems allow users to visualize, analyze and present data as maps, reports and charts,” said Judy Carter. “These tools can be used to inform decision-making and help users to answer and solve problems. For example, Army Mapper allows installation specialists to plan for major events by comprehensive gathering data on potential locations well beforehand.”

Geospatial information supports many Army missions, including emergency response planning, force protection, training support, facilities management, environmental planning, and natural resources conservation.

The Army IGI&S program delivers the data and services that support the management and resourcing of Army installations worldwide and are key to Army Installation Management Command’s to effectively adapt Army installation, programs and services to support an expeditionary Army and plan for the future Army community.
