Greetings!

 
Happy Holidays!  The TIDES team has been busy in the weeks leading up to the holiday season as we completed expanded demonstrations at Camp Roberts and are gearing up for the upcoming AFCEA conference in January.  Please read on for more information...
Camp Roberts Demonstrations (Nov 10-14)
Expanded GIS and UAV Integration
 
TIDES has just completed an expanded demonstration of GIS and UAV integration for field operations at Camp Roberts in San Miguel, California.  The demonstration was a success due to the collaborative effort of a group of civilian and military organizations comprised of: Sahana, Open Mobile Consortium, InSTEDD, San Diego State University Visualization Lab, Open Solutions Group, Inc, Synergy Strike Force, Unthinkingly.com and the National Defense University.
 
The demonstrations addressed 3 major challenges to building a common operating picture:
 
1. Making effective use of aerial imagery.
2. Exploring new methods for field data collection.
3. Developing systems for integrating streams of
     information.
