Application of geoinformation technology in the armed forces in the Republic of Kazakhstan
Abstract
Introduction / purpose: This article is written in order to acquaint readers with geoinformation technology in the process of organizing topographic and geodetic support, as well as to make recommendations and suggestions that will enable the formation of an effective and comprehensive system of geoinformation support for the Armed Forces, other troops and military units of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Methods: The analytical approach was used in the analysis of the causes of local warfare, armed conflicts and use of high-precision weapons in combat operations where sophisticated reconnaissance, geoinformation systems and communications are involved. The conclusions were also drawn on the basis of the analysis of the historical development of geoinformation technologies.
Results: The article provides a brief overview of geospatial support systems using geoinformation technologies in foreign countries and the topographic service of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Conclusions: Creating a unified state geoinformation space is of high importance since technologies are developing in the direction of the distribution of geoportals, cloud services and the development of service-oriented architecture systems that will allow the creation of distributed GIS of various kinds. Integration of geographic information systems with rapidly developing systems of remote sensing of the Earth will dramatically increase the capabilities of modern GIS, allowing real-time updating of spatial information, especially in the field of important decision-making.
