Historically, the most common means of obtaining situational awareness
would be to identify what information is required for the mission and
search through printed material, data repositories, Web links, news media,
and voice communication. This manual process is very time-consuming
and may not produce timely results. As such, IT infrastructure and systems
have to be developed to collect data and information from disparate
sources, process the data into logical outputs, and push it to the user to
make better and more informed decisions. The systematic process of
obtaining the right information at the right place and time is optimized by
geographic information system (GIS) technology.
