GIS – Platoon: GIS Tools to analyse and exploit terrain for Platoon Commanders
GIS – Platoon is a module of Rolta BMS Platoon. It is a custom-built extremely responsive and lightweight Militarized GIS specially designed for Platoon Commanders and Troop Leaders. It enables Platoon Commanders operating in the Tactical Battle Area to optimize their operations as per the ‘ground’.
GIS Platoon is a custom built extremely responsive and lightweight Militarized GIS specially designed for Platoon Commanders and Troop Leaders. It exploits cutting edge geospatial technologies to deliver unbelievably high quality display, visualization and analysis capabilities.These include advanced 3D visualization and analysis of all types of terrain, enabling planners to optimize the deployment of their troops.
The GIS Platoon enables Platoon Commanders operating in the Tactical Battle Area to optimize their operations as per the ‘ground’. It enables them to analyze and exploit terrain virtually in as much detail as they do today through physical reconnaissance – thus saving tremendously in time and effort and enhancing their ‘op capabilities’.
