战场地理空间信息保障的发展态势

美军为实现《2020联合构想》中提出的以信息优势为基础的作战能力，正在不断地吸纳和创新战场信息系统的概念，创建可视化的、透明的战场环境。而以地图、影像和地理坐标为主的战场地理空间信息，是实现战场可视化能力的基础，为战场可视化和战场态势感知提供了关键的框架，是建设透明战场必须重点考虑的要素之一。近年来，以美国为首的西方军队以联合作战理论研究为牵引，以先期概念技术演示、模拟演习为手段，全方位地开展了影像、影像情报和地理空间信息保障新概念、新体系的研究，取得重要进展，许多新的信息系统、新技术和设备相继问世。其军事测绘保障正在完成从模拟环境向数字化、信息化环境的转变。

The Status and Trends of Geospatial Information Supporting

Joint Vision 2020,which defined new levels of information superiority in joint warfighting,forces American Armed Forces to continuously update new concepts and construct a transparent battlefield.The geospatial information,including:map,imagery and geographical coordinates,has been identified as the basis for battlefield visualization and considered as a crucial element for constructing transparent battlefield.It provides a key framework for battlefield visualization and situation awareness.Under the guidance of the theory of joint warfighting and taking advantage of Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration,American Armed Forces and the other westein troops are heavily involved in the research and development of new concepts and new information architecture.Many new systems,new technologies and equipment have been completed.It is shown that the geospatial information supporting is migrating from an analog,20th century environment to a digital,21st century information environment.
