America’s port authorities use the company’s mapping tools to collect data that aids national defense and solves other problems. Departments along the nation’s coasts use Esri’s ArcGIS for several functions, including:
-
to map bathymetric (underwater and ocean surface) environments the same way ground surfaces are mapped;
-
to share nautical charts and underwater surface data with other agencies in the cloud; and
-
to use this geographic data to organize naval and military watercraft for defense and civilian operations.
