3. What’s The Problem?
Where will a terrorist shoot from?
Where should I deploy my resources to stop him?
How do I search the area?
What help can I get from CCTV etc?
How to I tell people what’s happening?
How do I record my analysis for use later?
How do I do it faster, with less people?

4. RAM-PRAS
Rocket and Mortar Position Ranking and Analysis
System
C++ Front-end
SQL Server back-end
Esri File GDB to store mapping (Arc Engine 10.0)
Architecture has to assume worst case, so: local
data, no network, classified output, locked down
computer, accreditation

5. Start with a mortar
CONNECT. TRANSFORM. AUTOMATE.
10. How to get all that to the
frontline with limited
bandwidth?
CONNECT. TRANSFORM. AUTOMATE.
Create Raster backdrops as BMP, vectors as
Shapefile and coverages as PNG
Sort and Merge using FME WorkspaceRunner
Then create a layered PDF
11. And with FME Embedded in our
product we might as well…
Convert incoming mapping to something Esri
understands
Use it for Geo-Processing (save Esri Spatial and
3D Analyst licences)
Who knows what else in future…. We can add
Workspaces to our product without recompiling
and having to be re-accredited
