AutoCAD to ArcGIS Migration
Summary
Over the past ten years, Wallops gathered a wealth of mapping information for the facility. This mapping data depicted facilities, environmental, mission management and range safety features, and was available primarily in a Computer-aided Design (CAD) format via numerous drawing files. The problem facing mapping and non-mapping users alike was determining which CAD files contained the most current information and making the data available for a variety of NASA applications.
GISMO Web Application
Summary
Recognizing the need to standardize mapping data at the facility and provide tools for distributing maps to its users, Wallops developed GISMO – Geographic Information System for Managing Operations. Applying industry database design standards and implementing a web mapping interface available via the Wallops intranet, GISMO would provide managers with the ability to create maps using ArcGIS Desktop, publish them as map services, and quickly make them available to authorized users through its secure web application.
