Digitalisation and the increasing demand for precise geoinformation present new challenges for the IMG as the central geodataservice of the BMLV. Time-critical enquiries in particular require the rapid provision of high-quality, mission-relevant data. GEOSYNC addresses these requirements by developing a modular, interoperable geo-service prototype that enables the efficient processing of heterogeneous geodata, including for offline use. In addition to optimising existing geo-infrastructures, methods for analysing dynamic population data and creating a high-resolution roughness cadastre are being developed.
A central goal is the needs-based, thematic, spatial and temporal provision of geodata. To achieve this, GEOSYNC relies on opensource technologies and established international standards to create an interoperable geodata infrastructure. The resulting demonstrator enables automated geodata categorisation and metadata enrichment using AI-supported processes and the integration and preparation of other relevant data sources. The integration of new methods for creating a roughness cadastre will be prepared in conjunction with digital terrain and building models for use in LASAT and AUSTAL. The recording and differentiation of population density depending on the time of day, working hours and seasonal fluctuations is being examined in a feasibilitystudy with regard to the availability of modern data sources and advanced modelling approaches.
The optimisation of geodata provision for safety-critical applications is of particular importance. For example, the NBC Defence Centre and other specialist departments benefit from improved dispersion modelling (LASAT/AUSTAL), which enables a more accurate simulation of the spread of pollutants or the development of forest fires. The standardised processing of geospatial data makes it easier to use in existing systems such as QGIS, ABC-IS or battle management systems. The possibility of self-sufficient,militarily secure data processing without dependence on commercial cloud services also increases the resilience of the systemand reduces cyber risks.
