Military Over Lay Editor

• Add geographic data in vector, raster, or other supported formats for reference while composing and positioning unit symbols.

• Manually or automatically add leader lines to multiple symbols that occur at the same location.

• Stack symbols of identical units that occur at the same location. • Use graphics generated by MOLE in Windows-based ArcGIS.

MOLE is also a toolkit for developers who want to embed MIL-STD 2525B symbology into their applications using ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS Server.

A coordinate tool Supports coordinate conversion.

Terrain analysis tools Perform linear and radial visibility analysis across tiles, view data in

3D, and create threat domes.

Conversion tools Batch coordinate conversion of coordinates in files; convert features to shapefiles and geodatabase

feature classes.

Range Ring tool Creates a series of spatially accurate and projected ellipses for weapons system and aircraft ranges.

ArcGIS Military Analyst also includes Military Overlay Editor (MOLE)

Create rang rings for target analysis Multiple raster libraries

Vector distance tools

• Buffer Creates new feature data with feature boundaries at a specified distance from input features.

• Near Adds attribute fields to a point feature class containing distance, feature identifier, angle and coordinates of the nearest point or line feature.

• Make Closest Facility Layer Sets analysis parameters to find the closest location or set of locations on a network to another location or set of locations.

• Make Route Layer Sets analysis parameters to find the among a set of points.

Raster distance tool : Cost distance

Take into account energy expenditure, difficulty, or hazard and that travel cost can vary with terrain, ground cover, or other factors.Given a set of points, output would contain all of the areas closest to a given point. However, if the cost to travel between the points varied according to some characteristic of the area between them, then a given location might be closer, in terms of travel cost, to a different point.

Satellites

• GSAT-7 and GSAT-6 satellites have been developed for strategic purposes.

• Dual-purpose satellites like the technology experimental satellite (TES, 2000) and the four cartographic satellites (CARTOSAT-1, 2, 2A and 2B in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010).

• Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites called RISAT II (2009) and RISAT I (2011) essentially to address terrorism related threats.

CARTOSAT-2

• Dedicated satellite for the Indian Armed Forces.• Spatial resolution < 1• Spectral bands 0.50 – 0.85• The swath covered is 9.6 km spatial resolution is 80 centimetres.• The satellite carries a panchromatic (PAN) camera capable of

taking black-and-white pictures in the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum.

• The highly agile Cartosat-2A can be steered up to 45 degrees.• CARTOSAT 3 is upcoming satellite with 0.25m resolution

CARTOSAT – 2 A CARTOSAT 2B

RISAT-2

• Radar Imaging Satellite 2 has a primary sensor, the synthetic aperture radar.• Altitude 536 km• Repetitive cycle 25 days• Spectral band 5.350 GHz (C – Band)• Swath 100 – 600 km• It has a day-night, all-weather monitoring capability and has a resolution of

one metre. Potential applications include tracking hostile ships at sea. • Media preferred to classify it as a spy satellite. • ISRO claims that the satellite will enhance ISRO's capability for earth

observation, especially during floods, cyclones, landslides and in disaster management in a more effective way.

GSAT-7 or INSAT-4F 

• Multi-band military communications satellite developed by ISRO. The Indian Navy is the user of the multi-band communication spacecraft, which has been operational since September 2013.

• According to defence experts, the satellite will enable the navy to extend it's blue water capabilities and stop relying on foreign satellites like Inmarsat, which provide communication services to its ships
