), a leading provider of real time information technology solutions to industrial and U.S. government customers, has announced that the Open Geospatial Consortium The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international voluntary consensus standards organization. In the OGC, more than 330 commercial, governmental, nonprofit and research organizations worldwide collaborate in an open consensus process encouraging development and  (OGC OGC Office of Government Commerce (UK government)

) has adopted the SYS-led Geographic Objects-1 Application Implementation Specification (GO-1). OGC is the international standards body whose focus is to ensure that geospatial products and services comply to OGC's open interface specifications to enable users to freely exchange and apply geospatial information, applications and services across networks, different platforms and products.

SYS has been working with OGC, its member companies, the U.S. Navy, and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA 1. (body) DISA - Defense Information Systems Agency.
2. (standard) DISA - Data Interchange Standards Association.
), for the past three years to achieve adoption of this standard. Geospatial applications use technologies, services, and information resources to leverage location and spatial information to help users visualize and analyze situations geographically. The development of geospatial applications is projected to be a multi-billion dollar market in 2005. Significant additional growth is expected in the next decade.

The portability offered by GO-1 reduces the business risk of replacing GIS solutions, or of supporting multiple GIS products. This enhanced interoperability removes significant barriers for third-party application developers like SYS. We expect that the implementation of this standard will greatly enhance our market opportunities."

Rich Kadel, Sr. Vice President of SYS' Net-Centric Software Division, said, "This OGC announcement further establishes SYS as an industry leader in the application of geospatial standards and products, and strengthens our credibility with DoD customers. In particular, SYS is under contract to implement GO-1 interfaces within the DoD-wide Global Command and Control System Highly mobile, deployable command and control system supporting forces for joint and multinational operations across the range of military operations, any time and anywhere in the world with compatible, interoperable, and integrated command, control, communications, computers, and  and the Joint Web Common Operational Picture, which establishes a GO-1 interface to GIS products from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., Redlands, CA, www.esri.com) The world's leading developer of geographic information systems (GIS) software, including programs that plot ZIP codes and addresses, demographic information and detailed, color-coded data. ), one of the leading providers of GIS solutions."

SYS' Net-Centric Software Division develops a variety of geospatial applications. For the Navy's Composeable FORCEnet, SYS has integrated enemy and friendly position location data, underwater sensor data, and overlay data that includes mission plans and battlespace intelligence. This and other data is available on one manageable display. This system is currently being used by the US Navy for Anti-Submarine Warfare operations in the Pacific Theater.
