Resilience

The threat of terrorist attack means that protecting major buildings and public transport infrastructure, such as airports and major railway stations, is a high priority.

Key issues

You may identify with some of the following:

  • providing robust security whilst minimising public inconvenience;
  • coordinating incident response between different branches of the police, military and security services; and
  • being able to track the precise location of surveillance operatives and their targets.

Geographic information can address many of these by providing:

  • detailed mapping and high-resolution imagery of potential targets; and
  • a national address referencing framework that enables you to pinpoint the location of surveillance targets.
