Solution
FMIS will deliver METOC data with visualisation and decision-support tools to Defence users using Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web services over a standard browser. The system leverages cloud-based infrastructure setup by the Australia Geospatial Organisation.
Together, our multi-disciplinary team will create a state-of-the-art, scalable platform to help Defence collect, interrogate and share METOC data from across the world. Sophisticated decision-support tools will be integrated to guide and inform Defence planning.
All development work is being delivered in a secure environment, overseen by members of RPS’ project management team - specialists who have spent their entire careers working on Defence projects, and are intimately familiar with Defence objectives, security protocols and sensitivities.
Features
- Cloud-based solution providing enterprise-wide access and visualisation to Defence users, anywhere anytime.
- Collection and processing of 'big data' encompassing METOC information.
- Virtual project delivery team dispersed across three main geographies.
- Thousands of hours of software development.
