Combat Terrain Information Systems (CTIS)
When conducting operations, having the right geospatial information at the right time is essential to making critical tactical decisions quickly and efficiently. Timely, accurate geospatial information about the battlefield is needed to maintain strategic control of events. To gather this critical data, Army geospatial teams require modular and portable geographic information and image processing systems.
Northrop Grumman is contracted with the Product Director Combat Terrain Information Systems (PDCTIS) to provide Army and Joint commanders with essential time sensitive geospatial information and analysis through a Net-Centric environment to provide information superiority to today’s Warfighters. CTIS supports the Army Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB), Army Command and Control (C2), geospatial visualization, analytical capabilities for weapons and sensor system emplacements, and a host of other topographic information functions.
