The Contribution of Geoinformatics Science to the Indian Army: An Exploring Study

Abstract

The Indian Army uses the GSAT-7B satellite for communication purposes. This satellite is part of the GSAT-7 series, which was first launched in 2013. The GSAT-7 series was designed to provide a wide range of communication services, including low bit rate voice to high bit rate data communication. Geoinformatic science plays a crucial role in border surveillance. The Indian Army uses geospatial intelligence to monitor the borders and prevent any trespassing. Geoinformatic science provides navigation support to the Indian Army. This support is crucial for military operations, especially in areas where the network is poor. GIS mapping is used to create detailed maps of the terrain. This information is used to plan military operations and strategies. Geoinformatic science is used in military training to create simulated environments. This training is crucial for the military to prepare for real-life situations.
