Attachment STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENT MAPPING SOFTWARE 1.0 SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT. LeMay Center/WG needs to stand up a host server with mapping software that provides digital geographic map imagery on a Representational State Transfer (REST) Web Service in a closed network. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT. 2.1 An application to view spatial data, create, manipulate (edit) and manage GIS datasets, perform spatial analyses, create automated process (geoprocessing models), and perform tasks (such as geocoding), in support of our Common Operations Picture (CoP) 2.2 Ability to create, manage, and publish any custom GIS web map, application, data, geocoding, and/or geoprocessing services. 2.3 Web Service deployed on-premises (behind the firewall in a private cloud) on the organization's network or private cloud. 2.4 A map imagery repository appliance to provide terabytes of worldwide basemaps and reference layers, along with geocoding and routing services on a preloaded, network-attached storage device that plugs into the organization's internal network. The content layers and related services and protocols should be the same as those available via REST Services over the Internet so our custom applications do not have to write custom code to switch between networks. 2.5 A Silverlight web mapping Application Program Interface (API). 2.6 Hardware (server & storage) will be addressed internally within LeMay Center/WG. 3.0 BACKGOUND. LeMay Center/WG's Web Forces software, developed in-house, provides the CoP with underlying map imagery for wargames. Web Forces was built around the API of ESRI geographic information system mapping software. WG currently connects to the ESRI Cloud via NIPR to access the underlying map imagery for Web Forces. WG needs to take this capability offline for use on a closed network. That will require WG to host a map server on the closed network. Leading industry providers (Google, Bing, and MapQuest) don't authorize standalone servers for their map imagery. ESRI is the only known provider that will license WG to host a map server on a closed network.
