In this talk, I introduced the web based military geo-portal system which was implemented on top of numerous open source projects such as PostGIS, GeoServer, Cesium, mago3D, OpenGXT. This military geo-portal system provides integrated search, layer control, satellite image retrieval, spatial terrain analysis, reading coordinates, and map notes functionalities to the military officers through intranet. This system is basically a web based 3D GIS utilizing mago3D and can be switched to 2D. This system utilizes the OGC WPS Web Processing Service for the analysis on web environment. As a result of this system implementation, military officers can access the huge amount of geospatial data and analysis functions on a web environment without installing additional software.
