Frost & Sullivan: U.S. Defense Geospatial Tools and Services- the Modern Warrior's Weaponry PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Oct. 17, 2012 - Basic tools have reached market capacity, and a shift to services is growing MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Participants within the U.S. defense geospatial products market have reached a point in which each has established their particular niche. The transformation into a tools and services market has begun, as companies develop applications that can enhance and integrate vast amounts of information on to geographic canvases. The advent of "big data" (geospatial data so large and complex it becomes difficult to process) is a driving force behind initiatives focused on managing new data formats, such as full motion video, high-definition and 3-D graphics. New research from Frost & Sullivan (www.frost.defense.com) finds that Department of Defense (DoD) spending on geospatial products and research is estimated to reach $3.21 billion by 2017. This amount would be significantly higher if classified spending were publicly accessible for reporting.
