At HHB we use Geospatial and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) interchangeably. According to www.GIS.com , "GIS is a collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displayig all forms of geographically referenced information."

Whether it be the national intelligence community, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, your local emergency responder, planning and zoning agencies, geophysical companies, transportation networks, or any other organization that requires the use of maps, earth science, earth imagery (to include satellite and airborne collected), they are customers and users that must solve problems that involve geography, maps and earth images.

So What Do GIS Systems Do?

GIS systems link location data, physical attributes (features), buildings, people, vehicles, terrain, maps, photos, and other data that allows one to get a better understanding or analysis of a geographic area. Whether you use this data for everyday decision making, intelligence analysis (who/what is there, who/what is not there now, and when did it change), defense applications (battle and target planning), or for scientific research and analysis, HHG has the experts to help you select, integrate, and implement such solutions.

 We Help You Find and Implement GIS Solutions

We are a solutions provider, not a tools builder. We don't build GIS tools and software, so we aren't coupled to any particular solutions.  We help you select, integrate, and use the best solution for your needs. Users of GIS systems usually must plan for a high volume of input sources, as well as the ability to integrate with all the other components within their current enterprise architecture. HHB can guide you through that maze. We can also help you plan for information systems security aspect of your selection, and ensure that you implement the proper events for certification and accredition, to include all formal areas required for use by the federal government.

With our team members, both government and industry, we have planned and coordinated the installation of GIS systems used today by all major US intelligence centers and major commands. Our experience runs the gamut of initial systems capability design, requirements development, systems integration, and the deployment of operational systems.
