US Army Corp of Engineers Enhanced Commerce & National Sec Through Data-Driven Geospatial Insight

Description

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for maintaining and improving nearly 12,000 miles of shallow-draft (9'-14') inland and intracoastal waterways, 13,000 miles of deep-draft (14' and greater) coastal channels, and 400 ports, harbors, and turning basins throughout the United States. Because these components of the national waterway network are considered assets to both US commerce and national security, they must be carefully managed to keep marine traffic operating safely and efficiently. The National DQM Program is tasked with providing USACE a nationally standardized remote monitoring and documentation system across multiple vessel types with timely data access, reporting, dredge certifications, data quality control, and data management. Government systems have often lagged commercial systems in modernization efforts, and the emergence of the cloud and Data Lakehouse Architectures have empowered USACE to successfully move into the modern data era. This session incorporates aspects of these topics: Data Lakehouse Architecture: Delta Lake, platform security and privacy, serverless, administration, data warehouse, Data Lake, Apache Iceberg, Data Mesh GIS: H3, MOS…
