ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to identify which open source GIS SW is suitable for topographic analysis of military operations. After illustrating DTSS (Digital Topographic Support System), case study on application of open source GIS SW to military operation and national security is summarized. Eight open source GIS SWs are compared based on functions, community and user size, integration and linkage capability, extensibility, version-up speed etc. As a result, QGIS and GRASS GIS have showed many advantages. Taking fast changing environment and demand for various functions into consideration, QGIS has a better advantage than GRASS GIS because QGIS is capable of leveraging other open source SWs including GRASS, SAGA, and R etc.
