The primary role of the DGC is to provide land maps, aeronautical charts, positional information, geo-referenced imagery and data in raster, matrix, and vector formats for UK Defence planning, operations and training. This can be satisfied by material collected on a global basis or produced in house.
Demand for conventional paper maps and charts continues alongside a significant growth in the demand for digital data to support weapons platforms, systems, navigation and C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computation & Information). DGC data now forms a key component of most modern weapon systems and is a key enabler for their efficient use.
