Proposal of an Algorithm for Evaluation of Wet Gap Crossing Using Geoprocessing Tool

Abstract

The article deals with the area of engineer and geographical support within the operation of troops and their planning process. This is one of the tasks in terms of measures to ensure the mobility of own troops. The issue of the article is aimed primarily at identifying the geospatial data source and the criteria that affect wet gap crossing by troops and at the proposal of an algorithm that can be used for the development of a geoprocessing tool of wet gap crossing. The contribution of the article is a comparison of the limit values of the vehicles used in wet gap crossing with the natural environment in the operational area and the proposal of an algorithm in the form of flowcharts usable for a geoprocessing tool of wet gap crossing. The significance of the article lies in the proposal of the development of the information system of command and control and its engineer subsystem as an element of C4ISTAR systems.
