DEFGEO002 Apply geospatial visualisation

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competence from the Defence DEF Training Package

Application

This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to provide geospatial visualisation products to Defence clients. It covers such tasks as the production of maps and charts, and specialised product such as contour maps, slope maps, shaded relief products and three dimensional flythrough. The outcomes require the application of geospatial software, such as geographic information system (GIS) functionality. In the context of this unit, a general understanding of the operational or training environment is required. This unit was developed in a Defence environment but may be relevant to others who work in the geospatial field. Those undertaking this unit would work independently, or as part of a team, with minimal supervision, while performing complex tasks, including complex problem solving, in a limited range of contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. Licensing/Regulatory Information No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
