Original Abstract

Successful ground military operations necessitate thorough comprehension of the operational environment, particularly terrain and water features. This article advocates for the utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to develop a dynamic web application aimed at analyzing and planning watercourse crossings. By harnessing the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, the proposed application integrates hydrological and terrain data to provide comprehensive insights into the feasibility of crossing specific water obstacles under varying conditions. Key considerations include terrain characteristics, river channel profiles, and the tactical specifications of military vehicles. While the application is currently in the conceptual phase and awaits verification, its potential in enhancing operational planning for the Czech Armed Forces is underscored. This GIS-based approach promises to enhance decision-making processes by offering real-time, interactive support for evaluating and strategizing water obstacle crossings within military operations.
