Abstract

The defence research institutes FOFT, FFI and FOI have together continued the work with Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Nordic sub marine Viking. In this report deals with the different environments in which the Viking is planned to operate. Among other environmental parameters the influence of oceanic currents and differences in salinity is discussed. Thereafter are three different missions, reconnaissance, special operation and mine/mine countermeasure described. To point out the possibilities with GIS these scenarios are completed and the use of GIS goes as a red thread through them all.
