Overview

Point of Origin Detection

The Point of Origin Detection template is an ArcGIS Pro Project Template template that helps depict the areas where incoming indirect fires may have originated. This is accomplished by plotting the minimum and maximum effective ranges of a known enemy weapon system as concentric rings around the points of impact. The areas of intersection of these rings show the potential area of origin. Elevation and Terrain is not accounted for with this tool. This template will:

  • Provide an example of a point of origin detection product.
  • Provide tools and layers that can be used to determine possible point of origin areas.
  • Provide notional sample data.
