The Range Science GIS program works in conjuction with the SWFREC GIS facility. Facilities are located at the Southwest Florida Research & Education Center (SWFREC) in Immokalee, Florida. A Dual Pentium 300MHz GIS NT server is the backbone of most of the applications as well as a Pentium Pro 200MHz NT workstation. The SWFREC has a SUN Sparc 20 which is used. GIS software is based on ESRI's ARC/INFO and ArcView. Global positioning work is accomplished with a Trimble Pro XR Real-time differential correction GPS receiver. Plotting is provided by the SWFREC HP 650C Designjet plotter.
