Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and/or geospatial applications and infrastructures are widely used and widely integrated into other systems. Among the most well-known such systems are those based on the Global Navigation System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). They have enabled such diverse applications as automobile navigation systems, smartphones that location stamp photographs, and military weapon systems that target enemy locations. According to Hahmann and Burghardt (2013), about 80% of all data have a spatial reference; i.e. the data can be related to a physical coordinate. Systems and their constituents reside in or operate in space and often need to know where they or their parts, constituents, etc. are; where their mobile components go; or where objects observed by the system are. In other words (Longley et al. 2015): “Almost everything that happens, happens somewhere. Knowing where something happens can be critically important.” Extending this, potentially the system(s) and their associated constituents require synchronization of their activities and actions which is often achieved by triggering actions via time stamps; for this purpose, systems need to be time-wise synchronized to a certain extent or accuracy. The Geospatial/Geodetic Engineering Knowledge Area provides a broad introduction into this overall topic in order to make the reader aware where relevant technologies are actually used in systems. It reflects the abundant uses and applications of geodetic and geospatial technologies in system such as GNSS & GPS; GIS; spatial reference systems; processing, analysis and visualization of geospatial data. It briefly analyzes to what extent the Systems Engineering Specialty Activities listed in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook (2015) and modeling and simulation may be supported by related subject matter expertise. In addition, it discusses whether Geospatial and Geodetic Engineering should be considered as dedicated Specialty Engineering activities themselves within Systems Engineering.
