Description
This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to support Defence geospatial operations. It covers such tasks as the provision of support for field surveying and other spatial projects. In the context of this unit, an understanding of the Defence geospatial operations being conducted and the production of the geospatial products to support the operation is required.This unit was developed in a Defence environment but may be relevant to others who work in the geospatial field. Those undertaking this unit would work independently, or as part of a team, with minimal supervision, while performing complex tasks, including complex problem solving, in a limited range of contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.Licensing/Regulatory InformationNo licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
