The Mapping & Charting Establishment (MCE) is an operational unit within the Department of National Defence (DND) whose role is to provide geospatial information and geomatics support to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and DND. As the recognized geospatial Subject Matter Expert (SME) organization in Defence, MCE carries out capability development activities aimed at providing the necessary geospatial capabilities that are required within MCE and throughout DND and the CAF. To carry out this part of the MCE role, MCE operates a geospatial laboratory which supports a broad variety of MCE-specific projects as well as Army, Navy, and Air Force geospatial requirements that are currently ongoing. Although MCE employs a small cadre of full time staff to manage and operate this lab, there is a heavy reliance on Industry partner support and contracted professional services in order to meet the goals and objectives of the various projects that are ongoing.
