The substantiation of the principles of creation and functioning of the Geoinformation Portal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an integral part of the Unified Geoinformation Environment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are shown in the article.

The paper determined that the foundation of the Unified Geoinformation Environment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be a service-oriented architecture (SOA) of distributed geodatabases, that provides a common platform for all subjects and users to access the resources of the Unified Automated Management System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Unified Geoinformation Environment (UGE) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be formed as a set (network) of interconnected geoportals, the purpose of that is to consolidate information on spatial data available in the Unified Automated Management System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, that are processed and provided for use in the form of geoservices as well as creating a single entry points of users into this environment. UGE of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should provide access to data stored in the system of distributed geodatabases. The format and method of using the services should be based on the use of national, international and military standards, that are a single, agreed and approved set of data presentation standards, interfaces, as well as computer programs developed according to the principle of service-oriented architecture for all types of armed forces.
