Asset Management:How Army IGI&S is Supporting Mission Readiness

IGI&S Program

Army Installation Geospatial

Information and Services (IGI&S)

IGI&S MissionEnhance critical decision

making for the Army’s Soldiers, Families and Civilians by providing standardized

geospatial products and services.

IGI&S Vision

Decision makers use accessible, authoritative and

integrated geospatial data and capabilities.

Program Description

The IGI&S Program provides a unified approach for the creation, maintenance, management, and dissemination of Army installation

geospatial data. The IGI&S Program was established to consolidate and focus Army efforts in utilizing geospatial information, including associated systems and resources, improve accountability and to

increase the level of credibility of geospatial information and its originating sources.

IGI&S Program Objectives

Provide authoritative geospatial data, integrated with Army, DoD and other Federal agencies, to

empower decision makers at all levels.

Provide transparent program direction, communicate to stakeholders, and ensure products

and services maximize value.

• Program formally established in 2005.

• Responsibilities – OACSIM responsible for establishing Army IE&E IGI&S direction and priorities including, but not limited to, budgeting; policy and guidance; software licensing and distribution; geospatial data collection, standardization, acquisition; and support services.

• Technology – OACSIM maintains an authoritative HQDA geospatial data repository for all Army IE&E geospatial data and makes this data discoverable via the Army Installation Atlas (AIA) – a lightweight ArcGIS for Portal WebMap viewing application and WebMap Services.

How IGI&S Supports Mission Readiness

• People - Effective real property and geospatial data management is a shared responsibility. OACSIM is working to promote a culture that removes stove-piped data silos and thinking by promoting having installation Real Property and IGI&S staff working together to improve data quality leading to an increase in sustainment funding to the installation and improved overall business decision making.

• Processes - Improving real property management enhances mission readiness. Accurate (aligned) RP and GIS data allows Army leadership to align facilities to existing requirements. Transparent, repeatable processes makes real property data collection easier and more consistent.

• Systems & Technology - Stream-lining existing technology used to record real property data improves the Army user experience.

• Policy & Guidance - Mission aligned Real Property and IGI&S Program policies and guidance enables Army readiness and promotes timely decisions.

AIA is the Army Installation, Energy and Environment’s overarching geospatial solution leveraging data (geospatial, real property, facility ratings, space utilization, and requirements planning) to create web maps, web applications, and web services. AIA enables alignment of spatial and non-spatial data across Army business systems to quickly and efficiently enhance the user's ability to make accurate and timely decisions.

Key Highlights & Benefits:• Can be accessed from any DoD computer with a Common Access Card. • OACSIM IGI&S created Army base map serves as the foundational map. • Customizable groups to enable varying security levels required by data proponents.• Backdrops can be added including, but not limited to, streets, terrain, satellite

imagery, or topographic data. • Simple search tools for finding installations, sites, or specific assets.• Maps can be printed or shared as a web link with other authorized users. • Based on COTS technology from Esri.

Army Installation Atlas (AIA)

AIA United States Leases Web App

• Lease data obtained from multiple sources.• Quickly geo-enables currently tabular data and queries what

government facilities are nearby with available excess space per Army requirements data.

• Enables future predictive analysis for new space requirements based on desired address, category code, square foot requirement, and year to implement.

Previous Method of Analysis

Current Method of Analysis

Army IGI&S Asset Management / Readiness Scenario

• Installation Status Report - Infrastructure (ISR-I) Quality Ratings (Q-Ratings) measure the core components of a building, such as the roof, walls, foundation, etc. From those ratings, a cost to bring poor and failing buildings up to their original build standard (no modernization) can be established.

• Standardized ISR-I data analysis across the Army has shown that family housing at Fort Shamrock is poor or failing. Army Leadership has determined that the analysis is valid and concurs with making improvements to prevent further deterioration for specific family housing units.

• Combining tabular ISR-I data with the geospatial data enables decision makers to generate and justify a phased improvement plan based on key indicators, for example, ISR-I Q-Ratings and cost-to-bring-to-standard data, for Army family housing buildings.

AIA Asset Quality Viewer

James Bauer –Esri Solution Engineer

Designing and Developing Tools Phased Implementation of the Quality Viewer

Key Usage Patterns

• Monitor and manage operations/assets- IoT (e.g., sensor feeds)- Provide common operational picture

• Event management- Situational awareness, emergency management- Visualize assets, personnel, activities, weather

• Executive summaries- Visualize and compare business data- Reporting dashboard

Dashboard Types• Can be broadly categorized into 2 general types

1. Interactive → End user interacts with the dashboard to obtain more info- Can apply actions and selectors for an interactive UE- E.g., Click one element, affects changes in other element(s)

2. Unattended display → Designed to provide updates, no interactivity with end user- Typically consume data sources that update, elements would

reflect updates- E.g., Real-time data, IoT

Dashboard as a Tool

• Brings data together in a single display- Determines how content is displayed in app

• Composed of elements- Map, list, chart, etc.

• Works with many ArcGIS data sources- Online content and web services- Field collection data- Sensor data, social media,

GPS locations, etc. - Real-time data

Adding Elements to a Dashboard

1. Select element

2. Configure properties

- Appearance

- Data source and formatting

- Will vary depending on the element type

3. Place in dashboard layout

Ex: Adding a serial chart

Dashboard Elements

• Header• Left Panel• Map and Map Legend• Serial Chart• Pie Chart• Indicator• Gauge• List• Details• Rich Text

Data Options

• For Serial Chart and Pie Chart elements• Choosing categories option

1. Grouped Values

2. Features

3. Fields

Layout options

• Elements can be positioned in any combination in a dashboard- Exceptions: Header and Left Panel

• Elements can be stacked or grouped- Group elements

- Aggregate into a single unit

Interactivity

• 2 concepts1. Action → When an event is applied to a source element, a target

element responds- Possible actions: Filter, Flash, Pan, Zoom, and Set spatial extent

2. Selector → User interface (UI) control on the Header or Left Panel that triggers an action

Cybersecurity for Mission Readiness – A Model

Fundamental Cyber Problems that GIS can help you solve

• What are the impacts to your mission, operations, business activities, critical systems, or critical infrastructure from a Cyber Attack, IT outage or impairment?

• How do you prioritize the work of your IT Team or Cyber Security Team in the context of your most important missions, operations, business activities, critical systems, or critical infrastructure?

• How do you provide shared situational awareness across your organization?

• How can you refine your Cyber Forensics Analysis?

The Cyber Supply Line• A vector of devices and network paths

• Cyber Supply Line (CSL) is a consistent path through the infrastructure • CSL focuses resources on only the devices that are critical• Managing data flows is similar to traffic routing; an Esri core competency
