NGA Builds “Irreversible Momentum”Long hails progress on implementing her vision of putting GEOINT power in the hands of users.

Speaking a little less than a year after her call for putting GEOINT power into the hands of users galvanized the geospatial community, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Director Letitia A. Long yesterday of-fered a progress report on the past year and demonstrated some of the many apps the agency is working on.

“We have irreversible momentum in what we have started here. The demand for GEOINT is rising, and it will continue to rise. We are delivering and we are continuing to deliver,” Long told GEOINT 2011 Sym-posium attendees.

Long began by explaining the frame-work for how she measures progress by the agency, which takes into account content, the open IT environment, customer service and analytic depth. She also explained her three level model for the delivery of services, which includes self service, assisted service and full service.

“Increasingly our users are GIS savvy. They want to be able to serve themselves for the things that make sense,” she said, adding

IC’s It in Budget Crosshairs“We’re all going to have to give at the office,” DNI Clapper tells attendees.

Cost savings and greater efficiencies in

information technology, including expanded

use of cloud computing, will need to provide

half of the spending reductions in intelligence

community budgets over the next decade,

Director of National Intelligence James Clap-

per told the GEOINT 2011 Symposium Mon-

day morning.

Warning attendees, “We’re all going to

have to give at the office,” Clapper bluntly

addressed the challenges for the IC posed

by the need to reduce the federal budget

deficit, which will create what he described

as a markedly different environment from the

ample resources available in the years after

the September 11, 2001, attacks.

In addition to savings in IT, Clapper sug-

gested that the constrained budgets could

have a substantial impact on areas such as

use of commercial remote sensing imagery,

contractor use in general and hiring. At the

same time, however, he pointed to the need

for continued investment in such areas as

cybersecurity, maintaining a robust overhead

architecture, crypto-analysis and foreign lan-

guage training.

Clapper noted that the IC had just “hand-

ed in our homework assignment” to the Of-

fice of Management and Budget,” which calls

for double digit budget cuts over 10 years.

“We’ve had 10 years of growth. But we’re

now going to be in a much different mode,” he

said. “I was around in the early 1990s, when

we were enjoined to reap the peace dividend

engendered by the fall of the Soviet Union. I

hope we have profited from that experience.

We didn’t manage the workforce drawdown

very well, and went through a seven to eight

year period of drawdowns in the community.

We probably cut our all-source capability by

as much as a third, and reduced HUMINT

coverage around the world profoundly. We let

our overhead constellation atrophy.”

Turning to the current process, Clapper

said he has actively engaged the agency di-

rectors and program managers in this pro-

cess. “We tried to abide by some organizing

principles, starting with no ‘salami slicing.’

EFFICIENT DECISION MAKING

that that approach frees up analysts to be “focused on the ‘so what’ and develop new analytic tools.”

The bulk of Long’s remarks, however, were devoted to explaining and demonstrating some of the apps NGA is working on.

In the area of humanitarian relief and disaster response, for example, she explained how a new app had already helped the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other first responders deal with the devastation caused by the recent Hurricane Irene.

Traditionally, she said, the agency prints di-saster atlases of maps and imagery for those trav-eling to the scene. NGA analysts can produce 200 pages of documents an hour, which then are printed, bound and shipped. A typical disaster may involve 200,000 pages of material.

“Sometimes we can be the bottleneck,” she acknowledged. “So we started working on a suite of applications for FEMA as Hurricane Irene was bearing down on the East Coast. We thought, what better way to test our apps than to deploy with a bunch of mobile devices. So that’s what we did.”

Instead of printing atlases, NGA used an app that enabled analysts to produce the equivalent of 6,000 pages an hour on a mobile device once the information was loaded in.

Another example involved the devastating tornado in Joplin, Mo., where the damage was so severe that first responders couldn’t find their way around because many street signs had been destroyed. The app pro-vided homeland security infrastructure data that NGA hosts for the federal government, with hundreds of layers of infrastructure information on hos-pitals, schools and anything else a first responder would need to know—with the simple but powerful addition of a compass to help responders find their way.

Similarly, personnel responding to Irene-caused flooding in New York State were having to use a cumbersome manual process for collecting in-formation on local conditions and transferring it to command posts. It was time intensive and not very efficient.

“We came up with a simple application to allow entry of data from the field,” Long said. “You put in your location and time, and the key at-tributes you want to get back to headquarters. Now everyone has access to the information. You don’t have to go back to the command post to get the information in. It also shows up on the base map.

“It was not only the fact that we made FEMA’s life easier and more ef-ficient, but we also freed up our analysts’ time to do some deeper analytics. As the hurricane took an unpredicted path, we didn’t have to go back into production mode. As we developed the app for data entry from the field, we didn’t have to do all that manual input and generation of maps. So our analysts were able to go to some of those 451 layers of infrastructure data and pull up some information we’d never looked at before.”

As for providing support to military forces, Long described a flight she had taken on a military aircraft the day before from Washington, D.C., to San Antonio. She noted that NGA’s mission includes preparing pre-flight information materials for military aircraft. Currently, that involves print-ing vast quantities of materials—10 million books and charts in 2010, at a cost of $20 million a year.

With an app, she said, “I think I have a better, cheaper and faster way of doing that. You can just pull up a chart and have it at your fingertips and have all the information in one place. It’s going to save us and the military services a lot of time and money.”

Looking ahead, Long offered these thoughts: “In support to military planning and ops, I’d like to move from a data poor to a data rich environ-ment. I’d like to be able to build and provide apps for our military forces for operations, with secure mobile devices, and experiment and use different types of information.

“For integrated GEOINT analysis, it really is the continuation of using all of our traditional and nontraditional sources so that we are creating new value, and focusing on the key intelligence questions,” she said. “We will also do all of this while we are focused on gaining efficiencies, and while we are embedded in our mission partners’ footprints, forward with our fighting forces. We will continue to partner with industry and academic partners, the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence and our international part-ners.”

At a briefing with reporters after her address, Long put NGA’s develop-ment efforts in context of the agency’s many missions. “In addition to all the great work we’ve had underway, we’ve been doing our day jobs. There’s a lot going on in the world. Our op tempo is extremely high to begin with, and at the same time I’m asking the workforce and GEOINT enterprise to modernize and take GEOINT to the next level. I think I’ve showed you that we’ve been busy in the past year, and we’ve delivered concrete applica-tions. We’re going in the right direction, and we’re getting tremendously positive feedback.”

The director also offered praise for industry, which has been busy de-veloping its own apps in response to the vision of putting power in the hands of users. “Industry is a tremendous partner, and they’re doing an out-standing job,” she said. “I want to see as much as I can on the Show Floor. Great ideas come from all sectors, and our industry partners are key to us implementing our vision. We get a lot of unsolicited proposals, and we look at them all. We have strong relationships with our industry partners. I’ve work hard to foster an open relationship, so they understand our challenges.

“I’d give them a very high mark, and I plan to spend hours on the floor over the next few days,” she added.

Listening for AnswersGoodrich (Booth 257) is focused on its

GEOINT message. “There are really two messages here today that we’re trying to bring to the confer-ence,” said Jeff Brown, Goodrich’s vice president of strategic business development. “One, is that we’re operationally deployed. We are on everything from space to the ground—ORS, U2, UK Tornado, Blue Devil, Sand Dragon and Speckles.

“What we’re trying to do through this con-ference is get a better understanding of what the future vision is and where our customers are go-ing,” he continued. “We’ve engaged in a scenario CONOPS to allow users to come in and explain to us what their interests are, what their needs are, what they’re envisioning the future to be, and work with them to understand, from a CONOPS driv-en perspective, what that future might look like.”

The company has a full toolbox of resources in ISR, and been around for about 50 years, in space and at the tactical level. “We’re flying on the U-2, with the SYERS [Senior Year electro-optical re-connaissance sensors] and have been since the late

1950s. It is still operationally very relevant in the current theater of operations,” said Brown. “Not only do we provide the collection solution but also the TPED that goes along with it.”

The company also can apply its technologies for commercial use as well. “We actually have a couple examples of that. We have our CA-247, which is an IR, wide-area imaging camera that’s flown today in theater on the Blue Devil program,” said Brown. “It is also being applied in a commer-cial architecture with a commercial business model along the U.S. border.”

At GEOINT and the marketplace in general, Goodrich is, according to Randy Welp, director of PED, “Seeking to broaden people’s understand-ing of our capabilities, because I think when you look at Goodrich you see a company that builds sensors and you may not necessarily recognize that we have operationally deployed tasking, process-ing, exploitation, dissemination capabilities. The second piece is we think that GEOINT provides a great opportunity not to necessarily sell a current

product but listen to what the customer is looking for in the future.”

Be AgileAstrium combines existing and new capabilities.

“We are bringing together a variety of capabilities into service prod-ucts that services the entire GEOINT community, and it comes with several components,” said John Schumacher, Astrium/EADS North America (Booth 379) vice president, space. “Be agile, is our company motto and our company goal is to become even more efficient, more customer-facing, and more focused.

“We’re bringing together satellite capabilities in increasingly custom-er-facing service products. “The beauty of what we bring is that we’re a full-service commercial data provider, across the spectrum, so we look at it as getting a commercial set of optical and radar capabilities and provid-ing them to the customer in a way that meets the customer requirement. That’s where we think we’re going to provide some unique capabilities.”

Astrium is focused on taking existing capabilities and improving and enhancing them over the next several years. “With that spectrum of capa-bilities we can really can meet a lot of different customer needs.”

An example of Astrium’s technology on display at GEOINT is the Eagle Vision set up outside, which is a fused capability for U.S. Air Force. The Air Force also has the capability with portable ground receiving sta-tions that are up and operational to provide real time delivery of our SPOT optical and TerraSAR radar data to provide immediate support in disaster relief efforts.

The company is also involved in the development of the World Dem, which is using the TandemX to create a HRTI3 global dem, which will pro-vide a highly accurate digital elevation model when compared to the current SRTM2 dem that’s available for the military. The second is that Astrium

is launching a service called Go Monitoring, that uses both radar and opti-cal assets to create intra-day revisit over the same area, provide near real-time intelligence to people on the ground who need to have actionable intel-ligence right away. “Very exciting for us is that we are launching our first 50 cm optical satellite, Pleiades—around December 16,” said Schumacher.

“It’s five satellites we’re launching in three years—we’re moving from the PPP toward completely privately invested world for some of our satel-lites,” Schumacher continued.

“I think the exciting set of prospects, especially in the geo-informa-tion solutions marketplace, and to look at how we’re uniquely bringing together a constellation of multi-resolution, radar and optical satellites that integrate to deliver real solutions that solve real customer problems, both on the military side of things and the commercial side as well—the whole spectrum,” Schumacher concluded.

Air Force Master Sergeant Troy WIlkerson, with the Eagle Vision program, describes key points to Astrium Vice President Space, John Schumacher and KMI Media Group Editor-in-Chief Jeff McKaughan.

Visualization and ExtractingITT introduces product for extracting features from LiDAR

In the middle of GEOINT 2011, itt Visual information

solutions (Vis) (booth 437) released a new interactive soft-

ware environment for visualizing and extracting 3D features

and products from LiDAR data. The software allows LiDAR

data to be brought in, extracted and refined, and then ex-

ported out to standard geospatial applications and products.

The middle step is an important one, said Beau Legeer,

vice president of product marketing for ITT VIS. Automated

algorithms may, for example, be tasked with identifying

buildings in a scene from a point cloud of LiDAR readings.

The ability to easily apply human expertise to the problem

can help eliminate artifacts, thereby removing problems and

improving follow-on analysis. This is a capability the new

ITT VIS software, which is called E3De, offers.

“An analyst can look at the results of an automatic ex-

traction and just correct it if need be. So if it tries to look for a

building and if it misses a roofline, just by a little bit, you can

go in there and just snap it back into place,” Legeer said.

In addition to buildings, the new software allows users

to create 3D products that include trees, power lines and power poles.

Part of the process can involve a fly-through of a realistic scene, which

can help in the refinement of the results. After refinement, the 3D products

can be exported so that applications such as either ENVI or ArcGIS can

do subsequent analysis.

Asked why the software is being released now, Legeer had two an-

swers. The first is that the GEOINT Symposium is a great audience for

such a product. The second is that the cost of acquiring LIDAR point

clouds is dropping, with a predictable result.

“LiDAR is becoming so prevalent,” Legeer said.

That didn’t work well before, and it’s a way

of avoiding hard decisions. It assumes that

everything we do in intelligence is of eqzual

value, and that’s not the case.

“We’ve tried hard to protect our people,

and to do it more rationally than we did the

last time, by ensuring we continue to hire, so

that we bring in new blood into the IC each

year,” he said, adding, “We must sustain and

protect research and development.”

Even so, Clapper made clear that tough

times could be ahead for many. “As much

as I hate to say it to this group, we are go-

ing to have to reduce our contractor profile.

As someone who was a contractor for six

years, I am the first to acknowledge the

hugely important role they play in the IC. But

we’re all going to have to share in the pain.”

An area where there is huge potential for

achieving savings and promoting integration

is in IT, Clapper noted. “In our FY 12 request,

somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of

that request is for things labeled as IT. So if

there is an area where we can bring about

efficiency and savings, that’s it.

“Specifically, the technological advanc-

es in cloud computing offer great potential

for the IC. We put together a team of IC

leaders, which has met for an intense 30

day efficiency study to try to determine our

own destiny,” he continued. “We’re trying to

keep our CIOs connected with our chief fi-

nancial officers. This effort is led by the IC

CIO, Al Tarasiuk, and Dawn Meyerreicks, the

assistant director of national intelligence for

acquisition, technology and facilities. This

group has found substantial opportunities

to accelerate integration across the IC, by

integrating a common IT architecture, while

allowing for unique, agency specific capa-

bilities.

“If we execute this right, it will allow us

to operate more effectively and efficiently,

improve IC integration, information sharing,

security and privacy, preserve our mission

capabilities, have common access and com-

mon improved user experience, and increase

confidence in the IC’s handling of personal

information—and save money,” he vowed.

“I’ve established a stretch goal that over

10 years, we can accomplish one half of the

needed savings through IT efficiencies,” he

said. “The focus now is on eliminating redun-

dant IT systems across the IC, providing a

more defensible system with greater mission

capacity than any individual IC agency can

do on its own. I’ve asked the agency CIOs

to create and deliver an implementation plan

this December. That will lay out the specifics

for the way ahead. It will call for some invest-

ment in the near years, and hopefully reap

the benefits in the later years.”

As an example of other ways to achieve

savings, Clapper cited the area of overseas

facilities. He also emphasized that even as

future hiring is limited, the IC should con-

tinue to seek the goal of increased diversity.

Carlson Outlines NRO VisionSatellite agency seeks spending cuts while maintaining aggressive launch schedule.

A d d r e s s -

ing the GEOINT

2011 Sympo-

sium on Mon-

day morning,

National Re-

connaissance

Office (NRO) Di-

rector Bruce A.

Carlson outlined

his vision for a lean, cost-reducing organi-

zation that nevertheless has and is continu-

ing to maintain an aggressive schedule of

satellite launches.

Noting that the agency had recently

completed six launches in just seven

months, he reported that it would under-

take four more launches in as many months

next year.

At the same time, he said, NRO has,

despite its relatively small size, been one

of the largest contributors to proposed

budget cuts, achieving savings on all its

platforms and offering incentives to con-

tractors to save costs. “We cut a great deal

of money, but without sacrificing our core

capabilities,” he said.

Carlson also addressed the Sympo-

sium’s theme of intelligence integration.

“We have several integrated intelligence

programs that are either in development or

operation today,” he said. “We have three

Joint Collaboration Cells, which have been

certified by the Director of National Intelli-

gence, and we’re very excited about them.”

Outlining his approach to integration

and intelligence delivery, Carlson observed,

“We believe that if you can move your abil-

ity to deliver farther and farther to the left

[in time], to those who need it immediately,

then you will have the most impact.”

A major problem has to do with the

fact that 95 percent of the geospatial intel-

ligence NRO produces, and 90 percent of

the signals intelligence, are classified at the

Secret collateral level. “That means that the

bulk of what we hand out is relatively easy

to distribute to people in the field, because

of its classification level. The vast majority

of it is not Top Secret. Yet only 5 percent

of our soldiers have access to that data,”

he said.

Through collaboration with key intel-

ligence leaders, however, NRO has been

able to prove that it can get data in the field

quickly.

Moving to the CloudEMC2 and the age of big data.

“The bottom line is, no other company has the technologies, the family of

game-changing technologies, that transform intelligence, surveillance, and re-

connaissance, full motion video,” said John Custer, emC2’s (booth 800) direc-

tor, federal strategic missions and programs. “VM Ware, Isilon Storage, scales

out, not up. NetWitness for deep packet inspection and network security, a

whole family of RSA securities for the network, Greenplum, big data analytics.”

“Today, General Alexander talked about the cloud—moving to the cloud,”

said Custer. “That is what this company does. We build, in conjunction with

Cisco and VM Ware, the Virtual Computing Environment, builds a V block.

Put your apps on top of it and you have a cloud. General Alexander and the

DNI talked about data center consolidation—hundreds and hundreds of data

centers, every agency has them. That is what this company does. We consoli-

date, we virtualize architectures with VM Ware, and we’ve done that in every

company that we’ve acquired. We’ve acquired many of companies over the

past 10 years with hundreds of data centers; we’ve shrunk those down now to

a single, overarching data center.

“This is the age of big data. That’s what we call it, and many of the speak-

ers this morning talked about big data. Unstructured file data: how do you

store that? How do you tag it so you can warehouse and then retrieve it, dis-

cover it? It’s a huge conundrum, and with our Isilon storage product, which

is built for that kind of storage, unstructured file big data, and our Greenplum

predictive analytics for big data, is state of the art.”

The question that Custer asks is, “Number one: what are you going to do

with those petabytes of unstructured data? How are you going to do real-time

analytics of that problem? All we want is a chance. Give us a chance to look

at your problem, whether it’s EMC Consulting or EMC Engineers and Solu-

tions; we will be competitive in price and we will present you with tomorrow’s

technologies today.”

Imagery ServicesGeoEye and Google sign multi-year enterprise agreement.

In breaking GEOINT news, GeoEye, Inc.(Booth 413), announced it signed a multi-year enterprise agreement with Google Inc.(Booth 147) to license access to Google Earth Builder, Google’s cloud-based map publishing platform. GeoEye is making this investment as part of its strategy to increase online access to its high-resolution color imagery. GeoEye will be using Google Earth Builder to deliver a new set of imagery services that will make it easy for any Google Earth or Google Maps user to access imagery across GeoEye’s vast archive. GeoEye will position these new imagery ser-vices as an extension of its EyeQ online access portfolio.

Since 2008, GeoEye has worked with Google to publish millions of square kilome-ters of GeoEye-1 imagery to Google Earth and Google Maps. Google users have been able to take advantage of GeoEye’s high-resolution satellite imagery to gain unique insight into our world. GeoEye is investing in Google

Earth Builder because it provides a simple way to address the needs of many government and commercial customers who want access to GeoEye’s broader archive and recent new col-lections. With over one billion downloads of Google Earth to date, this provides GeoEye a simple way to make its imagery accessible to a broader audience.

Tarun Bhatnagar, Google’s head of Enter-prise Geo Americas, said, “We’re excited that GeoEye will be the first geospatial data pro-vider to use Google Earth Builder. Google Earth Builder is designed to let organizations upload, process and store their geospatial data in Google’s cloud. Employees can use famil-iar tools, Google Maps and Google Earth, to easily and securely share and publish mapping data. Enterprise customers will benefit from the quick, cloud-based access to GeoEye’s high quality and most current satellite imagery.”

Tony Frazier, GeoEye’s senior vice presi-dent of marketing, said, “We are committed

to investing in initiatives that put GeoEye’s high-resolution imagery into the hands of us-ers as quickly as possible. This new offering will augment the imagery that we currently make available via Google Earth and Google Maps with premium access to our most recent collections and our broader archive that con-tains over 500 million square kilometers of imagery.”

GeoEye is launching a new publicly avail-able Google Earth Builder layer to highlight examples of the ways GeoEye imagery is mak-ing a difference in the lives of individuals around the world. Recently, GeoEye’s imagery, in partnership with the company’s Founda-tion, helped researchers in Mali determine spatial measurements between bodies of water and health centers in areas plagued by malaria. The insight gained from the maps developed via this initiative will be shared with public health officials in Mali to help combat the dis-ease.

Persistent SurveillanceLogos tackles the hard problems.

Logos Technologies is different from some in the GEOINT field in one important way, said David Luber. The deputy director of the company’s persistent surveillance division, Luber said Logos either has or will soon have its products deployed in theater. One is the lightweight expeditionary airborne persistent surveillance for unmanned aircraft. Another is an aerostat-based wide area persistent surveillance sensor called Kestrel.

The immediacy of deployments parallels the surveillance prod-ucts themselves and that makes them an unusual offering from a small, private company. “We’re go straight to the tactical edge,” said Luber. “It goes literally straight down to the squad leader.”

In doing this, the company’s systems translate data gathered im-mediately into actionable intelligence suited for warfighters in the field. Logos was able to achieve this feat because it has a unique mix of employees. Within its 200 person workforce are those with advanced degrees and those who served in the armed forces on the battlefield itself. That gives Logos personnel that can tackle technol-ogy and others who understand the needs of warfighters. Together, that yields a winning combination.

The company provides end-to-end research and development of both hardware and software. It will also send out the analysts and others for field support. Logos is therefore supplying the entire

package, from the lab to deployment. Importantly, additional analy-sis can be done on the data, as it is not discarded.

In addition to persistent surveillance, Logos is also working in cyber and alternate energy domains. All represent significant chal-lenges for both government and commercial customers.

As Mark Salvador, deputy director of the company’s technol-ogy division, explained this trio by saying, “We look for the hard problems that the agencies and our customers and the government are trying to solve.”

Unbiased AnalysisCALNET offers solutions and solution options.

First time GEOINT exhibitor CAL-NET (Booth 815) differs from many other firms on the show floor in a signifi-cant way, said Dwayne Squires, assistant vice president of the intelligence analysis division. The privately held company provides a variety of intelligence support services, information technology solu-tions, language services and global avia-tion services.

This breadth of expertise is not what sets them apart, though. It’s what the company doesn’t do that makes it differ-ent.

“Being one of the few companies that don’t sell software or products, we provide a very good, unbiased opinion set to the government when they really need it. Our analysts have no pressure to select a particular thing,” Squires said.

Offering expert opinions has paid off for the 20 year old company. It made lists for fastest growing firms several times in the past few years. Over the last decade, it also changed its focus somewhat and expanded the range of its activities.

“We’ve done things around the world. We’ve have people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We do a lot of GEOINT now,” Squires said.

For instance, CALNET is a prime

contractor for INSCOM Omnibus III, for which it conducts intelligence analy-sis, C4ISR support, and training sup-port. It also assisted in the establishment of JIEDDO’s Counter IED Operations Integration Center in 2006. Today it provides support across the intelligence community, including for DIA, NGA, NSA and the military services.

On the language services side, CAL-NET provides native speakers to support Army Combat Brigade training at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. and elswhere. It also provides sup-port services to U.S. forces in Arabic, Kurdish, Pashto and Dari.

The company also provides IT solu-tions. Here CALNET helps with soft-ware development, information assur-ance, systems engineering and help desk support. Some of its core competencies in this area include enterprise portfolio management, architecture, design and implementation. The company supports a number of government agencies in this way, with NSA being one.

The thing that ties this diverse set of services together is that CALNET sells the same thing in every area. As Squires explained, “We’re selling senior expert personnel.”

adding the world to SimulationVT MÄK announces bundling discount.

Vt mÄK (booth 166) has initiated a special ter-

rain bundle that makes it easier for organizations to

add the entire world into their existing simulations.

The bundle means that upgrades to existing systems

can take advantage of whole Earth elevation and im-

agery, rich 3-D terrain, and large area paging terrain,

and provide a central repository to serve their own

terrain data.

The bundle of MÄK’s VR-TheWorld terrain server

and VR-inTerra terrain agility API includes a significant

cost savings.

“With this special terrain bundle, your simula-

tion applications can break out of the mold of simple

DTED terrain and take advantage of innovations in

terrain technology,” said the company.

Moving into the cloud will improve security, lower costs, and boost performance, U.S. Army General Keith Alexander told a packed room during his keynote. In asserting this, he should be taken seriously. Alex-ander is commander of U.S. Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency, and chief of the Central Security Service.

What’s more, in this brave new world of cyber-attack and -defense, there is a role to play for GEOINT. The action may be virtual, but even-tually it all ties back to someone located in the real world.

“Placing them on a map is very helpful,” Alexander said.According to Alexander, one reason for the push to cloud-based

computing lies in the increasing number of attacks on both govern-ment and commercial systems. There are millions of devices in the De-partment of Defense, a number that guarantees that some will not be patched with the latest security fixes. As a result, a persistent adversary will be able to get in, and data from the commercial sector shows that intruders are often in place for months before being detected.

Once inside a network, some adversaries will no longer be content to merely siphon off data. As shown by accidental power outages in both the U.S. and Russia, it’s possible for software to cause severe damage to physical infrastructure.

“We now have a high probability of destructive attacks,” Alexander said. “There’s a need for us to act.”

That realization led to discussions with those on the offensive side of U.S. cyber warfare efforts about what would be the most difficult architecture to attack. The answer that came back was to go virtual and into the cloud.

Implementing a cloud-based system would benefit security in a number of ways, Alexander said. For one thing, updates to devices would be more automatic. In addition, it would remove many of the vulner-abilities presented by mobile devices, which represent a tremendous op-portunity and danger.

In addition there are a number of non-security benefits. Analysts will have an easier time doing their jobs. Today, every database has its own se-curity manager. As a result, getting access to a legacy database for a single query requires being authenticated for that database. A good chunk of an analyst’s time is currently consumed with this seemingly simple access task. Going to a cloud will make an analyst’s job orders of magnitude easier, Alexander predicted.

A cloud-based approach can also save significant IT money. For in-stance, the number of help desks in a network could eventually fall from hundreds to just two, the number of apps could drop from thousands to 250, and the number of data centers could be slashed significantly. All told, Alexander said a 30 to 40 percent savings is achievable.

A final benefit is faster performance. Alexander related how a re-gional gateway set up in Iraq helped warfighters. Previously, information was shipped from Iraq for analysis, with a turnaround time measured in hours. By building a cloud support structure in the region, that time was shortened significantly, and this was credited with helping to achieve success in Iraq.

“The cloud isn’t just one cloud,” Alexander said in summing up this approach.

The National Security Agency is in the process of transitioning all

of its databases to the cloud, with NSA Georgia, Texas and Hawaii running pilots. The goal is to have the initial phase of the switch done by the beginning of 2012. The U.S. military has also re-leased a secure cloud implementation to the open source community, in part to have the community ferret out any flaws. Another benefit is that a more secure cloud will percolate through the commer-cial sector, helping to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.

Of course, a cloud may be more secure but it is not invulnerable. Another change that is being implemented under the auspices of U.S. Cyber Command is active defense at the perimeter. Today’s anti-virus and malware protection is largely static and so is like a fixed line of fortresses that can be bypassed. Knowing that intruders will make their way in, another solution be-ing pursued is the development of teams that can detect and eliminate adversaries much more quickly than the months it can take today.

All of this will take the development of special techniques and the training of people with the right skills. Alexander noted that industry could be a partner in this, since cyber security is a common problem. But he also indicated that more would be needed from the military, particularly in the realm of skilled people.

As Alexander said, “We have to grow a cyber-force within the depart-ment.”

Go VirtualGoing to the cloud improves security and saves money, says U.S. Cyber Command.

GENErAL SESSION PANELS

9:15 a.M. - 10:15 a.M.

Integrating Intelligence

The theme of GEOINT 2011 is “Forging Intelligence Integration.” The demand that we in the Defense, Intelligence and Homeland Security Communities must do more with less while accomplishing our National Security objectives is never more real than now. To be more effective and efficient we need to ensure intelligence is being integrated in all that we do. This panel will take a holistic approach to intelligence integration and how it can better enable us to succeed in our collective mission. This idea of Forging Integrated Intelligence isn’t DNI- or even IC-centric but rather applicable and beneficial to all charged with protecting the interests of the United States and its Allies.

• James g. Clark, Director, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Innovations; Deputy Chief of Staff for ISR, Headquarters U.S. Air Force

• Mg Mary a. Legere, U.S. Army, Commanding General, United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM)(Legere has been nominated for promotion to lieutenant general and assignment as Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2, United States Army.)

• Kshemendra Paul, Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment, Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)

11:30 a.M. - 12:30 P.M.

Forging Collaboration in the Coalition Environment

Forging intelligence integration is not only an issue for the security of the United States, but also for our coalition and allied partners. Enabling coalition operations is critical to successful operations in every major U.S. military operation today. Creating a sustainable network and a fully integrated intelligence environment for real time collection and analysis to impact operations is achievable. The concept of “Need to Share” overrides the concept of “Need to Know” in order to create effective partners and successful coalition operations. LTG Michael Flynn will lead a panel of senior officers from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, as they discuss the challenges faced integrating intelligence in the Afghanistan coalition environment.

INTErOPErABILITY TECH TALKS

9:00 a.M.

harvesting Named geographic Features from Raster Maps

Raster maps contain a great deal of geospatial information and are available for areas throughout the world. However, the data contained in the maps is usually locked up in the raster format of the map and it is quite challenging to use the data to integrate with other sources. This talk presents a general approach to process raster maps and turn the data on a map into vector layers that does not rely on any prior knowledge and requires minimal user effort. This presentation will show that our approach can handle raster maps with varying map complexity, color usage and image quality.

• Craig a. Knoblock, Research Professor, Geosemble Technologies and University of Southern California

9:15 a.M.

accessing Massive 3D Image Datasets

3D technologies are becoming both commonplace and essential in geointelligence operations. 3D data sets are now being generated by both LIDAR and Dense 3D Extraction systems using standard frame imagery and full motion video. Urban Robotics’ PeARL system is actively used in multiple theaters of operations by the U.S. Department of Defense. Urban Robotics specializes in Dense 3D Extraction, in which every pixel from the hundreds of billions collected on each flight is repositioned into 3D space. The process is extremely computationally exhaustive, but creates a final product that has immense intelligence value. Through the foundation of LIDAR systems, the marketplace has developed both industry standards for point cloud data files (LAS), and for tools to view, modify and exploit the 3D datasets. Unfortunately, many of these standards fail to scale to 100’s of billions of points. In our engagements downrange, we hit these core interoperability issues of scaling and custom software installations, as we created massive point clouds from our data products. To solve these interoperability issues, we came upon interoperability with LIDAR/LAS, WebGL and 3d Movies to help get 3D datasets into the hands of our users.

• Isaac Zaworski, PED/Analysis Coordinator, Urban Robotics Inc.

9:30 a.M.

harvesting Open-Source geospatial Information with Open-Source tools

This presentation describes an ongoing research and development project that seeks to enable safeguards analysts to efficiently and effectively use open source geospatial information by leveraging web-based information technologies in novel ways. The authors have surveyed a number of open source GIS tools with the goal of integrating and/or modifying them to create an easily learned, interoperable toolset. Such a toolset is designed to systematically extract, organize and store geospatial data from the Internet. Since open source software is by definition fully available to developers, it is ideally suited to customization to better fit specific use-cases, such as nonproliferation analyses.

• Denise Bleakly, Geospatial Analyst, Sandia National Laboratories

9:45 a.M.

Large Scale Fault tolerant Preprocessing and Distribution of Map Imagery

In this effort, we describe a cloud architecture built on open source software that provides high availability image processing framework for georeferenced image data. We leverage Hadoop, MapReduce and HBase to deliver map imagery to end users with our cloud implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Web Map Service (WMS). The architecture is fault tolerant, highly scalable and can handle many terrabytes of imagery. This architecture has indexed imagery, is easily searchable and can be continually updated without loss of uptime for the running WMS. We describe the original use case of this architecture, which was developed to aid in disaster relief.

• andrew Levine, Research Engineer, TexelTek/TASC

10:00 a.M.

Effectively Managing tremendous Data growth with Limited Resources

This presentation focuses on how to architect a storage management solution for the unique challenges of large unstructured data environments. Specifically, how large digital files are managed within a storage infrastructure and how a cost- effective tiered storage management system can be implemented. Advancements in full motion video, imagery generation and geospatial technologies, like those used in the military and intelligence agencies, are driving the growth in raw video footage. This will also discuss how a major, international television broadcaster transitioned from managing silos of rich media content to one that interoperates across multiple platforms/regions and leverages a private-cloud architecture to centralize, integrate and streamline operations.

Building an Open application Framework for the aggregation, analysis and Dissemination of Spatially Referenced Data Sets

Remote sensing operations generate a wide range of spatially referenced data sets, the Situation Awareness Fusion Engine (SAFE) is a platform designed to aggregate these data sets (raster, vector and LIDAR) in a single location for analysis and dissemination. Application interoperability was a primary consideration in the system’s design and was achieved by leveraging existing web standards defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). As a result, the SAFE is an open analysis framework capable of accepting data from and serving data to a wide range of software platforms.
