GEOINT Show Daily Day 4

Integrating IntelligencePanelists bring together civilian, intelligence, military and warfighter perspectives.

Focusing directly on the theme of the GEO-INT 2011 Symposium, a panel on Tuesday morning brought together the perspectives of the civilian government, intelligence agency, military service and warfighter on the integration of intel-ligence.

The focus of the panel was on taking a holis-tic approach to intelligence integration and deter-mining how it can enable the defense, intelligence and homeland security communities to accom-plish their missions.

Following are brief accounts of the opening remarks of each of the four panelists.

Kshemendra Paul, program manager, Infor-mation Sharing Environment (ISE), Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Paul explained that the purpose of the ISE is to improve the sharing of terrorism, homeland security, and WMD related information. It cuts across federal government, state and local, private and international organizations, including five core communities--law enforcement, homeland security, defense, foreign affairs and intelligence.

“It’s a distributed and decentralized concept, driven off harmonized policies, common business practices, standards and architectures, with strong privacy and civil liberties protections,” he said.

Paul pointed to three key ideas for responsible

information sharing—standards, stewardship and safeguarding.

“Standards are the foundation for interoper-ability,” he said. “When we look at collaboration and cost reduction, we need to work with stan-dards. That’s not a new concept for this commu-nity, and we’re already working with the Open Geospatial Consortium on bringing some of the standards that are key to this community into our standards framework for the ISE.

“Over time, the linkages in the data are more valuable than the data itself, and we need to make sure that we have effective policies and procedures to allow for stewardship over the lifecycle of data,” he added.

Ed Mornston, director, Joint Intelligence Task Force-Combating Terrorism, Directorate of Analysis, Defense Intelligence Agency.

“The perspective that I bring to this group is from having been involved in combating terror-ism for the past few years,” Mornston said. “What I’ve found is that integration has been an essen-tial element of all aspects of the counter terrorism fight—assessing the threat, communicating to decision makers and then taking action.

“My observation is that in terms of a level of maturity, the counter-terrorism community is

Beyond Full Motion VideoBAE Systems looks ahead to the next level of ISR.

Even as full motion video (FMV) takes

center stage in both the world of ISR and the

fight in Afghanistan, BAE Systems (Booth

529) is looking ahead to the next level in the

evolution of battlefield information.

“Everyone talks about FMV, but that is

going to plateau,” Mike McKinney, director

of ISR Analysis for BAE Systems, said in

an interview Tuesday. “It’s not going to go

away, but it’s going to be used differently.

We’re right at the period of transition from

FMV to ISR.”

Not only is the company looking to

new sensor technologies, such as wide

area persistent surveillance, LiDAR, hyper-

spectral imaging, and ground moving target

indicators (GMTI), but it also is busy laying

the groundwork for the transition through

extensive training and other programs.

“We’re trying to get ahead of the whole

process, so that when it does happen, and

the customer says this is what we need,

we’ve got trained analysts who are ready to

go, and sensors that will be useable on day

one in a way that will satisfy the customer,”

he said.

“We’ve been focusing primarily on

FMV,” said McKinney, whose company has

won over 90 percent of available competi-

tive positions for FMV analysis and is the

largest provider of analytical services to the

intelligence community and Department of

Defense, especially in deployed services.

“But what we want to figure out how to be poised and ready to go

for the next evolution of ISR. As sensors come out, we’re also designing

the training and software to make sure that when it gets to the analyst, it’s

very useable as it comes off the production line,” he added. “These new

technologies are all going to be tomorrow’s FMV.”

For Wes Green, program director, ISR analysis for the company,

one key focus is on streamlining of tradecraft. “That streamlining

starts with when we have analysts sitting with engineers in the design

phase, talking about how in a perfect world this is how we would like

to receive information, and the types of information we would like to

receive, so we can answer the problem sets that are going on in the

community today.

“That’s a critical thing that we as a company bring, because of our

product and manufacturing lines and our services side, and how we

integrate the two together,” Green said.

Another important area is Big Data, or the explosion of informa-

tion available to analysts from sensors

and other sources. “With the revolu-

tion of sensors, you have a tremendous

amount of data that is coming at the

analyst, and it’s greater than what we’ve

seen before,” Green noted. “We’ve

reached the point with data that you can

no longer make a fire hose big enough

to keep shoving it all out, because we

don’t physically have enough eyeballs to

receive that data. So we have to look at

a different approach.”

That’s vital in light of the anticipated

budget situation, noted McKinney. “As

some of the keynote speakers have

said, we’re also going to have to figure

out how to do more with less. How can

we still get all the information we need

from all the information we have, with

fewer people?”

“It’s also a realization of where we

are in the ISR community,” Green con-

tinued. “In the past, FMV was the sup-

ported level of collection. Everything

funneled in around how FMV worked. Now we’re seeing FMV becom-

ing the supporting ISR function, where you see more emphasis on

GMTI, LiDAR, and hyperspectral capabilities to do that find-and-fix

work, and then FMV comes in and is a finishing solution, doing the

‘last tactical mile,’ and then pass that off to an operational element.”

A key new technology is the Autonomous Real-time Ground

Ubiquitous Surveillance (ARGUS) system, which provides multiple

video windows for persistent area surveillance and tracking capabili-

ties for vehicles and dismounted soldiers.

“You’re looking at the ability to maintain persistent awareness

over a 40 sq. km area, and not just maintaining a large overview, but

also 65 independently steerable windows,” Green explained. “When

you talk about Big Data, one ARGUS can push the same number of

feeds that the entire Predator and Reaper fleet pushes right now. With

one sensor being able to do that, it takes a different approach to anal-

ysis so that we can scale our solutions with our customer to do that.

“We can no longer be in a push situation, but need to go to more

of a pull system, where instead of having all that data flow, you define

the critical junctures of analysis, through GMTI, categorize what you

are seeing, and analysts then define that they want to see a certain

portion of the battlefield,” he added.

“What we’re trying to do is approach an analytical paradigm,

where you don’t have to always see all the video. A combination of

multi-discipline intelligence with ISR, such as GMTI or LiDAR, allows

you to understand where the choke points are, so that you can make

the critical decisions,” Green said.

Green also offered some observations on the evolution of ISR and

FMV analysis.

“What we’ve seen in ISR analysis is a change in how the tradecraft

has advanced, because our adversaries haven’t stayed static on the

battlefield. So we’ve had to have an on-

going cycle of tactics and countertac-

tics. One of the things that we used to

answer a lot was the question of “what.’

It was a catalog of observables—two

vehicles approaching and two people

getting out. Now, we’ve advanced the

tradecraft to where the what is not as

important as the who and the why.

“When you talk about who and why,

you’re trying to define the critical points

where it’s an actionable decision on the

battlefield. That’s especially important in

a counterinsurgency campaign, as we

are today, because you want to make

sure you understand the who and the

why when you have adversaries who mix

in and out of the population.

“Getting there requires us to string

our architecture to where you’re doing

predictive battlespace and geospatial

analysis to put your assets in the right

places so you can answer the critical

questions, to prevent enemy freedom of

action and protecting our forces.

“With a sensor like ARGUS, you’ve graduated from target persis-

tence to network persistence. The levels of analysis that go with that

also advance our tradecraft, because now we have to do more work

on nodal analysis, recognizing the critical junctures and understand-

ing the push versus pull system. You have to say, what are the key

nodes that I want to affect the entire network. That’s what we’re talk-

ing about with wide area.

“It is going to be a shift in analysis, and in how numbers of per-

sonnel are going to be employed, and the types of analysis that are

going to be used, because you can’t just think about your own little

patch of the earth, but you have to think about things in terms of 40

sq. km. That’s a big jump analytically,” Green said.

Smartphone as a SensorCompusult app allows capturing and sharing of data.

Compusult (Booth 467) has chosen the GEOINT 2011 Symposium to announce the release of its latest product, GO Mobile.

GO Mobile is an app for mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad and An-droid-based smartphones and tablets, which lets a user access geospatial data and services through secure wireless communications to the cloud. As a compo-nent of Web Enterprise Suite (WES) XI, GO Mobile lets the user share infor-mation with others through a mobile device. Officials can also use the device of their choice for situational awareness and common operating picture functions.

With the app, an iOS or Android device can become a sensor, capturing and sharing situational intelligence, including the device location, imagery, videos, conditions, events, and other parameters. It enhances situational awareness by providing near real-time access to rapidly changing information and alerts. As an added feature of WES XI, GO Mobile supports organizations needing fast, secure, and reliable access to geospatial information for decision support. It of-fers unprecedented availability of geospatial data and extensive capabilities for both novice and expert users. Officials in the military, homeland security, public safety and emergency management communities can search, discover, access, and manipulate vital information for strategic decision making. The general public can use the app as an advanced tool for sharing location-based informa-tion and content among family members and communities of interest.

gorgon StareSNC-lead team captures industry achievement award.

Mike Meermans, vice president of strate-

gic planning for Sierra nevada Corp. (SnC)

(Booth 1017), credits his company’s owner-

ship when asked about the USGIF Intelligence

Achievement Award for industry given to the

SNC-led Gorgon Stare team. “When the Air

Force came to us and asked us to look at put-

ting together a wide area airborne surveillance

system, we had the oppor-

tunity through their [the own-

ers’] leadership to go out and

pick what I’ll call the best of

breed team,” he said.

“We were given the

direction to find state-of-

the-shelf so we could put

together a system very, very

quickly.”

After a rapid survey of

the industry, SNC selected

as primary partners itt

(Booth 437) and mercury

Systems (Booth 1133), with

General Atomics (Booth

645) and AdamWorks be-

ing other members of the

team. Hosted on a long-dwell unmanned aerial

vehicle, each Gorgon Stare today provides un-

interrupted, 24/7 visible and infrared coverage

of city-sized areas. Through a ground station,

the system supplies real-time motion video di-

rectly to theater and tactical forces engaged in

combat and support operations. Motion video

is simultaneously offered in three coverage tiers:

the full field of view, multiple subviews of that

full field of view, and in best-possible resolution

tactical chipouts.

In addition to real-time products for tactical

and theater forces, this information is also avail-

able for near real-time forensic analysis and oth-

er support. The data is archived for long-term

and post-mission investigation and analysis.

In summing up the Gorgon Stare and the

award it won, Meermans said, “We put together

a system that we’re absolutely proud to be as-

sociated with because it’s out saving lives right

now, and to win this award just does nothing

but amplify that pride.”

INNOVATION IN ALL DOMAINS

Follow us on:

Closer to the Sensors Mercury Computer Systems finds technology solutions.

“What Mercury Computer Systems [Booth 645] does really well is that we serve and provide value very close to the sensor,” said Tom Roberts, Mercury’s solutions marketing manager. “What we provide are embedded image processing subsystems that take the input from a sensor and turn it into an image that starts to make sense to a human being.”

In the past, Mercury’s mainly been a provider just of hardware components—sometimes just boards. “We’ve done that quite well, and we sup-port a number of the leading programs for mul-tiple types of sensing: SIGINT, radar, GEOINT. Programs we support with our subsystems include AEGIS, Patriot, Guardrail, SEWIP, JSF and oth-ers,” said Roberts. “As the DoD community as a whole, not just the GEOINT community, moves to provide more cost-effective solutions more quickly, we have stepped up and are providing more complete subsystems. What that allows is that the prime contractor can take this one piece of the overall problem and turn it over to Mercury. We’re experts in image and signal processing, sup-porting many programs. We are able to leverage what we learn in one program to add value for another program. We know how to build rugged real-time image and signal processing subsystems, using multiple processors and high bandwidth data fabrics.

“We also innovate, using the newest technol-ogy.” The Gorgon Stare program is an example of this. “We implemented graphics processors in a design employing a range of other technologies to create an optimized image processing solution,” said Roberts.

Mercury’s subsidiary, Mercury Federal Systems, is part of the Sierra Nevada Corporation (Booth 1017) (SNC)-led team that received the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s 2011 Industry Achievement Award. This prestigious annual award recognizes outstanding accomplish-ments in GEOINT tradecraft by an individual or team from industry. Mercury provided SNC with onboard real-time image processing and storage subsystems, which are key components of the U.S. Air Force’s Gorgon Stare persistent surveillance system, currently deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom.

Virtual CIPNorthrop Grumman announces a virtualized common imagery processor.

Taking advantage of improve-

ments in commodity computer hard-

ware, northrop Grumman (Booth

501) has unveiled a cost-saving soft-

ware-only implementation of the U.S.

Department of Defense approved

common imagery processor (CIP).

The software version satisfies all the

requirements met by its hardware-

centric and industry-standard prede-

cessor, said John Lynch, director of

business development of company’s

C4ISR Networked Systems business

unit. This new approach eliminates the

need for customers to buy hardware,

install it, provide power and cooling,

and charge an administrator with

maintaining everything.

“We’ve taken our hardware-based

image processing and moved it into

a software-based solution that can

provide the same capability within the

footprint that a customer probably al-

ready has at a lower cost,” Lynch said.

The system can take imagery data

down, do preprocessing of the data,

calibration correction of the image,

and then create an industry standard

output for further analysis or process-

ing. The virtual CIP has been success-

fully demonstrated to the Defense

Department’s CIP Cross

Service Integrated Prod-

uct Team. It has been fully

tested to meet all relevant

requirements, including

those related to perfor-

mance. The virtual CIP

provides such features as

imagery chipping, output

product formatting, im-

proved geolocation accu-

racies and artifact correc-

tion.

The virtual CIP was

developed as an inter-

nal investment because

software solutions are in-

creasingly favored by the

Defense Department. Knowing this,

Northrop Grumman’s common imag-

ery processor team repackaged its

proven software into a virtual machine

environment and generated templates

for all the current sensor types that

CIP handles.

Northrop Grumman designed and

built the original CIP, which replaced a

number of tactical imagery platforms

in the U.S. military. With this history,

the company was uniquely suited to

create a software-only CIP that ful-

fills all the conditions imposed on the

hardware version, Lynch said.

In the demonstration, two sepa-

rate missions were run simultaneously

on standard commercial-off-the-shelf

hardware. The virtual CIP sent imag-

ery products to a library and regis-

tered the associated metadata. The

software also sent wireframes and

tracks to several workstations, as well

as outputting the information on a

Google Earth display.

The system will expand the war-

fighter’s ability to receive actionable

intelligence efficiently and it will do so

cost-effectively, Lynch said. “It’s a low

cost solution. Now you’re just buying

the software.”

Massive Data ManagementSGI and Cloudera sign cooperative agreement.

Cloudera Inc., a provider of Apache Hadoop-

based data management software and services,

and SGi (Booth 801), have jointly announced

the signing of an agreement for SGI to distribute

Cloudera software pre-installed on SGI Hadoop

Clusters. SGI, which recently set a world record

performance benchmark for Terasort data process-

ing and analysis leveraging Cloudera’s Distribution

including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and is a member

of the Cloudera Connect Partner Program, will resell

and offer level one support for Cloudera software

and services—including Cloudera University train-

ing courses—to its customers.

Apache Hadoop is a powerful and disruptive

open source technology that addresses the eco-

nomic, flexibility and scalability issues surrounding

massive amounts of enterprise data and enables

actionable insights to be derived from structured

and unstructured data sets. Hadoop, which forms

the infrastructure foundation of many of the world’s

leading social media companies, including Face-

book, LinkedIn and Twitter, has rapidly become a

leading solution to the new challenges generated

by Big Data.

Together, SGI Hadoop clusters and Cloudera’s

software, services and support form a complete,

end-to-end solution for enterprises deploying

Apache Hadoop in performance-intensive environ-

ments. SGI was among the first technology vendors

to embrace and proliferate the use of Apache Ha-

doop in the Federal and enterprise sectors,

and is currently running the largest Hadoop

clusters servers in the world. Cloudera has

pioneered the use of Apache Hadoop in

business applications and was first to make

Hadoop enterprise-ready, delivering best of

breed management software, support and

training services. CDH is the most widely

deployed Hadoop distribution in both com-

mercial and non-commercial environments,

bundling 100 percent pure open source

Apache Hadoop with other leading open

source components in the Hadoop stack.

“We understand the power of Hadoop.

Since the technology’s inception, we have

successfully deployed tens of thousands of

Hadoop servers to our customers,” said Bill

Mannel, vice president of product market-

ing at SGI. “Leveraging Cloudera’s Distri-

bution including Apache Hadoop together

with our SGI Hadoop Cluster, we achieved

a world record Hadoop benchmark for data

processing and analysis—81 percent faster

than the competition. CDH, combined

with Cloudera’s management suite, puts the prom-

ise and potential of Hadoop—and the complete

Hadoop stack—within reach.”

Focus on gEOINtRiverside Research emphasizes people and technology.

The GEOINT 2011 Symposium is a perfect venue to view the physical

results of riverside research’s (Booth 260) complete rebranding over the

past year. It will take a visit to the booth to hear about and understand the

refocusing and reorganization of the company to better support their cus-

tomers and focus energies in support of GEOINT. “Of the 500 people at Riv-

erside, almost 50 percent of are directly working on GEOINT issues, whether

that’s engineers, analysts, operators, or instructors,” said Richard Annas,

Riverside’s president.

“One the key areas that the speakers talked about on the opening day

was the focus on the workforce,” Annas continued. “Part of the problem is

that workforce development tends to lag the sensors—we don’t bring the

right workforce on early enough, we don’t give them the tools, we don’t train

them, and we have a hard time retaining them when the government’s try-

ing to downsize. So we have focused for many years on the education and

training support for advanced GEOINT sensors. We do a lot of this in co-

ordination with universities and consumer agencies. For example we have

certified instructors supporting the Air Force Institute of Technology in devel-

oping senior analysts and managers who understand advanced geospatial

intelligence.

The other thing we’re working on that’s very important for GEOINT is

in the mission planning area. A lot of sensors and systems that we put out

are very complex, but surprisingly the collection management and feasibility

analysis tools that we use in going after targets is often very rudimentary.

The operators, for the most part, don’t have the tools available. One of the

feasibility tools we have developed is the Enterprise Collection Resource Tool

(eCRT). GEOINT attenees can visit our website to see a demo of eCRT using

the Multi-spectral Thermal Imager or GeoEye-1.

“Built on the Analytical Graphics satellite toolkit, we’re putting the mis-

sion planning component on top to help do all of the decision-making behind

the scenes so that the users can just say, ‘these are the targets I’m interested

in,’ and they don’t have to worry about how the satellite or aircraft actually

operates and its constraints,” explained Jim Bower, vice president for strate-

gic planning and business development. “They can just concentrate on their

targets and their needs, and our software coupled with STK does the rest.”

relatively advanced. We’ve developed a lot of best practices of necessity over the last decade. We’ve done a lot of good work on integration, and there’s still a lot of work to be done,” he said.

Mornston offered four key points to con-sider about integration:

“It’s incumbent on each department and agency to be part of that integration. In de-fense intelligence, our leadership has embraced that. They have designated a focal point with-in DIA to be a counterpart to each of the 17 National Intelligence Managers.”

“When we think about intel/ops fusion as a key part of integration, the most telling mea-sure is the role that commanders play. They are fully engaged in all aspects of the fight, and they drive their intelligence officers to answer questions that meet their needs.”

“The appropriate connection between investigative information and directors of in-telligence is something that we really need to pay attention to—between investigators and analysts. Analysts and investigators look at the same things through two very different lenses

and perspectives. We’re not as integrated as we should be.”

“There is an organizational component to achieving integration. Line and block charts matter. Integration is rooted in organizational practices and behavior.”

Major General Mary A. Legere, com-manding general, Army Intelligence and Secu-rity Command; nominated to be Army G-2.

“As the commander of an organization that has many of the Army’s intelligence forc-es, I think about how we deliver that capabil-ity not just to commanders, but also to those preparing to go on patrol. INSCOM’s job is to ensure that we can leverage the power of the community and make sure we make it simple and provide it to the young men and women on point in a digestible form with relevant in-formation.

“We spent the first half of the wars just trying to get the data that was in the disparate networks, only to overwhelm the analysts. Are we as a community taking advantage of everything that industry has learned about processing power and using the cloud to as-sist us?

“For the services, how do we keep the people who are back at home stations or sanc-tuaries involved in the fight? How do we make sure that the networks that we have forward are exactly the networks that are on the desks of the analysts?” Legere asked.

James G. Clark, director, ISR innovations, deputy chief of staff for ISR, Headquarters Air Force.

“We take multiple pieces of software in the real world and make them talk together. In terms of integration, what we’ve tried to do is not reinvent the wheel. Our focus is on mak-ing sure that our brave young people in the field have the best.

“What we’re trying to do in integration, not of intelligence but information, is to get a common operating picture, take multiple pieces of software, and make them talk to one another. I respect the brilliance of the intel-ligence community, but we need to translate the perfect intelligence solutions into simple, easily accessible things, and take all that’s done with intelligence, analysis and sensors, and put it in the hands of the first responders and com-bat forces,” Clark said.

gEOINt helps FEMa but More NeededAligning guidance, goals and capabilities.

In a keynote address, Federal Emergency Management Agen-

cy (FEMA) Administrator William Craig Fugate outlined how the

agency plans for and deals with catastrophic disasters. Whether a

calamity is the result of a devastating earthquake, the detonation

of a weapon of mass destruction, or something else, FEMA’s goal

is the same.

“Go big, go fast—and be smart about it,” Fugate said.

He noted that this aligns with a recently updated presidential

directive about national preparedness that calls for the creation of

a secure and resilient nation. Achieving that outcome requires the

use of geospatial information and tools. Some of what’s needed

already exists as a result of NGA analysts being put in the field to

witness what FEMA personnel actually do in a crisis. Other tools

and geospatial products still have to be created.

FEMA, noted Fugate, coordinates the federal government’s

preparation before a disaster and its response afterwards. In plan-

ning, the agency follows a maximum of maximum approach. Using

these criteria, this year’s Japanese earthquake and tsunami fall

within the parameters of an expected event. Geospatial informa-

tion plays an important role in setting the scope of events that

must be considered possible and in the staging of resources.

As for a response, most of that in the U.S. will come from local

governments, the commercial sector and the public at large. The

last presents the possibility of crowd sourcing as a way to illumi-

nate the extent and nature of a problem. For example, information

from the public about the earthquake that struck the East Coast in

2011 arrived as fast as or faster than that from government agen-

cies.

The power of the many data points provided by smartphones

can be harnessed to improve this information source. Something

as simple as locating where phone com-

munication gaps exist can map out the

extent of a problem. More complex vari-

ations on this approach could allow the

response to a disaster to be adjusted on

the fly. Timely tweaks to a response are

critical, as treating the injured within the

first 72 hours significantly improves their

chance of survival.

What’s more, the advent of smart-

phones means that both the public and

first responders have tools to access critical information. That

data, however, can’t be in some challenging format, such as a PDF

that is difficult to read on a small screen. It also can’t require the

use of an app that is unfamiliar, Fugate said.

“It’s what you do every day that you go to when a crisis hits,”

he pointed out.

He acknowledged that the agency has to do a better job of

providing people with the right geospatial tools and the appro-

priate information. Accomplishing that will, in part, require freeing

data. Another key will be figuring out ways to assure needed se-

curity without compromising performance. Standards could make

both tasks easier.

For both preparation and response, it’s important to keep

in mind that during a disaster, lines of protocol dissolve. Fugate

briefly summarized how the various branches of local, state and

federal governments are supposed to interact during a disaster,

with defined responsibilities and lines of command.

But, this picture isn’t reality, he said. “It doesn’t work that way

in real life. You work as a team.”

DI2EDefense intelligence information enterprise panel showcased key solutions for enterprise-level information sharing.

The Defense Department is launch-ing the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) framework, which will integrate all disconnected information, teams, systems and technologies—creat-ing an all-encompassing system for en-hanced sharing of information and re-sources.

The Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise panel, moderated by Kevin Meiners, Deputy Undersecretary of De-fense (Portfolios, Programs & Resources),

Undersecretary of Defense for Intelli-gence, showcased representatives from the OSD, military services, combat support agencies and the intelligence community, addressed how the DI2E can be leveraged to build the objective capability.

The DI2E will be a single informa-tion warfighting enterprise—for both the Department of Defense and the in-telligence community—that will solidify the exploitation, analysis, production and dissemination of intelligence to high-level

decision-makers down to the troops on the ground. The new architecture will be comprised of cloud-based capabilities, which will aim to reduce the costs of in-frastructure and licensing.

In the face of proposed budget cuts, panelists discussed how the DI2E will continue to be a priority in the face of proposed budget changes. The DI2E ac-quisition process is currently underway and will rely heavily on industry partners for bringing the architecture to life.

At Harris (Booth 137), the theme is what the company is doing to bring GEOINT to the tactical edge. It is highlighting two solution sets, in the fields of communications and video, designed to show how it can take analytical geospa-tial data all the way to the edge and add value along the way.

“The first product is the KnightHawk 3G tactical cellular base station, which is really the epitome of bringing intelligence data to the soldier right at the point of the fight,” explained Ed Zoiss, vice president of advanced programs and technology.

“The base station is a compact size that will fit inside of a HUMVEE or other tactical vehicle. It can network up to 64 soldiers carrying smartphones. The Droids and iPhones, which soldiers know and love, can be carried into the fight with the KnightHawk. The Army has accepted it, and it’s currently being deployed,” Zoiss said.

The other comms product being displayed is Command Access, which is a small, lightweight SATCOM terminal that soldiers could use to receive intel-ligence data wherever they are on the battlefield. It is battery operated and works in C-, X- and Ku-bands.

“One of the key things we’ve seen is that customers want to buy a service. So Harris acquired a company called CapRock, so that now we are the single largest purchasers and provider of bandwidth on the globe,” he noted.

Harris is also showcasing their geospatial intelligence products, in particular the Full Motion Video Asset Management Engine (FAME), which is a video integration platform. “The thing that differentiates this solution, which the Na-tional Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has embraced, from others is that it’s open architecture,” Zoiss said. “We don’t think we’re the only company that has inno-vations. Companies with analytic technology can easily integrate into this plat-form, so that NGA or other customers aren’t locked into a proprietary solution.

“It’s already enabled for the cloud. We’ve spent our own investment to cloud enable that solution, so that it can move quickly into the cloud and search cloud archives, and reside in a much more cost effective environment,” he added.

Expanding CapabilitiesWoolpert acquires GDS.

Yesterday, Woolpert (Booth 1122) announced that it had

acquired Geomatics Data Solutions (GDS), an international

hydrographic and bathymetric survey firm.

“Acquiring two of the world’s leading hydrographic and

bathymetric surveying experts, Woolpert will be able to ex-

pand its geospatial capabilities to provide complete hy-

drographic solutions across the globe,” said Jeff Lovin, CP,

Woolpert vice president and director of photogrammetry and

remote sensing. “Through this acquisition, federal clients such

as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Geological Survey

will be able to obtain coastal and shallow water mapping data

through a single resource.”

Through this acquisition, Woolpert will expand its aerial

and land surveying services to now include hydrographic sur-

veying. GDS will complement Woolpert’s geospatial capabili-

ties with technology and expertise in hydrographic surveying

and data processing, which is critical in providing accurate

9:00 a.M.

Improving Operational Efficiencies with Cross Domain Solutions

Analysts and warfighters require secure access to GEOINT data across multiple networks and the ability to efficiently move that data. With mandated information sharing comes the need to easily access and traverse multiple security domains. Nowhere else is this need more evident than in the intelligence arena – sources are numerous and all-actionable intelligence is time-sensitive. With the need to access upwards of 12 networks, cross domain solutions allow customers to de-clutter workspaces, save power, cooling and hardware costs, while improving productivity, system manageability and streamlining administration. Whether your needs are secure rapid transfer of geospatial imagery to different sensitivity levels, secure browsing across networks, or simultaneous access to multiple networks from a single desktop – RTCS has an operational/accredited cross domain solution to meet your needs.

• Jeremy wilson, Senior Solutions Architect, Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions

9:15 a.M.

The presentation will present a summary of findings in this regard through summaries of conversations/surveys with FMV analysts and provide recommendations and a strategy for developing standards and methods for storing analytical products derived from FMV sources.

• James P. Dolan, Senior Vice President, ISR Systems, Textron Systems Corp.

9:30 a.M.

Discovering geoint Services Utilizing the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise Framework (Di2e-F) Storefront

The Enterprise Registry and Repository (ER2) program developed a new concept Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise Framework (DI2E-F) widget storefront and warehouse. This is a first-of-its kind storefront that will ultimately allow both IC and DoD elements the ability to download and use widgets and other portable and lightweight applications developed by GEOINT users and developers. The demonstration of the tool shows how ER2 as the widget warehouse, will support multiple storefronts across various IC elements and DoD combatant commands on multiple networks.

• Edward J. Lane, Director, Information Sharing Group, Office of Mission Framework & Services, Ground Enterprise Directorate, National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)

9:45 a.M.

geosynchronization and geospatial Enterprise Collaboration

Enterprises focused on GEOINT face emerging challenges including the need to collect, manage and share geospatial intelligence horizontally, vertically and peer-to-peer from Tactical to National levels (and back) in near real-time. In addition, there are growing requirements to eliminate stovepipes and realize enterprise architectures based on open standards for interoperability. This session focuses on the role of GeoSynchronization Services and Applications in this emerging environment. GeoSynchronization provides geospatial enterprises with the capability to receive real-time GEOINT updates from many sources, validate them as needed and then share them with the people and systems that need them. Emerging GeoSynchronization standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium Inc. (OGC) and key enterprise roles will be discussed in this dynamic, fast-paced presentation. The session also highlights new Android smartphone apps for GeoSynchronization under development in partnership with DOD organizations, providing community insight into the rapidly changing world of mobile, interoperable geo-apps.

• Jeff harrison, President & CEO, The Carbon Project

10:00 a.M.

Interoperability – Online and on Demand

The deployment of cloud computing architectures in an Infrastructure Services Provider (ISP)/Application Services Provider (ASP) environment offers many advantages and challenges to the government, industry and academia. These interoperability issues have not been fully explored or understood. This presentation will examine emerging interoperability issues related to implementing online and on demand geospatial services. Apps that are separately developed by government, industry and academia must all be trusted and work seamlessly together. This presentation will identify new challenges and assess potential approaches to successfully implement online, on demand geospatial services.

• Kevin Brown, Technical Director, GEOINT Programs, Intelligence and Information Systems, Raytheon

10:15 a.M.

Leveraging gaps; a Net-Centric UDOP System to Provide an Interoperable PED Environment

The Global Awareness Presentation Services (GAPS) provides a standards-based framework that supports net-centric collaboration by aggregating multiple data types into a time-fused visualization capability through web-enabled services. GAPS is interoperable with ongoing DoD and IC-wide infrastructure efforts such as the Commercial Joint Mapping Tool Kit (CJMTK), NGA’s Geospatial Visualization Services (GVS) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The GAPS is viewer-agnostic, supporting a number of visualization technologies including: Google Earth, Analytical Graphics Inc. Satellite Tool Kit (AGI STK), CJMTK/ArcGIS and OGC.
