5. Evolution of HIFLD - Participation

6. UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) Product Lines Vector Elevation Imagery • Compilation of ~475 Vector layers comprised of Commercial, Federal and State level Acquisitions. • Delivers Common Operational Data to the GEOINT Analyst • Total number of Users: 500,000 plus • Acquire unclassified high-resolution ortho-imagery (12 inch GSD or better) over HSIP 133 major urban areas of the U.S. – 2 to 4 year refresh schedule • Acquire unclassified high-fidelity 1 meter elevation data over HSIP 133 major urban core areas of the U.S. – 5 year refresh schedule “HSIP Gold is the most widely used infrastructure data set across the Federal Government.” – Ms. Caitlin Durkovich, Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, DHS UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

7. Relationship to National Policy & Directives • HIFLD supports national directives for operations and critical infrastructure using best available data • Priorities informed by national policies - PPD 8/21, NSDI, NSG… • Supports Digital Government and Information sharing strategies – facilitates discovery and access to common data • Facilitates partnerships across communities - civil, defense, intelligence, and private sectors • Provides feedback mechanism for data providers to understand data usefulness and quality

8. National Geospatial Policy Landscape GEOCONOPS and HSIP Public Laws / U.S. Codes OMB Circulars Presidential Directives Executive Orders Digital Government Strategy (Data.Gov) National System for Geospatial (NSG) National Information Sharing Strategy (ISE) National Preparedness System (PPD 8) Critical Infrastructure / Cyber Security (PPD 21) National Geospatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Federal Geographic Data Committee (OMB A-16) Coordinate identification of operational data supporting National Policy Directives using GeoCONOPS as guide HIFLD Geospatial Interoperability Architecture (all operating levels) (Distribution strategy for geospatial data) FGDC - Geospatial Platform HLS - Geospatial Information Infrastructure DOD\IC - GeoINT Online HSIP

9. HIFLD linkage to FGDC • Federal partners are A-16 contributors • Complements the OMB A-16 efforts • Includes data content not covered under A-16 • Promotes data standards, best practices, and technical capabilities • Facilitate distribution of shared data to advance national strategies

10. Conceptual View of HIFLD Linkage with FGDC • Co-Led by DHS (Civil) & NGA (DoD/IC) • HIFLD to serve as Cross Cutting Homeland Security\Defense Working Group • HIFLD to focus on both common operational and infrastructure data Steering Committee _________________Executive Committee HIFLD HLS HD NP - PPMR&R Nat Resources LE

11. Summary Recommendation: Charter relationship between HIFLD & FGDC • Strengthens coordination between Operators & Data Providers • Expands FGDC interactions with DOD\IC\HLS\LE communities • Facilitates availability of common operating data across the national community • Complements and Enhances FGDC contributions to NSDI • HIFLD includes data requirements not covered under A-16 • Formalizes HIFLD Governance and demonstrates strategic level coordination • Promotes national efficiencies for geospatial data sharing (at all operating levels) • Bolsters national geospatial support for PPD 8, 21, information sharing, and digital government
