  1. Geodynamic Situational Awareness for Intelligence Operations Wayne Hall & Dave Bissett

  2. Agenda • INSCOM background • Geodynamic situational awareness • STK technology application • Netcentric geospatial intelligence sharing • 4D common operating picture • Closing remarks

  3. US Army Intelligence & Security Command (INSCOM) • INSCOM Mission: • Conduct intelligence ops for commanders & decision makers • Provide battlefield understanding for the warfighter • Collect intel in all intelligence disciplines • Futures Division: • Defining future of intel analysis • Integrating advanced analytical methods & tools • INSCOM Information Dominance Center (IDC) • INSCOM IDC analysis architecture adopted by JFCOM JIOC

  4. Need: Monitor moving assets relative to geospatial data Near-real-time, multi-int Interrogate & query geospatial data STK technology application: STK engine, adapted as a situational-awareness viewer (GDM) Integrated with ESRI ArcGIS capabilities Simulyze Flight Control processes real-time data feeds Geodynamic situational awareness

  5. STK technology application architecture at INSCOM • GDM • Flight Control • ArcObjects • Geodatabases STK/GDM Flight Control ArcObjects SIGINT ArcIMS ArcSDE GDB Features Imagery Near real-time tactical data feeds Intelligence databases IMINT Map Layers

  6. STK technology application: “geodynamic display manager” • STK’s complex geometry engine accurately displays and analyzes dynamic objects in real or simulated time • Analysts query GIS data of interest • Includes interrogation of GIS meta-data

  7. STK technology application: “flight control” • Integrated application developed by Simulyze, Inc. • Translates message traffic from data feeds into GDM objects for display • Lets user interrogate messages, filter viewed objects, customize alerting

  8. TACELINT TDIMF TAB37 ATO ATOCONF JUNITREP TADIL-J OTH-GOLD NGA geospatial data NRTD format for IBS feeds NCCT NATO EX Predator NITF PRISM AFSERS SRTM XML Space order of battle Opus aircraft waypoints STK technology application: example data / message formats

  9. Netcentric geospatial intel sharing • INSCOM multi-int geodatabases • Large data volumes • Multi-theater ESRI geodatabases (SDE) • Multi-client, available to Army and Joint Forces • STK 4D common operating picture (4D-COP) • 4D = 3D (x-y-z) + time • Fuse shared maps, imagery, geospatial intel layers with real-time data feeds • Single integrated picture of land, sea, air, space

  10. Common questions answered by the 4D-COP • What assets are in my area of interest? • Where are my blue forces? • When is my next imagery opportunity? • Does blue forces activity intersect with enemy travel routes?

  11. 4D-COP: From space to ground • Space assets • Accurate picture of national assets & fields of view • Air assets • Real time view of collection platforms • Accurate sensor footprints • Real time tactical data feeds • 3D ATO/ACO with timeline view • Ground and sea forces • Blue force tracking via GCCS • Mil STD 2525b symbology • Geo-DB’s hold ground force data, disposition, etc • Mapping • Real time NITF imagery • Multiple layers of maps/imagery • Feature datasets: Roads, railroads, towers, etc

  12. 4D-COP: multiple dynamic views • Multiple customizable dynamic windows • Manipulate views independently for situational awareness • Zoom in on areas of interest

  13. 4D-COP: moving objects Symbology: • 2525b • NTDS • Models

  14. 4D-COP: airborne assets • Airborne assets shown at altitude

  15. 4D-COP: sensor projections • Dynamic sensor display • Accurate area coverage and over-flight visualization

  16. 4D-COP: geospatial data • GIS feature data from: • ArcSDE • ArcIMS • pGDB • Shapefiles • Vector and raster data sets • Import by user defined areas • Custom queries allow user to view only data of interest

  17. GDM demonstration • 4D geodynamic situational awareness for the warfighter

  18. Closing remarks • INSCOM IDC adopted as JIOC architecture • Embeds STK technology for advanced visualization • Currently installed at JFCOM locally • Recently deployed to JIOC-I • Single integrated picture of real-time assets & multi-int geospatial data • 4D geodynamic situational awareness for the warfighter ~ QUESTIONS? ~
