AIM To provide an overview of the UK OISG and subsequent GIMSE initiatives, focusing on the specific role of Deployed Field Geographic Support
OUTLINE • Introduction • Outline current Deployable Geo Support to UK Defence • Explain concept of employment of OISG • Explain concept of employment of GIMSE • Summary • Questions?
Some Definitions…. • OISG • Operational Intelligence Support Group • GIMSE • Geo/IMINT/MASINT Support Element • Organic Geo Staff • Military Geographic Staff on permanent establishment in component and formation HQs.

OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT GROUP(OISG) The Land OISG capability will be the conduit by which intelligence collection and processing capabilities, not organic to the formation but of direct relevance to a commander’s Area of Intelligence Responsibility (AIR) and Area of Intelligence Interest (AII), can be accessed.

GIMSE Initiative • Geo/IMINT/MASINT Support Element - GIMSE • Stepping stone towards satisfying OISG requirements • Improved DGIA support to Deployed Forces • Deployed IMINT • Geo/IMINT Convergence • Comms • US MIGS Example

GIMSE Initiative Challenges • Resources • People • Geo - already committed • IMINT - efficiencies by deploying • Equipment • Staged approach, coord with OISG development • Comms (Exploit PDBS at first) • Releasability of imagery (usually 4 Eyes) • hence focus on OISG Support • Deployed IMINT ownership and ISTAR proliferation • current study on Common Imagery Ground Stations • Money • There is no money!!!! (We have to use what we have)
GIMSE Initiative Development • Imagery Analysts with Geo Engr Gp • trialled on EX ARRCADE GUARD • GSG not necessarily best place • JARIC LO at HQ better solution • next major trial EX JOINT VENTURE 04 • Convergence Study • Equipment Capability • Quick Win with PDBS possible • Keep up with OISG Development • Keep up with Joint Environmental
Summary • OISG will deliver cohesive information directly to the fighting formation. • Many UK Defence stakeholders will need to reconfigure and realign current operational procedures to fully engage OISG concept • DGIA will meet requirements of OISG by committing to GIMSE initiative in order to be well placed for OISG operating capability.
