  1. National MASINT Management Office (NMMO)MASINT/Common Sensor COI Tammy Countryman 8 April 2009 This briefing is classified UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

  2. MASINT/Common Sensor COIWhat Is MASINT? • MASINT is: • Measurement And Signatures Intelligence • Information to characterize and identify targets and events that is produced by quantitative and qualitative analysis • Information derived from measurements of physical phenomena intrinsic to an object or event Measurements/Signatures resulting from the shift, change, vibration, fluctuation, existence of, or the lack of any of these states for a given phenomena

  3. Physical Attributes of MASINT? • Physical attributes sensed by MASINT collectors include, but are not limited to: • Electro-Optical: examples infrared, laser, spectral • Radar • Polarimetric • High-Power or Unintentional Radio Frequency Emanations • Geo-Physical: examples seismic, acoustic, magnetic, gravimetric, infrasonic • Chemical • Biological • Nuclear • Biometrics: relies on unique signatures of human beings

  4. MASINT Processing,Exploitation and Dissemination • MASINT exploitation includes the use of quantitative signatures tointerpret the data and to characterize and identify targets of interest. • Data processed and exploited by MASINT means may be collected by sensors residing on any platform type: Ground, Air, Sea, Space • MASINT processing and exploitation is decentralized and is achieved by diverse MASINT and MASINT-relevant organizations • Organizations producing MASINT products or developing new MASINT capabilities/tools will ensure compatibility with IC, DoD, and MASINT data standards, architectures, processes, and procedures

  5. What is MASINT/Common Sensor? • Set of… • Sensor-agnostic • International/NATO/National/Federal • Open commercial/industry • Department of Defense • Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCGS) • Intelligence Community/MASINT phenomena-relevant • standards that facilitate MASINT and MASINT-relevant interoperable information/data process flow Sensor Agnostic = A Sensor is a Sensor is a Sampler is a Transceiver….

  6. MASINT/Common Sensor COI • COI since April 2007 - first report to ASD/NII COI Forum • COI managed by National MASINT Management Office (NMMO) • COI Federates standards activities of: • MASINT-Standards Working Group – IC Focus • OSD DCGS MASINT Functional IPT – USD(I) Focus

  7. M/CS COI Namespace Governance • Namespaces hold Radar, Electro-Optical, Radio-Frequency, CBRN, Geophysical (Acoustic, Seismic, Magnetic), and Biometric information resources that promote cross-domain interoperability • Manages DoD Namespaces: • Multi-Sensor (MS) – TS, Secret, Unclas (posted unclas 8 Oct 08) • MASINT – TS and Secret networks (posted Secret: 14 Mar 07) • Provides oversight to 8 sub-namespaces: • ACTM (Airborne Collection Tasking Message) Namespace (NGA) • UGS (Unattended Ground Sensor) Namespace (Air Force Argus PM) • SensorML Namespace (OGC Standard) • TransducerML Namespace (OGC Standard) • Signatures Namespace (Signature Support Program - DIA) • IED Namespace (Improvised Explosive Device) • SEIWG (Security Equipment Integration Working Group) • Biometrics (Biometrics Task Force/Biometrics Standards WG)

  8. MASINT Metadata Harmonization Completed

  9. Metadata Harmonization Partners • Bring together M/CS-relevant standards/models: • ISO 19130: Sensor and Data Models for Imagery and Gridded Data • NATO Standard(s): STANAG 4607 GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indicator) • Commonwealth Partners: Canada, Australia, UK (TBD) • NIST: Sensor Standards Harmonization WG efforts • OGC Standards: SensorML, TransducerML, GeographicML • DCGS (Distributed Common Ground/Surface System) Discovery Catalog, Department of Defense Discovery Metadata Standard (DDMS) • Intelligence Community Models: • IC Info Sharing Data Standards Coordination Activity (ICIS DSCA) Standards • GEOINT-Standards WG (GWG) –Community Sensor Model WG (CSMWG) Sensor Models • GWG – NITFS Technical Board (NTB) – Metadata Profile WG UPHD metadata • SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) Data Model • HUMINT (Human Intelligence) DCGS-Sponsored Metadata • Sensor/System Community Model(s): Missile Defense - MDA Data Model, Chem/Bio Defense Data Model, Maritime Information Model, IBS, USMTF • MASINT TCPED XML and database schemas (MRS, NSP Signature Finder, etc.)

  10. MASINT/Common Sensor COI UCore Experiments • 6 May – 31 Jul 2008: Conducted UCore 2.0 Pilot E-SensorWeb • “THE” IC Pilot • Delivered UCore schemas for weather sensors • Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) Multi-Function Lab Testing • Jan – July 2009: Baseline Assessment and Semantic Evaluation for Sensor Standards (BASESS) Experiment 10

  11. CBRN Sensor Standards Gap Analysis Tiger TeamBaseline Assessment and Semantic Evaluation for Sensor Standards (BASESS) Goal:Implement sensor/system-relevant standards and evaluate the appropriate use and placement of standards within the data process flow. Objective: Build a repeatable process for evaluating sensor/system standards and assessing the appropriate placement of standards within the data flow process Theory: A repeatable test process can be developed to measure standards implementation strengths and weakness, and when combined with use cases that simulate environmental implementation conditions, meaningful metrics will result to formulate performance-based, standards implementations best practices Provides Core Functionality for Multi-INT Interoperability Lab Metadata Node

  12. CBRN Sensor Standards Gap Analysis Tiger TeamBASESS Approach Phase 1 Select sensor/system data flow process Select sensor/system standards/specifications Identify emulator output format (packet composition) Build sensor/system emulators for each sensor/system standard/specification Identify testable data flow/standards characteristics Build Use Case Stubs Identify testing and evaluation process Run BASESS experiment Compile BASESS results and annotate findings Phase 2 Build out Use Case stubs with BASESS findings Conduct Use Case Experiments Annotate Findings

  14. MASINT/Common Sensor COI EMPIRE Challenge Support • 13 June – 31 July 08: SensorWeb participation in OSD DCGS Demonstration EMPIRE Challenge ‘08 • EC ‘08: DCGS MASINT Metadata Harmonization Team built sensor data implementation profiles using Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards for EMPIRE Challenge sensors (i.e. Army Unattended Ground Sensors, UAV, CBRN sensors) • EC ‘09: Plan SensorWeb support for MASINT, GEOINT, SOCOM, DTRA, and DCGS-IC 14

  15. Sensor Alert and Planning Services ` UGS strategically placed to detect target SensorWeb’s SAS and SPS work together to task UAV via CoT or ACTM CoT or ACTM Video streams are then advertised through SOS Legacy sensor data is translated to OGC standard formats (O&M) and inserted into the SOS
