4. Perspective • Having been to a destinationhas a lot of benefits Jim or James Bridger (March, 1804 – July 17, 1881) was among the foremost mountain men, trappers, scouts and guides who explored and trapped the Western United States during the decades of 1820-1840. In 1850, looking for an alternate overland route to the South Pass, he found what would eventually be known as Bridger's Pass, which shortened the Oregon Trail by 61 miles. Bridger Pass would later be the chosen route for both the Union Pacific Railroad and later Interstate 80. Wikipedia Presentation to the MITRE EDAC

Presentation to the MITRE EDAC

10. Dan Heily’s role in the DCGS Acquisition Standards Handbook for Imagery (DASH-I) • The DASH-I was intended to define imagery related standards for the acquisition of imagery systems in the Air Force DCGS 10.2 era • Team lead who managed the effort with weekly meeting and a universally available briefing that contained: • Milestones • DASH-I Table of Contents • Issues • Action Items • Addressed profound issues: • Standards in an SOA environment • Taxonomy • Testing • Security • Coordinated with: • NGA internal • Service staff level • Formal service coordination • Briefed • DCGS IMINT IPT • Regular joint meeting of service DCGS Acquisition Program Offices • DASH-I signed by Director of NGA Presentation to the MITRE EDAC

11. Perceptions • Other’s perceptions of Dan Heily • From a PSC Performance Assessment: • “Works extremely well with a diverse group of people” • “Dan provides unique insight into a myriad of engineering areas. His skills continue to range from conceptualizing a solution to a problem to the actual implementation of a solution.” • From Rob Painter In-Q-Tel: “Dan is one of the most driven, creative, down to earth individuals in GEOINT that I have crossed paths with in the federal domain. He is an outstanding, creative thinker and writer who can bring a compelling vision for applying advanced geospatial techniques and technology strategies to the Defense Community. I confidently give Dan a big thumbs up.” • Dan Heily’s perceptions of MITRE • World Class Employees • Great company to work for • Good match with my government / SETA work experience Presentation to the MITRE EDAC

12. Conclusion • Career Goal from Dan Heily’s Resume:“To utilize my extensive acquisition experience in the intelligence community to ensure success of new/ongoing major intelligence system acquisitions.” • From the MITRE web site“The system engineering activities for these sponsors cover a wide range from concept development through the acquisition and fielding of advanced capabilities. Information systems technology, coupled with domain knowledge, underpin the work of the C3I FFRDC.” • Strong Correlation between MITRE’s needs and Dan Heily’s experience Presentation to the MITRE EDAC
