GEOINT Show Daily Day 1

Closer Look at the Human TerrainPre-Symposium sessions focus on the increasingly important field of socio-cultural dynamics.

Whether you call it human geography, socio-cultural dynamics or human terrain, the spatial-temporal study of human populations has become a major topic for GEOINT and all forms of intelligence analysis.

In response to that growing interest, socio-cultural issues were a key theme for the Pre-Symposium Science & Technology Forum held on Sunday before the formal start of the GEOINT 2011 Symposium.

A morning session, entitled “Socio-Cul-tural Dynamics: An Overview from a Diplo-macy, Development, Defense and Intelligence Perspective,” was followed later in the day by socio-cultural workshops on lessons learned and enabling technologies.

The five presenters at the morning session began with CW5 Michael Harper, military deputy, Army Geospatial Center, who offered an insightful overview of the history of mili-tary uses of socio-cultural analysis.

The fact of the panel and the military pres-ence is itself significant, Harper noted. “Ten years ago, you couldn’t have had a panel like this with people from DoD. It’s an indicator of how socio-cultural is progressing in the military.”

Harper acknowledged that the Army has been slow at understanding the importance of socio-cultural information. While there were examples of successful uses, such as the

Integrated Intelligence CapabilitiesOverwatch integrates intelligence data that improves workflow.

Overwatch (Booth 549), a strategic

business of Textron Systems Advanced

Systems, an operating unit of Textron

Systems, a Textron Inc. company, is

demonstrating RemoteView Pro 3.2.2,

the latest version of its imagery and

geospatial analysis software with en-

hancements that better integrate intelli-

gence data and improve the intelligence

workflow.

“Data fusion and sharing across

Overwatch’s integrated software solu-

tions supports merged data streams,

powerful analytical tools, and intuitive

displays of the resulting information—

creating new and needed capabilities

for today’s analysts,” explained Stu-

art Blundell, Overwatch vice president

of geospatial products and services.

“These RemoteView enhancements, to-

gether with recently added extensions,

come from our listening closely to our

customers and then delivering reliable

solutions for them to do their important

work.”

is now available for the Windows

7 operating system, making intelli-

gence data more accessible. A new

ImageStack toolset upgrades the

software’s research and negation

capabilities into one unified inter-

face for reviewing multiple images

simultaneously.

“We also have some interest-

ing tactical intelligence capabilities

that we are showing that include

the ability to fuse signals intelli-

gence information with geospatial

intelligence,” said Blundell. “Our

knowledge of image metadata has

been the best in the industry which

allows us to catalog imagery assets

across the NGA extremely well. ”

“RemoteView’s GeoCatalog

capability is now able to ingest

digital point positioning database

data sets to facilitate locating im-

age pairs, which enable users to conduct

precise positioning. Related to that, we are

introducing a new product in 2012, GeoCat-

alog Server, which contributes greatly to the

problem of finding imagery to support the

mission.”

Large scale mosaics also are now eas-

ier than ever to create with enhancements

made to RemoteView’s Virtual Mosaic ex-

tension.

In June, Overwatch added the V-TRAC Pro

extension and TerraGo GeoPDF production

capabilities to its RemoteView Pro soft-

ware. The V-TRAC Pro extension expands

full motion video (FMV) analysis to include

live stream capture and automated report

generation for FMV exploitation across all

phases of analysis on a laptop computer.

The GeoPDF software extension facilitates

convenient publishing of geo-referenced

content to a PDF file, which may then be

easily accessed and used by individuals

with little or no geographic information sys-

tems experience.

Looking ahead, Overwatch’s goal is to

maintain the belief that their customer has

in their core capability to put the pixels in

the right place. “So emphasis on Remote-

View and making that the best product in

the community, said Blundell. “Second, we

want to add capabilities onto that proven

platform—a platform they already own and

use across the community. If they can add

more capabilities to meet the mission that

makes it very cost effective.”

Global Eyes on the EnvironmentGlobal Fiducials Program brings together civil agencies, academia and the intel community.

One of the new exhibitors at GEOINT 2011 Symposium will be the Global Fiducials Program, which collects satellite images of key environmental sites for long-term study.

The Global Fiducials Program is a collaborative effort between federal civil agencies, academia and the intelligence community. The principal goal of the program is to build and maintain a long-term record of data to support scientists and policy makers involved in that collaborative effort. At the inception of the program, it was hoped that at some point the acquired data could be openly re-leased to support future scientists and policy makers as well. Since the 1990s, the program has been periodically collecting images of environmentally significant sites around the world, and currently

has some 250 locations. In a recent interview with gotgeoint.com, Bruce F. Molnia, ex-

ecutive director of the Civil Applications Committee for the U.S. Geological Survey, noted that in the past two years, imagery for some 80 locations has been degraded and released to the public.

As a result, Molina continued, the program has been stepping up efforts to publicize the program, including having a booth at the Symposium.

“We want to educate people about the existence of the program, which few others in the community are aware of. So we figured GEOINT would be a great opportunity to open people’s eyes to the benefit of this kind of series,” he said.

Handling Real-time Color ImageryPV Labs provides new sensor and processing solution.

PV Labs Inc.(Booth 1213) is using GEOINT 2011 to launch its new 300 megapixel wide area motion imagery sensor and processing solution featuring a 15-inch stabilized aerial gimbal payload.

The company’s PSI Vision system provides an ISR platform for acquiring, processing and distributing real-time, color imagery col-lected over areas covering tens of square kilometers and can provide ground sampling distances (GSD) down to 0.3 meters. The sensor collects over 300 Megapixels of full motion video and is packaged in a next generation compact 15 inch stabilized turret offering 25 percent increased payload volume. In addition to offering best-in-class stabi-lization, the new turret maintains compatibility with the industry-standard envelope and interface of the MX15.

PSI Vision Tactical Content Management System (tCMS) enables a scalable processing architecture for assembling a mosaic of images into a single unified virtual focal plane in real-time. Leveraging the power of GPUs, the tCMS processes large amounts of data, making it immediately available for tactical and forensic operations. Users can retrieve and distribute data optimized for transmission over low-bandwidth links. The flexible Decoder API provides an open interface for development of tools and applications that work with existing in-frastructure.

PV Labs’ next generation of gimbal technology provides the high-est level of stabilization available in an aerial camera system with high targeting accuracy, achieving less than 5 microradians of line-of-sight

jitter and 1.5 milliradians of pointing accuracy in a 15 inch sphere. PV Labs’ 15 inch gimbal can be deployed on fixed-wing, rotorcraft and lighter-than-air vehicles and its compact size is particularly well-suited for unmanned aerial vehicles. The reduced size, weight and power footprint of the gimbal and processing system permits longer missions, significantly reducing cost of the fielded solution.

PV Labs’ solutions fit a variety of display devices including the iPad.

Video ExploitationNevion showcases video maximization systems.

nevion (Booth 1045), a provider of man-

aged video services for broadcasters, service

providers and government entities worldwide,

will use GEOINT 2011 to demonstrate com-

prehensive ISR solutions for government and

military organizations. The company is also

showcasing its new VideoIPath solution for

video exploitation of full motion video and

large volume streaming data (LVSD).

Nevion’s range and facility modernization,

surveillance and mission video systems pro-

vide real-time transport of video, data and te-

lemetry over any network infrastructure—fiber

overlay, SONET/SDH or IP—with VideoIPath

for managing and provisioning video services.

VideoIPath for IP networks provides IP

video transport with comprehensive, end-to-

end control, monitoring and management.

It features comprehensive managed video

services for complete provisioning, connec-

tion management, bandwidth optimization,

analytics and network inventory. It greatly

reduces the cost structure by bringing video

services into the IP environment, where scal-

ability is dramatically increasing and port

costs are decreasing.

The system now includes the VS902, a

powerful universal IP video transport plat-

form that accepts any SDI or ASI input and

provides both uncompressed encapsulation

to IP and a choice of JPEG 2000 or H.264

compression. It offers transport protected by

Streaming Intelligent Packet Switching (SIPS),

a technology developed by Nevion as a more

advanced transport protection method that

provides perfect protection switching in addi-

tion to packet loss protection.

The system simplifies the complexity of

video-over-IP services by adding a network

abstraction layer, allowing users to provision

and monitor services without having to con-

sider detailed configuration settings in each

network element. By auto-detecting available

video resources, It also can present appropri-

ate video end-points and service profiles to

users, enabling them to schedule and initiate

connections in an intuitive option-selection

process. VideoIPath manages bandwidth by

allocating the necessary resources without

overbooking.

VideoIPath is also available for optical

networks, providing a completely managed

video services system for fiber-based net-

works.

VideoIPath’s optical networking—driven

by Nevion Flashlink and Sublime optical com-

ponents—provides a highly cost-efficient so-

lution for intra- and inter-facility signal distri-

bution and management that assures quality,

protection and efficiency. The system’s Flash-

link ADP-3G module can add, drop or pass

signals on each layer, ensuring fast and safe

signal switching for all nodes in the network.

occupation of Japan after World II, that was not the cases in Viet-nam, or in the current conflicts until they were well under way.

To be sure, he said, those shortfalls were partly due to the fact that such analysis in not part of the Army’s core mission, which is to conduct kinetic operations.

At the same time however, “In Af-ghanistan and Iraq, had we considered socio-cultural in more detail up front, maybe we would have executed those operations differently. If we had had a more robust socio-cultural staff at a strategic level, we might have avoided mistakes,” he said.

As soon as you transition from be-ing focused on the kinetic part of the Army’s mission to non-kinetic opera-tions and focus on security and nation building, socio-cultural becomes hugely important at every level, Harper argued.

Looking back on his career, Harper recalled that in his first 20 years of service, he had never conducted battlefield preparation us-ing socio-cultural factors. But in 2004, he began getting calls from units in Iraq, whose commanders were asking to track socio-cul-tural factors that the Army hadn’t before. The codes used to track information in the current fight simply didn’t reflect many vital cultural issues, such as differences within the religion of Islam.

“You couldn’t input information such as this was a mosque with a certain orientation. So we had to build a data model to support what commanders were interested in tracking, and what they wanted to see in their common operating picture,” he said.

Since then, however, the Army and the Army Geospatial Cen-ter have made substantial progress. “If you look at our portfolio of programs today, we’re all over socio-cultural, from developing handheld apps to enable psyops and civil affairs soldiers to rapidly collect information, and quickly get that information back into a mission command environment so it can be shared,” Harper said.

In his remarks, Dan Plafcan, policy analyst and portfolio man-ager for socio-cultural analysis, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, identified three areas of challenge and opportunity that GEOINT tradecraft is bringing to socio-cultural analysis.

First, he said, the expansiveness of GEOINT and the human geography part of it is so huge that there needs to be disciplinary forces to funnel these efforts in a way to provide the most bang for the buck. Second, people in the field need to think carefully about the downstream implications about a lot of the upstream work that’s being done now in GEOINT and human geography, and how that matches up with requirements and the context of use for the data. Finally, more clarity in terms is needed.

“We need a more question-focused and conceptually informed look at the kind of products that we need,” Plafcan continued. “Rather than human geography being mistakenly viewed as an added value, it needs to be brought into the center by showing its clear value for military operations across a broad spectrum.

“It’s not a topic or an empirical domain, but a form of analy-sis, which includes concepts as well as technologies. The focus is on populations or groups of people. If we can get sophisticated about technical specifications and other factors, we should be able to have that same sophistication about the social world. We don’t have that yet as a community,” he said.

“Our vision is the seamless integration of socio-cultural analy-sis into all-source—not a boutique or a specialty. The objective is to inform the full spectrum of military operations,” Plafcan added.

Lieutenant Colonel Lauren Kulinski, currently on assignment with the Department of State Humanitarian Information Unit, discussed how socio-cultural analysis and human geography can be integrated into diplomatic operations.

David Ellis, chief, Socio-Cultural Awareness Section, Irregular Threats Analysis Branch, Joint Intelligence Center Special Opera-tions Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, focused on what he called the “ideational components of cultural geospatial analysis.”

By that, Ellis referred to a range of ideas and beliefs of a popu-lation, which may be much harder to represent than other types of information. For examples, he pointed to such questions as the location of supporters of secular Arab nationalism in Libya, the susceptibility to calls for violence of different Hutu popula-tions residing in Tanzania, the extent of “tariqas,” or cross-tribal, values-based lodges in Somalia, and the degree to “political space” available to non-Islamist political parties in Egypt.

“There is an ideational aspect of culture that we don’t typically see in human terrain analysis,” Ellis said. “We may know where a mosque is, but what does that mosque mean in that context? If we look at the way the population views itself, and then figure out the meaning of the physical layer, then we can have a much clearer understanding of the population’s view of that space, not just what we see as the surface indicators.”

Ellis concluded with a call to analysts: “As you work on your products, you should ask yourself if you are helping your cus-tomer to understand the world that the population sees?”

Wrapping up the session, Elizabeth Lyon, geographer, Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, pointed to the good news that there are a lot of similarities be-tween the way the worlds of defense, intelligence, diplomacy and development view socio-cultural geography. But, she said, “We’re not at the point where we can point to one place and say a word, such as school, means the same thing, or we recognize the differ-ent components of that term. The Corps of Engineers thinks of a school as a structure, while the defense community might be interested in the alternative uses of a school as a building. The dip-lomatic community would be interested in how that school edu-cates the population. We have similar language, but we’re not yet in the same room in recognizing how we interact with each other.

“Mapping is really about the future. Where are we going, and how can we display that information?” asked Lyon, who recently was named as an adviser to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foun-dation’s board of directors.

Understanding the Human TerrainAptima develops automated intel processing options.

With intel-gathering platforms generating exponentially increas-ing volumes of data, how will the limited number of human analysts review, make sense of, and find critical signals in this wave of informa-tion without being overwhelmed?

“We have a lot of background in the social, cognitive and so-cial sciences,” said Shawn A. Weil, Ph.D, Aptima’s director, analytics, modeling and simulation and senior cognitive scientist. “I’ve noticed more and more intersection between those sciences and the geospatial intelligence world. That intersection between human behavior and interactions and the intelligence tools that geospatial analysts and professionals use—satellites, UAVs, LiDAR, WAMI—all of those tools are only interpretable when you understand the human terrain.”

Aptima (Booth 932) is using GEOINT 2011 to demonstrate technologies that automate the collection, processing and exploitation of intelligence data. One demo at the booth shows the modeling and simulation of human social-cultural networks, enabling analysts to forecast and answer ‘what-if ’ scenarios about U.S. actions. The other is showcasing pattern recognition technology used for identifying sus-picious behaviors and threats in torrents of wide area motion imagery.

“The enormous resources committed to intelligence collection has created a ballooning of data at one end, and a bottleneck in pro-cessing and exploitation at the other,” said Weil, division director ana-lytics, modeling and simulation at Aptima. “The theme of Integrated Intelligence at GEOINT emphasizes the need for new workflows and algorithms that can model, examine, and decipher human behaviors from big data, freeing up analysts to do what they do best.”

Throughout the world’s hotspots, analysts must quickly assess the sentiments of populations and forecast the potential impact of U.S. actions. In a revolution-prone region, for example, what do people think about their current leaders and the opposition? What might be the effects of deploying troops, freezing assets, or sending military aid? Aptima has developed technologies for both collecting data in the field through mobile applications, and mining large volumes of text sources to derive information about the social-cultural make-up of populations. These ‘human terrain’ data are then modeled so that analysts can forecast how various groups, given their ethnic, religious, and political identities, might respond to different interventions and events.

Aptima has developed pattern recognition algorithms that can search for and identify suspicious behaviors within huge volumes of video data. These algorithms model potential threat patterns using motion and interaction events of cars, people, and geographic loca-tions extracted from entity tracks. Specific sequences of such events can signify possible reconnaissance, IED emplacement, or ambush preparation activities. Such patterns, learned from historic events and previously discovered activities, or defined by the analysts, are used to categorize and uncover irregular or revealing behaviors from thou-sands to millions of extraneous events and activities occurring in a landscape of people, vehicles, buildings, and roads.

Looking farther out, Weil said, “Relative to the cost of building major platforms, the analysis piece is the critical component to over-coming the glut of information, the overload of data. The benefit of technologies that Aptima brings to the table is that they have been specifically designed to make interpretable this volume of data so the return on investment is pretty striking. The costs are astronomical for new platforms and sensors—and those platforms and sensors are critical—but at the end of the day we are at or past the saturation point for the analysts so to really create the best value we really have to find ways to make the existing—and new data sources—actionable for the warfighter.”

INNOVATION IN ALL DOMAINS

Follow us on:

The Right Multi-INT Will Aid AnalystsFusion in the Information Spectrum—Multi-INT panelists discuss paths forward.

Advances in processing power and storage make it possible to relieve the burden on analysts. However, much work needs to be done and the task won’t be easy, judging by a discussion about multi-INT analytics as an alternative to an all-source approach during GEOINT’s pre-sympo-sium science and technology forum.

The challenge is greater than simply combining different intelligence products in a timely fashion to yield something that users find worth-while and easily understandable. It also has to be suitable for what Mark Abrams, chief scientist in the NRO Mission Support Directorate, called the intelligence device of the future.

“How do I fit what I need into a smartphone?” he said.Although difficult, this can be done. Abrams gave an example of

the Haiti disaster relief effort. What was useful for first responders was information about population changes over time in an area, a bit of in-formation that could be pushed out over cellular networks.

As this example shows, the key to helping analysts do their job lies in correctly setting the dividing line between automated systems and humans. Dave Messinger, an associate research professor at the Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology, noted that computers don’t get tired and are good at sorting through large sets of data. Where they stumble is when called upon to do sophisticated analy-sis. Fortunately, though, there’s another readily available system for this task.

“The brain is good at complex analysis,” Messinger said.Ideally, he said, this analysis would be done using a 4D physically

realistic model of the world, accurate in both space and time on an ap-propriate scale. Then an analyst could test a hypothesis against the model and compare it to actual data, thereby weeding out those theories that don’t fit reality and measurements. Messinger believes this capability will soon be available, and it will offer a near real time response.

In putting automated systems to use, care must be exercised, said Naval Postgraduate School remote sensing research professor Charlene Sailer. “We need to convey something about the data quality.”

That subject came up several times during the presentations. Some-times it involved data analysis and other times data integrity. For the latter, one suggestion was the use of the lowest level bit in a tamper re-sistance scheme. For the issue of the quality of data analysis, a proposed solution involved thresholding. More certain data would be depicted, for example, with higher intensity.

But thresholding, it was pointed out, is generally problematic. It may turn out later that measurements that fell below a threshold are actually useful. For instance, a Soviet-era missile detection system was actually being able to spot Scud missiles during the first Gulf War, if attention was paid to what before had been regarded as noise.

The solution, everyone agreed, was to never discard any of the raw data. A corollary to that is to measure everything. Curt Davis, director of the University of Missouri’s Center for Geospatial Intelligence, noted that having a wealth of data actually benefits computer-driven analysis.

Even inactivity, it was noted, is important. In a battlefield situation, for example, if nothing has changed then there’s no need to change tac-tics. In a disaster, if the population in an area remains the same, there may be no need to rush in additional supplies and assistance.

A final thread in the discussion was that in tackling multi-INT ana-lytics, the GEOINT community could benefit by looking in some un-usual places. Barry Tilton, a senior technical advisor in the NRO Mission Support Directorate, noted that movies could provide clues. Looking at what movies depict as magical technology could give clues about what users want before they know they want it.

However, looking afield for ideas about new capabilities sometimes turns up less than ideal solutions. During the Q&A session after the presentations, Chris Olsen, a remote sensing professor at the Naval Post-graduate School, related a story about investigating how the TV industry analyzed video feeds. There was some very sophisticated analysis going on, but it was being done by having hundreds of interns sitting through many hours of recorded video.

As Olsen said, “We do need something better.”

hooking Up Social Media and ISRSAS and AGI use GEOINT to unveil novel integration solution.

Integrating social media analysis into

the intelligence, surveillance and recon-

naissance collection process is vital to the

GEOINT community. Changes in sentiment

and spikes in certain conversation topics

can provide earlier awareness of threats.

Analytical Graphics inc.(AGi) (Booth 353),

an ISR analysis and visualization software

provider, and SAS (Booth 1005), a provider

of business analytics software and services,

are partnering to meet this need, and will be

unveiling a novel integration of their software

solutions at GEOINT 2011.

SAS Social Media Analytics consumes

social media content such as Twitter, Face-

book, Flickr and YouTube, and uncovers sen-

timent in 28 languages by filtering, categoriz-

ing and analyzing content. AGI’s off-the-shelf

software models, analyzes and visualizes

ISR systems. By bringing these offerings to-

gether, analysts and operators can better un-

derstand the ISR collection picture in real or

simulated time. “Integrating social media into

the ISR collection effort is critical for forensic,

real-time or forecasted ISR analysis, bringing

greater tactical situational awareness,” said

Todd Smith, AGI director, C4ISR.

“SAS can follow a specific topic or influ-

ential individuals through social media, track

changes in sentiment over time and then

compare this information to tactics or events

to determine after-action effects and to bet-

ter plan for the future,” said Karen Knowles,

president, SAS Federal. “We believe the com-

bination of our products with AGI’s will serve

an important national intelligence need.”

It’s a Mobile world, after allThe Mobile GEOINT Applications panel.

The GEOINT community is embracing

smartphones, but there are pitfalls to consid-

and security are a challenge. Ideas on how to

solve this involve dongles and other attach-

ments, but it’s important to keep something

in mind.

“If you make it difficult, people won’t use

it,” warned Ben Tuttle, project scientist with

the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Given that many GEOINT users are sol-

diers in the field or first responders, the de-

gree of difficulty can’t be judged by what is

required in an office environment. Instead, it’s

important to keep in mind what can be done

quickly with one gloved hand. Feedback from

the field indicates that warfighters are looking

to accomplish tasks in, at most, two or three

clicks. For analysis, hitting that magic number

may be difficult.

What’s more, the use of these systems in

the field opens up the whole question of how to

secure them in case they are lost or stolen. This

may involve wiping them remotely, which can

be a challenge if they are offline. That problem

currently has no acceptable, industry wide so-

lution, Tuttle said.

Speaking of connectivity, it cannot be tak-

en for granted in the GEOINT world, said U.S.

Army Geospatial Center research geographer

Andrew Jenkins. “A lot of our users, soldiers,

need apps that can run disconnected.”

For geospatial information, the use of data-

bases and tiling can cut down on data set size,

making it possible to fit information about an

entire area into a pocket. But that can involve

a tradeoff, as moving a multitude of tiles from

one storage location to another can be time

consuming.

More and better smartphone program-

ming standards would also be useful, Jenkins

said. That would help when building apps and

it might also ensure that data can be shared

seamlessly, even for apps developed com-

pletely independently.

Somewhat surprisingly, the rapid pace of

mobile technology development also presents

a GEOINT challenge. The typical procurement

and development cycle for government agen-

cies runs in the years while mobile phones,

operating systems, and applications typically

have lifecycles that run months.

Jay Crossler is a principal systems engi-

neer with the Mitre Corp., a non-profit that ad-

vises the government on systems integration

and how best to use technology. He said that

the mobile product lifecycle will run 18 months,

which means that government agencies will

have to rethink—and speed up—their entire

procurement process. Given the rapid develop-

ment, for example, it cannot take a year to get a

phone approved.

As for apps, Crossler noted those can be

developed in two weeks, if the right person is

working on them. However, he cautioned that

running an app store is significantly harder than

it looks. Both Google and Apple have teams

dedicated to this because they’ve found it

necessary. Crossler predicted that many of the

government app stores springing up will either

be consolidated or phased out, as the difficulty

and cost in running them becomes apparent.

Even with these challenges, though, mo-

bile GEOINT offers too many advantages to

be stopped. At the presentation, for example,

an app was described that offered the ability

to share geotagged photos and text among a

trusted group. Another did the same for live

video feeds. Both could be useful in disaster

or tactical situations. Other apps displayed in-

formation about pirate attacks and offered the

ability to report them. Yet another analyzed ter-

rain and informed the user about the merits of

one route over another.

For mobile GEOINT, that small list may

be an example of the biggest driver for smart-

phone use. As Mitre’s Crossler said, “It’s all

about the apps.”

Diplomatic Facility Support PackageCACI and DigitalGlobe provide a turnkey preparation and planning tool.

Constant measures are taken to prepare for, and manage, planned and unplanned situations as they affect our foreign diplomatic facili-ties and personnel. Evolving international dynamics can rapidly trigger changes in the areas surrounding the facilities, driving the need to utilize contingency plans for the safe movement of diplomatic personnel. The rapid dissemination of up-to-date geospatial information and real-time situational updates can significantly enhance operational understanding and provide the decision-making support necessary for effective evacu-ation and recovery.

The Diplomatic Facility Support Package, a geospatial intelligence platform, improves interoperability between all necessary participants including partner nations. It provides a common operating picture that facilitates joint planning for, and response to, personnel movements. This solution for shared intelligence, developed by CACI (Booth 273) in conjunction with DigitalGlobe, enables accurate distribution of data supported by frequently updated vectors and imagery. Intelligence in-cludes community sourced data and participant feedback, reducing du-plication and enabling efficient and safe responses as an event unfolds.

Full Motion to the ForePanelists at video analysis workshop discuss a wide range of issues.

With its increasing importance for operations—and its seemingly intractable challenges for managing massive amounts of data—the world of full motion vid-eo and related technologies came in for intensive analysis during a lunch session yesterday at the Pre-Symposium Science & Technology Forum.

The session, entitled “WAS/WAPS/WAMI/FMV: Analysis of Video,” was moderated by Darryl Murdock, intelligence community account manager, Esri, and featured a number of representatives from companies involved in this fast-growing field.

Panelists offered a wide range of perspectives, covering a number of the many technological and operational issues involved in using video. Following are brief summaries of some of the ideas put forward by each.

Tom Murdoch Sr., advanced programs manager, geospatial intelligence, Gov-ernment Communications Systems Division, Harris Corp., emphasized the im-portance of timing as a foundation of video analysis.

“When I start thinking about time scales, the important thing is that we have a reference system that allows us to establish where we are right now, and what that means going forward and backward,” he said. “The two elements of time that I want to touch on are the synchronization of data, and the latency.”

Ed Bohling, chief technology officer and vice president, PAR Government, discussed the need to follow standards. “If we’re going to turn an application in a few months, we can’t do the data management over and over. We have to get it right the first time, so that people can roll out their applications.”

Dr. Paul Runkle, chief executive officer, Signal Innovations Group, explained the benefits of synthesizing video tracking data and SIGINT. “The integration of video tracks and SIGINT enables the association of specific identification with video tracks,” he said.

Brigadier General Brian A. Keller (ret.), vice president and senior ISR strate-gist, Intelligence Systems Business Unit, ISR Group, SAIC, formerly served as di-rector of military support (DMS) of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. As DMS, he assisted the director in formulating and executing policy and manag-ing agency activities in order to accomplish NGA’s mission—with special focus on agency support to war fighting commanders.

With that experience, Keller addressed the operational context of what is im-portant for analysts, and what needs to be done to turn the tsunami of data from video and other sources into decision support.

“In isolation, wide area motion imagery is just not good enough,” he said. “With fusion, you can discover relationships that wouldn’t be seen with only one INT.”

Charlie Morrison, director, business development, IS&GS security, Lockheed Martin, identified activity-based intelligence as a key to the WAMI revolution.

Roger Thomas, executive vice president, homeland security, iMove, outlined his company’s technology for achieving 360 degree situational awareness, which he described as “Google Earth Street View on steroids.”

Stephen W. Long, director, ISR and BMC2 integration and technology, Northrop Grumman, emphasized the need to “get out of the analog era,” noting that despite the benefits of digital technology, analog tools are still part of some video systems. He also listed 10 laws of full motion video, beginning with the idea that the quality of a system is determined by the expertise of its least informed engineers.

gEOINt Support for Crisis Management: Operational Experience, Development Strategy, and Cooperation perspective for International actorsRoom 204

GEOINT has become an essential support tool for crisis management in the global arena. This international panel, chaired by the European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC), will discuss operational experience, strategic lessons-learned and the necessary institutional framework for effective cooperation involving such high-profile GEOINT organizations as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the Intelligence Fusion Centre (IFC, tbc) and the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO, tbc). The different missions of these key actors, their individual success stories and key leverage points, as well as their views on strategies to meet future challenges are presented. The panelists will discuss the increasing relevance of close and trustful cooperation for effective support to international missions and operations, and the special importance of clear legal frameworks as a necessary precondition. Examples for multilateral coordination of workload and data sharing will be presented. In this context, international cooperation will be addressed as a not only possible, but in fact necessary to overcome the ever-increasing demand for GEOINT services, as well as a possible answer to the constraining effects of budgetary limitations on operational effectiveness.
