NAIP Program Goals

• Procurement plan based on Best-Value
  contracting practices
• Acquire large format aerial photography, 140,000
  scale, color positive film
• Acquire during the peak agricultural growing
  season (leaf-on)
• Deliver digital imagery (one two meter), in a
  county format, within one month of acquisition
  for FSA Compliance Program

5
NAIP Program Goals

• Provide new photography/digital imagery on an
  annual basis
• Update ortho-image base on 1-5 year cycle
  (depending on USDA Service Center needs)
• Aerial film archived at APFO and made available
  for photographic/digital products
• Digital imagery furnished to the National Map
  concept in place of or to augment the NDOP

NAIP Vision Statement

• The National Agricultural Imagery
  Program (NAIP) consolidates USDAs aerial
  photography, digital imagery, and digital
  orthoimagery requirements into a national
  strategy that acquires the best value products
  for USDA agencies while being flexible enough to
  create win-win partnerships with Federal
  agencies, State and local governments, and
  private entities. NAIP will maximize the
  informational value of acquisitions by minimizing
  the cycle time from acquisition to fielding while
  maintaining the image content information for the
  creation of orthoimagery and traditional
  photographic products.
