Purpose

• To inform the Army geospatial Community on data
  challenges and requirements initiatives
• J-GES ICD
• Joint Force Integration Review Team
• Army Geospatial Data Integrated Master Plan

Capabilities for the Joint Force Commander

Agenda

• TPIO Overview
• J-GES
• FDU/FEF
• MOS Consolidation

4
Mission

• TPIO-TD, as TRADOC representative to the Army
  develops,coordinates and synchronizes all Army
  digital terrain data requirements for current and
  future forces and coordinates with the JIM
  community. Ensures terrain visualization and
  terrain data capabilities are implemented in
  current military operations, combat developments,
  exercises, experiments, training, and modeling
  and simulation. Reviews requirements documents
  for Army systems (subsystems) that require
  digital terrain data and ensures interoperability
  and commonality aspects of terrain data and
  products. Partners with AMSO, NSC, BCBL,
  TPIO-Virtual, and others to guarantee that
  geospatial aspects in MS are compatible with
  C4ISR.

Problem Statement

• Current geospatial data holdings and the
  capability to rapidly generate, manage, analyze,
  and distribute geospatial data do not meet the
  current or future needs of the Joint Force
  Commander.
• Does not support
• Joint Battle Command
• Joint Training
• Embedded Training
• Enroute Mission Planning and Rehearsal
• Modeling and Simulation

6
Current Geospatial Data HoldingsThis is what we
have today
and 150K is the minimum level of GEO data that
the Army needs to plan and execute operations.

Way Ahead

• Plan of attack two parallel paths
• JBMC2 BoD endorsed ICD on 21 Apr 04 and
  recommend forwarding the GMADGD (J-GES) ICD into
  the JCIDS process with the Command and Control
  Functional Capability Board (FCB) as lead
• Complete Service Staffing
• Additionally
• Clear document for foreign disclosure to ABCA
  allies
• Will work with other NATO allies once JROC
  approved
• Concurrently socialize with BA FCB, N-C FCB, DoD
  Interoperability
• Senior Review Panel (ISRP) and NGA

Joint Force Integration Review Team
Geospatial Data Requirements for the Future
Combat SystemThe Challenge

• BUT
• Asking NGA to provide this level of accuracy of
  data for the whole world is infeasible
• 10 changes occur regularly enough that data
  would require repeated update to be accurate
• and unaffordable
• Cost to provide this accuracy through NGA is
  greater than 4-6B.

THEREFOR To meet our operational requirement for
GEO data the Army must have available a Good
Enough capability sufficiently accurate to
support immediate planning and which will allow
rapid integration of additional data about a
limited area to satisfy FCS requirements.

TRADOC Recommended Army Position Proposed
Threshold and Objective Values

• FCS Threshold (2012) MSD Geospatial Requirements
• Open Terrain 150x150km (Within 12 days)-MSD 3,
  HRTe 3, Imagery 1m
• Complex Terrain 75x75km (Within 12 days)-MSD 3,
  HRTe 3, Imagery 1m
• Urban Terrain 50x50km (Within 12 days)-MSD 3,
  HRTe 3, Imagery 1m
• FCS Objective (2020) MSD Geospatial Requirements
• Open Terrain 150x150km (Within 3 days) - MSD 3,
  HRTe 3, Imagery 1m
• Complex Terrain 75x75km (Within 3 days) - MSD 5,
  HRTe 5, Imagery 1m
• Urban Terrain 50x50km (Within 3 days) - MSD 5,
  HRTe 5, Imagery 1m

At HQDA, both G2 and G3 are concerned that the
Threshold Requirements should be MSD/HRTe 4 or 5
in areas of high interest.

TRADOC Recommended Army PositionKey Elements
of the Fix

• Joint/Services geospatial data enhancement
  (co-production)
• Army supports concept
• Sensor Capabilities must be Brought on Line
  (LIDAR, etc.)
• Can do Value Added Now and into the Future
• Assumption on refresh
• Joint/Services will have capability to refresh
  data and provide geospatial data enhancement of
  features and higher resolution elevation data
• Army Geospatial Data Integrated Master Plan
  (draft) and Joint Geospatial Data Enterprise
  Service ICD include this capability
• Proposed NSGI Threshold
• Joint/Army needs threshold requirements as stated
  in NSGI ORD as soon as possible

Way Ahead

  Position
• Brief JFIRT Panel (Date TBD)
• Recommended position carries with it funding
  requirements to execute (Increased funding to
  NGA, increased Army funding for Army data
  enhancement capabilities)

Primary Beneficiary is the Joint Force Commander

Joint Force Integration Review Team
Task from Jan 04 JFIRT

• JFIRT Action from 30 Jan 04 meeting (Army)
• Brief Army position on FCS threshold requirement
  for Mission Specific Data (MSD) Content,
  Quantity, and Timeliness (C,Q, T) at FOC
  (2012),
• to include assumption that Army has primary
  responsibility for refresh of responsiveness
  (MSD)
• and the proposed co-production capability
• and NGSI threshold.
• OSD additional action (from 10 Feb FCS IIPT)
• Army assess impact if NSGI ORD UFR is not funded
• Implied Tasks
• Army position must include answers affecting rest
  of Army, which is also affected by Geospatial
  decisions

Joint Force Integration Review Team
The Common ComponentsFoundation Data and Mission
Specific Data
Feature Data An agreed-to set of coverage,
features, and attributes that varies in density,
accuracy and content based upon readiness
requirements.
Elevation Data Uniformly-spaced grid of terrain
elevation values. Supports line-of-sight
analyses, modeling simulation, cross-country
mobility and landing zone analyses.
Targeting Data Stereo imagery. Supports war
fighter's needs for targeting. Classified.
Safety of Navigation (SON) Provides statutory
navigation information for planning and
operations. (TLM, City Graphics).
Controlled Image Base (CIB) Mono Imagery.
Supports Battlefield Visualization. Unclassified.
There are products associated with each of these
components

Joint Force Integration Review Team
What Happens to the Rest of Joint Force/Army if
NSGI ORD UFR is Unfunded? (current operations to
2012)

• Will Not Have Home Field Battlespace Awareness
• Individual/Collective Training Simulations Will
  Not Replicate Conditions Found in Many Locations
  Around the World.
• Battle Command/C4ISR Systems Will Not Function to
  Full Capability
• Current Operations Will Continue to Suffer
• Threat Forces Use Urban/Complex Terrain to Offset
  US Technology
• Lack of Accurate, Robust Geospatial Data
  Increases the Difficulty for US Forces Operating
  in These Environments

32
Bottom Line
Joint Force Integration Review Team

• Fund the NSGI ORD threshold capabilities as
  feasible
• Establish standards to drive interoperability
• Conduct a rigorous experimentation program to
  get the requirements right
• Provide for a Joint Force/Service data
  enhancement capability

Primary Beneficiary is the Joint Force Commander

PURPOSE

• Provide Background Information on Status and
  Progress of Army Geospatial Data Integrated
  Master Plan (AGDIMP)
• And Solicit Support

34
Conclusion

• Geospatial Data is absolutely critical for both
  current and future joint forces
• Battle Command
• Embedded Training
• Mission Planning and Rehearsal
• Geospatial Data production and management has
  been chronically under-funded
• National Level
• Joint Service Level
• The recommended strategies, (JGES ICD, FCS JFIRT,
  and the AGDIMP) if implemented, address the
  critical shortfalls in geospatial data production
• Support for funding is needed to ensure the
  geospatial data is there when we need it
