IC’s IT in Budget Crosshairs

NGA Builds “Irreversible Momentum”

“We’re all going to have to give at the office,” DNI Clapper tells attendees.

Cost savings and greater efficiencies in information technology, including expanded use of cloud computing, will need to provide half of the spending reductions in intelligence community budgets over the next decade, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the GEOINT 2011 Symposium Monday morning.

Warning attendees, “We’re all going to have to give at the office,” Clapper bluntly addressed the challenges for the IC posed by the need to reduce the federal budget deficit, which will create what he described as a markedly different environment from the ample resources available in the years after the September 11, 2001, attacks.

In addition to savings in IT, Clapper suggested that the constrained budgets could

have a substantial impact on areas such as use of commercial remote sensing imagery, contractor use in general and hiring. At the same time, however, he pointed to the need for continued investment in such areas as cybersecurity, maintaining a robust overhead architecture, crypto-analysis and foreign language training.

Clapper noted that the IC had just “handed in our homework assignment” to the Office of Management and Budget,” which calls for double digit budget cuts over 10 years.

“We’ve had 10 years of growth. But we’re now going to be in a much different mode,” he said. “I was around in the early 1990s, when we were enjoined to reap the peace dividend engendered by the fall of the Soviet Union. I hope we have profited from that experience.

We didn’t manage the workforce drawdown very well, and went through a seven to eight year period of drawdowns in the community.

We probably cut our all-source capability by as much as a third, and reduced HUMINT coverage around the world profoundly. We let our overhead constellation atrophy.”

Turning to the current process, Clapper said he has actively engaged the agency directors and program managers in this process. “We tried to abide by some organizing principles, starting with no ‘salami slicing.’

Long hails progress on implementing her vision of putting GEOINT power in the hands of users.

Speaking a little less than a year after her call for putting GEOINT power into the hands of users galvanized the geospatial community, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Director Letitia A. Long yesterday offered a progress report on the past year and demonstrated some of the many apps the agency is working on.

“We have irreversible momentum in what we have started here. The demand for GEOINT is rising, and it will continue to rise. We are delivering and we are continuing to deliver,” Long told GEOINT 2011 Symposium attendees.

Long began by explaining the framework for how she measures progress by the agency, which takes into account content, the open IT environment, customer service and analytic depth. She also explained her three level model for the delivery of services, which includes self service, assisted service and full service.

“Increasingly our users are GIS savvy.

They want to be able to serve themselves for the things that make sense,” she said, adding Continued On pAGE 4

➥ Continued from page 1 that that approach frees up analysts to be “focused on the ‘so what’ and develop new analytic tools.”

The bulk of Long’s remarks, however, were devoted to explaining and demonstrating some of the apps NGA is working on.

In the area of humanitarian relief and disaster response, for example, she explained how a new app had already helped the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other first responders deal with the devastation caused by the recent Hurricane Irene.

Traditionally, she said, the agency prints disaster atlases of maps and imagery for those traveling to the scene. NGA analysts can produce 200 pages of documents an hour, which then are printed, bound and shipped. A typical disaster may involve 200,000 pages of material.

“Sometimes we can be the bottleneck,” she acknowledged. “So we started working on a suite of applications for FEMA as Hurricane Irene was bearing down on the East Coast. We thought, what better way to test our apps than to deploy with a bunch of mobile devices. So that’s what we did.”

Instead of printing atlases, NGA used an app that enabled analysts to produce the equivalent of 6,000 pages an hour on a mobile device once the information was loaded in.

Another example involved the devastating tornado in Joplin, Mo., where the damage was so severe that first responders couldn’t find their way around because many street signs had been destroyed. The app provided homeland security infrastructure data that NGA hosts for the federal government, with hundreds of layers of infrastructure information on hospitals, schools and anything else a first responder would need to know— with the simple but powerful addition of a compass to help responders find their way.

Similarly, personnel responding to Irene-caused flooding in New York State were having to use a cumbersome manual process for collecting information on local conditions and transferring it to command posts. It was time intensive and not very efficient.

“We came up with a simple application to allow entry of data from the field,” Long said. “You put in your location and time, and the key attributes you want to get back to headquarters. Now everyone has access to the information. You don’t have to go back to the command post to get the information in. It also shows up on the base map.

“It was not only the fact that we made FEMA’s life easier and more efficient, but we also freed up our analysts’ time to do some deeper analytics.

As the hurricane took an unpredicted path, we didn’t have to go back into production mode. As we developed the app for data entry from the field, we didn’t have to do all that manual input and generation of maps. So our analysts were able to go to some of those 451 layers of infrastructure data and pull up some information we’d never looked at before.”

As for providing support to military forces, Long described a flight she had taken on a military aircraft the day before from Washington, D.C., to San Antonio. She noted that NGA’s mission includes preparing pre-flight information materials for military aircraft. Currently, that involves printing vast quantities of materials—10 million books and charts in 2010, at a cost of $20 million a year.

With an app, she said, “I think I have a better, cheaper and faster way of doing that. You can just pull up a chart and have it at your fingertips and have all the information in one place. It’s going to save us and the military services a lot of time and money.”

Looking ahead, Long offered these thoughts: “In support to military planning and ops, I’d like to move from a data poor to a data rich environment. I’d like to be able to build and provide apps for our military forces for operations, with secure mobile devices, and experiment and use different types of information.

“For integrated GEOINT analysis, it really is the continuation of using all of our traditional and nontraditional sources so that we are creating new value, and focusing on the key intelligence questions,” she said. “We will also do all of this while we are focused on gaining efficiencies, and while we are embedded in our mission partners’ footprints, forward with our fighting forces. We will continue to partner with industry and academic partners, the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence and our international partners.”

At a briefing with reporters after her address, Long put NGA’s development efforts in context of the agency’s many missions. “In addition to all the great work we’ve had underway, we’ve been doing our day jobs. There’s a lot going on in the world. Our op tempo is extremely high to begin with, and at the same time I’m asking the workforce and GEOINT enterprise to modernize and take GEOINT to the next level. I think I’ve showed you that we’ve been busy in the past year, and we’ve delivered concrete applications. We’re going in the right direction, and we’re getting tremendously positive feedback.”

The director also offered praise for industry, which has been busy developing its own apps in response to the vision of putting power in the hands of users. “Industry is a tremendous partner, and they’re doing an outstanding job,” she said. “I want to see as much as I can on the Show Floor.

Great ideas come from all sectors, and our industry partners are key to us implementing our vision. We get a lot of unsolicited proposals, and we look at them all. We have strong relationships with our industry partners. I’ve work hard to foster an open relationship, so they understand our challenges.

“I’d give them a very high mark, and I plan to spend hours on the floor over the next few days,” she added.

Be Agile

Astrium combines existing and new capabilities.

“We are bringing together a variety of capabilities into service products that services the entire GEOINT community, and it comes with several components,” said John Schumacher, Astrium/EADS North America (Booth 379) vice president, space. “Be agile, is our company motto and our company goal is to become even more efficient, more customer-facing, and more focused.

“We’re bringing together satellite capabilities in increasingly customer-facing service products. “The beauty of what we bring is that we’re a full-service commercial data provider, across the spectrum, so we look at it as getting a commercial set of optical and radar capabilities and providing them to the customer in a way that meets the customer requirement.

That’s where we think we’re going to provide some unique capabilities.”

Astrium is focused on taking existing capabilities and improving and enhancing them over the next several years. “With that spectrum of capabilities we can really can meet a lot of different customer needs.”

An example of Astrium’s technology on display at GEOINT is the Eagle Vision set up outside, which is a fused capability for U.S. Air Force.

The Air Force also has the capability with portable ground receiving stations that are up and operational to provide real time delivery of our SPOT optical and TerraSAR radar data to provide immediate support in disaster relief efforts.

The company is also involved in the development of the World Dem, which is using the TandemX to create a HRTI3 global dem, which will provide a highly accurate digital elevation model when compared to the current SRTM2 dem that’s available for the military. The second is that Astrium

Air Force Master Sergeant Troy WIlkerson, with the Eagle Vision program, describes key points to Astrium Vice President Space, John Schumacher and KMI Media Group Editor-in-Chief Jeff McKaughan.

is launching a service called Go Monitoring, that uses both radar and optical assets to create intra-day revisit over the same area, provide near real-time intelligence to people on the ground who need to have actionable intelligence right away. “Very exciting for us is that we are launching our first 50 cm optical satellite, Pleiades—around December 16,” said Schumacher.

“It’s five satellites we’re launching in three years—we’re moving from the PPP toward completely privately invested world for some of our satellites,” Schumacher continued.

“I think the exciting set of prospects, especially in the geo-information solutions marketplace, and to look at how we’re uniquely bringing together a constellation of multi-resolution, radar and optical satellites that integrate to deliver real solutions that solve real customer problems, both on the military side of things and the commercial side as well—the whole spectrum,” Schumacher concluded.

Listening for Answers Goodrich (Booth 257) is focused on its GEOINT message. “There are really two messages here today that we’re trying to bring to the conference,” said Jeff Brown, Goodrich’s vice president of strategic business development. “One, is that we’re operationally deployed. We are on everything from space to the ground—ORS, U2, UK Tornado, Blue Devil, Sand Dragon and Speckles.

“What we’re trying to do through this conference is get a better understanding of what the future vision is and where our customers are going,” he continued. “We’ve engaged in a scenario CONOPS to allow users to come in and explain to us what their interests are, what their needs are, what they’re envisioning the future to be, and work with them to understand, from a CONOPS driven perspective, what that future might look like.”

The company has a full toolbox of resources in ISR, and been around for about 50 years, in space and at the tactical level. “We’re flying on the U-2, with the SYERS [Senior Year electro-optical reconnaissance sensors] and have been since the late

6

1950s. It is still operationally very relevant in the current theater of operations,” said Brown. “Not only do we provide the collection solution but also the TPED that goes along with it.”

The company also can apply its technologies for commercial use as well. “We actually have a couple examples of that. We have our CA-247, which is an IR, wide-area imaging camera that’s flown today in theater on the Blue Devil program,” said Brown. “It is also being applied in a commercial architecture with a commercial business model along the U.S. border.”

At GEOINT and the marketplace in general, Goodrich is, according to Randy Welp, director of PED, “Seeking to broaden people’s understanding of our capabilities, because I think when you look at Goodrich you see a company that builds sensors and you may not necessarily recognize that we have operationally deployed tasking, processing, exploitation, dissemination capabilities. The second piece is we think that GEOINT provides a great opportunity not to necessarily sell a current

product but listen to what the customer is looking for in the future.”

GEOINT 2011 SYMPOSIUM

Tuesday, oCtober 18, 2011

Visualization and Extracting ITT introduces product for extracting features from LiDAR In the middle of GEOINT 2011, ITT Visual Information Solutions (VIS) (Booth 437) released a new interactive software environment for visualizing and extracting 3D features and products from LiDAR data. The software allows LiDAR data to be brought in, extracted and refined, and then exported out to standard geospatial applications and products.

The middle step is an important one, said Beau Legeer, vice president of product marketing for ITT VIS. Automated algorithms may, for example, be tasked with identifying buildings in a scene from a point cloud of LiDAR readings.

The ability to easily apply human expertise to the problem can help eliminate artifacts, thereby removing problems and improving follow-on analysis. This is a capability the new ITT VIS software, which is called E3De, offers.

“An analyst can look at the results of an automatic extraction and just correct it if need be. So if it tries to look for a building and if it misses a roofline, just by a little bit, you can go in there and just snap it back into place,” Legeer said.

In addition to buildings, the new software allows users to create 3D products that include trees, power lines and power poles.

Part of the process can involve a fly-through of a realistic scene, which can help in the refinement of the results. After refinement, the 3D products can be exported so that applications such as either ENVI or ArcGIS can do subsequent analysis.

➥ Continued from page 1 That didn’t work well before, and it’s a way of avoiding hard decisions. It assumes that everything we do in intelligence is of eqzual value, and that’s not the case.

“We’ve tried hard to protect our people, and to do it more rationally than we did the last time, by ensuring we continue to hire, so that we bring in new blood into the IC each year,” he said, adding, “We must sustain and protect research and development.”

Even so, Clapper made clear that tough times could be ahead for many. “As much as I hate to say it to this group, we are going to have to reduce our contractor profile.

As someone who was a contractor for six years, I am the first to acknowledge the hugely important role they play in the IC. But we’re all going to have to share in the pain.”

An area where there is huge potential for achieving savings and promoting integration is in IT, Clapper noted. “In our FY 12 request,

Asked why the software is being released now, Legeer had two answers. The first is that the GEOINT Symposium is a great audience for such a product. The second is that the cost of acquiring LIDAR point clouds is dropping, with a predictable result.

“LiDAR is becoming so prevalent,” Legeer said.

somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of that request is for things labeled as IT. So if there is an area where we can bring about efficiency and savings, that’s it.

“Specifically, the technological advances in cloud computing offer great potential for the IC. We put together a team of IC leaders, which has met for an intense 30 day efficiency study to try to determine our own destiny,” he continued. “We’re trying to keep our CIOs connected with our chief financial officers. This effort is led by the IC CIO, Al Tarasiuk, and Dawn Meyerreicks, the assistant director of national intelligence for acquisition, technology and facilities. This group has found substantial opportunities to accelerate integration across the IC, by integrating a common IT architecture, while allowing for unique, agency specific capabilities.

“If we execute this right, it will allow us to operate more effectively and efficiently, improve IC integration, information sharing,

security and privacy, preserve our mission capabilities, have common access and common improved user experience, and increase confidence in the IC’s handling of personal information—and save money,” he vowed.

“I’ve established a stretch goal that over 10 years, we can accomplish one half of the needed savings through IT efficiencies,” he said. “The focus now is on eliminating redundant IT systems across the IC, providing a more defensible system with greater mission capacity than any individual IC agency can do on its own. I’ve asked the agency CIOs to create and deliver an implementation plan this December. That will lay out the specifics for the way ahead. It will call for some investment in the near years, and hopefully reap the benefits in the later years.”

As an example of other ways to achieve savings, Clapper cited the area of overseas facilities. He also emphasized that even as future hiring is limited, the IC should continue to seek the goal of increased diversity.

Carlson Outlines NRO Vision Satellite agency seeks spending cuts while maintaining aggressive launch schedule.

Addressing the GEOINT 2011 Symposium on Monday morning, National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Director Bruce A. Carlson outlined his vision for a lean, cost-reducing organization that nevertheless has and is continuing to maintain an aggressive schedule of satellite launches.

Noting that the agency had recently completed six launches in just seven months, he reported that it would undertake four more launches in as many months next year.

At the same time, he said, NRO has, despite its relatively small size, been one of the largest contributors to proposed budget cuts, achieving savings on all its platforms and offering incentives to contractors to save costs. “We cut a great deal of money, but without sacrificing our core capabilities,” he said.

Carlson also addressed the Sympo-

sium’s theme of intelligence integration.

“We have several integrated intelligence programs that are either in development or operation today,” he said. “We have three Joint Collaboration Cells, which have been certified by the Director of National Intelligence, and we’re very excited about them.”

Outlining his approach to integration and intelligence delivery, Carlson observed, “We believe that if you can move your ability to deliver farther and farther to the left [in time], to those who need it immediately, then you will have the most impact.”

A major problem has to do with the fact that 95 percent of the geospatial intelligence NRO produces, and 90 percent of the signals intelligence, are classified at the Secret collateral level. “That means that the bulk of what we hand out is relatively easy to distribute to people in the field, because of its classification level. The vast majority of it is not Top Secret. Yet only 5 percent of our soldiers have access to that data,” he said.

Through collaboration with key intelligence leaders, however, NRO has been able to prove that it can get data in the field quickly.

Lt. Michael P. Murphy Award in Geospatial Intelligence Named after Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, the United States Navy SEAL who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, for his actions in 2005 during the War in Afghanistan, Penn State University recognizes achievement by a graduate student who is serving or has served in the U.S. Armed Forces or with the U.S. Intelligence community with its Lt. Michael P. Murphy Award in Geospatial Intelligence.

This year, Penn State bestowed the award to two candidates at a ceremony on the GEOINT 2011 floor. Bill McDevitt, Senior Mission Planner for SAIC, and Vanessa Damato, who is the lead Geospatial Scientist at Special Operations Center—Pacific Command (SOCPAC) Pattern Analysis Section, both received this special recognition.

USGIF and SPADAC, now part of GeoEye, contributed to this monetary award.

Moving to the Cloud EMC2 and the age of big data.

“The bottom line is, no other company has the technologies, the family of game-changing technologies, that transform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, full motion video,” said John Custer, EMC2’s (Booth 800) director, federal strategic missions and programs. “VM Ware, Isilon Storage, scales out, not up. NetWitness for deep packet inspection and network security, a whole family of RSA securities for the network, Greenplum, big data analytics.”

“Today, General Alexander talked about the cloud—moving to the cloud,” said Custer. “That is what this company does. We build, in conjunction with Cisco and VM Ware, the Virtual Computing Environment, builds a V block.

Put your apps on top of it and you have a cloud. General Alexander and the DNI talked about data center consolidation—hundreds and hundreds of data centers, every agency has them. That is what this company does. We consolidate, we virtualize architectures with VM Ware, and we’ve done that in every company that we’ve acquired. We’ve acquired many of companies over the

10

past 10 years with hundreds of data centers; we’ve shrunk those down now to a single, overarching data center.

“This is the age of big data. That’s what we call it, and many of the speakers this morning talked about big data. Unstructured file data: how do you store that? How do you tag it so you can warehouse and then retrieve it, discover it? It’s a huge conundrum, and with our Isilon storage product, which is built for that kind of storage, unstructured file big data, and our Greenplum predictive analytics for big data, is state of the art.”

The question that Custer asks is, “Number one: what are you going to do with those petabytes of unstructured data? How are you going to do real-time analytics of that problem? All we want is a chance. Give us a chance to look at your problem, whether it’s EMC Consulting or EMC Engineers and Solutions; we will be competitive in price and we will present you with tomorrow’s technologies today.”

Imagery Services GeoEye and Google sign multi-year enterprise agreement.

In breaking GEOINT news, GeoEye, Inc. (Booth 413), announced it signed a multiyear enterprise agreement with Google Inc. (Booth 147) to license access to Google Earth Builder, Google’s cloud-based map publishing platform. GeoEye is making this investment as part of its strategy to increase online access to its high-resolution color imagery. GeoEye will be using Google Earth Builder to deliver a new set of imagery services that will make it easy for any Google Earth or Google Maps user to access imagery across GeoEye’s vast archive.

GeoEye will position these new imagery services as an extension of its EyeQ online access portfolio.

Since 2008, GeoEye has worked with Google to publish millions of square kilometers of GeoEye-1 imagery to Google Earth and Google Maps. Google users have been able to take advantage of GeoEye’s high-resolution satellite imagery to gain unique insight into our world. GeoEye is investing in Google

Earth Builder because it provides a simple way to address the needs of many government and commercial customers who want access to GeoEye’s broader archive and recent new collections. With over one billion downloads of Google Earth to date, this provides GeoEye a simple way to make its imagery accessible to a broader audience.

Tarun Bhatnagar, Google’s head of Enterprise Geo Americas, said, “We’re excited that GeoEye will be the first geospatial data provider to use Google Earth Builder. Google Earth Builder is designed to let organizations upload, process and store their geospatial data in Google’s cloud. Employees can use familiar tools, Google Maps and Google Earth, to easily and securely share and publish mapping data. Enterprise customers will benefit from the quick, cloud-based access to GeoEye’s high quality and most current satellite imagery.”

Tony Frazier, GeoEye’s senior vice president of marketing, said, “We are committed

to investing in initiatives that put GeoEye’s high-resolution imagery into the hands of users as quickly as possible. This new offering will augment the imagery that we currently make available via Google Earth and Google Maps with premium access to our most recent collections and our broader archive that contains over 500 million square kilometers of imagery.”

GeoEye is launching a new publicly available Google Earth Builder layer to highlight examples of the ways GeoEye imagery is making a difference in the lives of individuals around the world. Recently, GeoEye’s imagery, in partnership with the company’s Foundation, helped researchers in Mali determine spatial measurements between bodies of water and health centers in areas plagued by malaria.

The insight gained from the maps developed via this initiative will be shared with public health officials in Mali to help combat the disease.

Persistent Surveillance Logos tackles the hard problems.

Logos Technologies is different from some in the GEOINT field in one important way, said David Luber. The deputy director of the company’s persistent surveillance division, Luber said Logos either has or will soon have its products deployed in theater. One is the lightweight expeditionary airborne persistent surveillance for unmanned aircraft. Another is an aerostat-based wide area persistent surveillance sensor called Kestrel.

The immediacy of deployments parallels the surveillance products themselves and that makes them an unusual offering from a small, private company. “We’re go straight to the tactical edge,” said Luber. “It goes literally straight down to the squad leader.”

In doing this, the company’s systems translate data gathered immediately into actionable intelligence suited for warfighters in the field. Logos was able to achieve this feat because it has a unique mix of employees. Within its 200 person workforce are those with advanced degrees and those who served in the armed forces on the battlefield itself. That gives Logos personnel that can tackle technology and others who understand the needs of warfighters. Together, that yields a winning combination.

The company provides end-to-end research and development of both hardware and software. It will also send out the analysts and others for field support. Logos is therefore supplying the entire

package, from the lab to deployment. Importantly, additional analysis can be done on the data, as it is not discarded.

In addition to persistent surveillance, Logos is also working in cyber and alternate energy domains. All represent significant challenges for both government and commercial customers.

As Mark Salvador, deputy director of the company’s technology division, explained this trio by saying, “We look for the hard problems that the agencies and our customers and the government are trying to solve.”

The world around us is not flat. You often need a solution that allows you to get information from more than just two dimensional imagery and data. Introducing E3De™, an interactive geospatial software environment that allows you to extract important situational awareness from three dimensional data – providing you with more information about an area of interest than ever before. E3De has advanced tools to utilize raw LiDAR point cloud data and create photorealistic 3D visualizations, extract 3D features from a scene, or produce 3D products and layers.

Derived results can be included in your GIS, fused with 2D data for further analysis, and more. When you analyze the world in all three dimensions, you discover the full potential of your data and can make better, more informed decisions. Learn more at www.ittvis.com/E3De.

Adding the World to Simulation VT MÄK announces bundling discount.

VT MÄK (Booth 166) has initiated a special terrain bundle that makes it easier for organizations to add the entire world into their existing simulations.

The bundle means that upgrades to existing systems can take advantage of whole Earth elevation and imagery, rich 3-D terrain, and large area paging terrain, and provide a central repository to serve their own terrain data.

The bundle of MÄK’s VR-TheWorld terrain server and VR-inTerra terrain agility API includes a significant cost savings.

“With this special terrain bundle, your simulation applications can break out of the mold of simple DTED terrain and take advantage of innovations in terrain technology,” said the company.

Unbiased Analysis CALNET offers solutions and solution options.

First time GEOINT exhibitor CALNET (Booth 815) differs from many other firms on the show floor in a significant way, said Dwayne Squires, assistant vice president of the intelligence analysis division. The privately held company provides a variety of intelligence support services, information technology solutions, language services and global aviation services.

This breadth of expertise is not what sets them apart, though. It’s what the company doesn’t do that makes it different.

“Being one of the few companies that don’t sell software or products, we provide a very good, unbiased opinion set to the government when they really need it. Our analysts have no pressure to select a particular thing,” Squires said.

Offering expert opinions has paid off for the 20 year old company. It made lists for fastest growing firms several times in the past few years. Over the last decade, it also changed its focus somewhat and expanded the range of its activities.

“We’ve done things around the world. We’ve have people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We do a lot of GEOINT now,” Squires said.

For instance, CALNET is a prime

contractor for INSCOM Omnibus III, for which it conducts intelligence analysis, C4ISR support, and training support. It also assisted in the establishment of JIEDDO’s Counter IED Operations Integration Center in 2006. Today it provides support across the intelligence community, including for DIA, NGA, NSA and the military services.

On the language services side, CALNET provides native speakers to support Army Combat Brigade training at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. and elswhere. It also provides support services to U.S. forces in Arabic, Kurdish, Pashto and Dari.

The company also provides IT solutions. Here CALNET helps with software development, information assurance, systems engineering and help desk support. Some of its core competencies in this area include enterprise portfolio management, architecture, design and implementation. The company supports a number of government agencies in this way, with NSA being one.

The thing that ties this diverse set of services together is that CALNET sells the same thing in every area. As Squires explained, “We’re selling senior expert personnel.”

Go Virtual Going to the cloud improves security and saves money, says U.S. Cyber Command.

Moving into the cloud will improve security, lower costs, and boost performance, U.S. Army General Keith Alexander told a packed room during his keynote. In asserting this, he should be taken seriously. Alexander is commander of U.S. Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency, and chief of the Central Security Service.

What’s more, in this brave new world of cyber-attack and -defense, there is a role to play for GEOINT. The action may be virtual, but eventually it all ties back to someone located in the real world.

“Placing them on a map is very helpful,” Alexander said.

According to Alexander, one reason for the push to cloud-based computing lies in the increasing number of attacks on both government and commercial systems. There are millions of devices in the Department of Defense, a number that guarantees that some will not be patched with the latest security fixes. As a result, a persistent adversary will be able to get in, and data from the commercial sector shows that intruders are often in place for months before being detected.

Once inside a network, some adversaries will no longer be content to merely siphon off data. As shown by accidental power outages in both the U.S. and Russia, it’s possible for software to cause severe damage to physical infrastructure.

“We now have a high probability of destructive attacks,” Alexander said. “There’s a need for us to act.”

That realization led to discussions with those on the offensive side of U.S. cyber warfare efforts about what would be the most difficult architecture to attack. The answer that came back was to go virtual and into the cloud.

Implementing a cloud-based system would benefit security in a number of ways, Alexander said. For one thing, updates to devices would be more automatic. In addition, it would remove many of the vulnerabilities presented by mobile devices, which represent a tremendous opportunity and danger.

In addition there are a number of non-security benefits. Analysts will have an easier time doing their jobs. Today, every database has its own security manager. As a result, getting access to a legacy database for a single query requires being authenticated for that database. A good chunk of an analyst’s time is currently consumed with this seemingly simple access task. Going to a cloud will make an analyst’s job orders of magnitude easier, Alexander predicted.

A cloud-based approach can also save significant IT money. For instance, the number of help desks in a network could eventually fall from hundreds to just two, the number of apps could drop from thousands to 250, and the number of data centers could be slashed significantly. All told, Alexander said a 30 to 40 percent savings is achievable.

A final benefit is faster performance. Alexander related how a regional gateway set up in Iraq helped warfighters. Previously, information was shipped from Iraq for analysis, with a turnaround time measured in hours. By building a cloud support structure in the region, that time was shortened significantly, and this was credited with helping to achieve success in Iraq.

“The cloud isn’t just one cloud,” Alexander said in summing up this approach.

The National Security Agency is in the process of transitioning all

of its databases to the cloud, with NSA Georgia, Texas and Hawaii running pilots. The goal is to have the initial phase of the switch done by the beginning of 2012. The U.S. military has also released a secure cloud implementation to the open source community, in part to have the community ferret out any flaws. Another benefit is that a more secure cloud will percolate through the commercial sector, helping to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.

Of course, a cloud may be more secure but it is not invulnerable. Another change that is being implemented under the auspices of U.S. Cyber Command is active defense at the perimeter. Today’s anti-virus and malware protection is largely static and so is like a fixed line of fortresses that can be bypassed. Knowing that intruders will make their way in, another solution being pursued is the development of teams that can detect and eliminate adversaries much more quickly than the months it can take today.

All of this will take the development of special techniques and the training of people with the right skills. Alexander noted that industry could be a partner in this, since cyber security is a common problem. But he also indicated that more would be needed from the military, particularly in the realm of skilled people.

As Alexander said, “We have to grow a cyber-force within the department.”

GEOINT GEOINT 2011 2011 SYMPOSIUM SYMPOSIUM

Tuesday, Tuesday, oCtober oCtober 18,18, 2011 2011

Today’s session Descriptions General Session Panels 9:15 A.M. - 10:15 A.M. Integrating Intelligence The theme of GEOINT 2011 is “Forging Intelligence Integration.” The demand that we in the Defense, Intelligence and Homeland Security Communities must do more with less while accomplishing our National Security objectives is never more real than now. To be more effective and efficient we need to ensure intelligence is being integrated in all that we do. This panel will take a holistic approach to intelligence integration and how it can better enable us to succeed in our collective mission. This idea of Forging Integrated Intelligence isn’t DNI- or even IC-centric but rather applicable and beneficial to all charged with protecting the interests of the United States and its Allies.

• James G. Clark, Director, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Innovations; Deputy Chief of Staff for ISR, Headquarters U.S. Air Force • MG Mary A. Legere, U.S. Army, Commanding General, United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) (Legere has been nominated for promotion to lieutenant general and assignment as Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2, United States Army.)

Forging Collaboration in the Coalition Environment Forging intelligence integration is not only an issue for the security of the United States, but also for our coalition and allied partners. Enabling coalition operations is critical to successful operations in every major U.S. military operation today. Creating a sustainable network and a fully integrated intelligence environment for real time collection and analysis to impact operations is achievable. The concept of “Need to Share” overrides the concept of “Need to Know” in order to create effective partners and successful coalition operations. LTG Michael Flynn will lead a panel of senior officers from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, as they discuss the challenges faced integrating intelligence in the Afghanistan coalition environment.

GEOINT in Support of Homeland Security Room 103

9:15 A.M.

Coordination between federal, states, local and commercial organizations for response to domestic issues, such as natural disasters and homeland protection, is still a challenge. Data sharing and cooperation among these organizations has increased; however, the interactions between each agency’s systems/databases are still not always defined, data models are not established to promote easy sharing of data, and data is not seamlessly used between applications.

3D technologies are becoming both commonplace and essential in geointelligence operations. 3D data sets are now being generated by both LIDAR and Dense 3D Extraction systems using standard frame imagery and full motion video. Urban Robotics’ PeARL system is actively used in multiple theaters of operations by the U.S. Department of Defense. Urban Robotics specializes in Dense 3D Extraction, in which every pixel from the hundreds of billions collected on each flight is repositioned into 3D space. The process is extremely computationally exhaustive, but creates a final product that has immense intelligence value. Through the foundation of LIDAR systems, the marketplace has developed both industry standards for point cloud data files (LAS), and for tools to view, modify and exploit the 3D datasets. Unfortunately, many of these standards fail to scale to 100’s of billions of points. In our engagements downrange, we hit these core interoperability issues of scaling and custom software installations, as we created massive point clouds from our data products. To solve these interoperability issues, we came upon interoperability with LIDAR/LAS, WebGL and 3d Movies to help get 3D datasets into the hands of our users.

INTEROPERABILITY TECH TALKS 9:00 A.M. Harvesting Named Geographic Features from Raster Maps Raster maps contain a great deal of geospatial information and are available for areas throughout the world. However, the data contained in the maps is usually locked up in the raster format of the map and it is quite challenging to use the data to integrate with other sources.

This talk presents a general approach to process raster maps and turn the data on a map into vector layers that does not rely on any prior knowledge and requires minimal user effort. This presentation will show that our approach can handle raster maps with varying map complexity, color usage and image quality.

Accessing Massive 3D Image Datasets

• Isaac Zaworski, PED/Analysis Coordinator, Urban Robotics Inc. 9:30 A.M. Harvesting Open-Source Geospatial Information with OpenSource Tools This presentation describes an ongoing research and development project that seeks to enable safeguards analysts to efficiently and effectively use open source geospatial information by leveraging web-based information technologies in novel ways. The authors have surveyed a number of open source GIS tools with the goal of integrating and/or modifying them to create an easily learned, interoperable toolset.

Such a toolset is designed to systematically extract, organize and store geospatial data from the Internet. Since open source software is by definition fully available to developers, it is ideally suited to customization to better fit specific use-cases, such as nonproliferation analyses.

• Denise Bleakly, Geospatial Analyst, Sandia National Laboratories 9:45 A.M. Large Scale Fault Tolerant Preprocessing and Distribution of Map Imagery In this effort, we describe a cloud architecture built on open source software that provides high availability image processing framework for georeferenced image data. We leverage Hadoop, MapReduce and HBase to deliver map imagery to end users with our cloud implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Web Map Service (WMS). The architecture is fault tolerant, highly scalable and can handle many terrabytes of imagery. This architecture has indexed imagery, is easily searchable and can be continually updated without loss of uptime for the running WMS. We describe the original use case of this architecture, which was developed to aid in disaster relief.

• Andrew Levine, Research Engineer, TexelTek/TASC 10:00 A.M. Effectively Managing Tremendous Data Growth with Limited Resources This presentation focuses on how to architect a storage management solution for the unique challenges of large unstructured data environments.

Specifically, how large digital files are managed within a storage infrastructure and how a cost- effective tiered storage management system can be implemented. Advancements in full motion video, imagery generation and geospatial technologies, like those used in the military and intelligence agencies, are driving the growth in raw video footage. This will also discuss how a major, international television broadcaster transitioned from managing silos of rich media content to one that interoperates across multiple platforms/regions and leverages a private-cloud architecture to centralize, integrate and streamline operations.

Building an Open Application Framework for the Aggregation, Analysis and Dissemination of Spatially Referenced Data Sets

A Human Factors Analysis ofThe National GeospatialIntelligence Agency’s Web Presence

Remote sensing operations generate a wide range of spatially referenced data sets, the Situation Awareness Fusion Engine (SAFE) is a platform designed to aggregate these data sets (raster, vector and LIDAR) in a single location for analysis and dissemination. Application interoperability was a primary consideration in the system’s design and was achieved by leveraging existing web standards defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). As a result, the SAFE is an open analysis framework capable of accepting data from and serving data to a wide range of software platforms.

The authors are assisting NGA in redesigning their web presence from a user- centered perspective. Specifically, they are performing a human factors analysis of existing web services, including GEOINT Online (GO) and a beta version of the NGA NIPRNet. This presentation will summarize general methods and preliminary results from several of these analyses, including an inventory of existing services and features, a user satisfaction survey (of existing services) and requirements analysis (for future services) from several user communities, and eye-tracking trials. Results from these analyses are being used to suggest how to combine the best aspects of each website into one comprehensive web presence, taking into consideration content, functionality and aesthetics.

• Matt McCue, Application Architect, Woolpert Inc. 4:15 P.M. Architectures for Decision Making Actionable decision-making requires having access to the right intelligence at the right time. This presentation will examine several architectures supporting decision-making. Tactical architectures require real time decision-making, dramatically stressing the time constraints of interoperability. Strategic decisions require completeness of context, stressing the thoroughness of interoperability. This presentation examines the interoperability attributes of two existing architectures: AF-DCGS, and DCGS-A, as well as an assessment of interoperability as they move towards cloud implementations.

Volpe National Transportation Systems Center 5:00 P.M. U.S. Geological Survey and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Data Processing and Delivery Partnership This presentation focuses on the USGS and NGA partnering service relationship of a standardized data processing and interoperable map and data services delivery model that leverages USGS hosted orthoimagery, map and data services aligned with NGA technical and business requirements. In this climate of downsizing and shrinking budgets, “win-win” agency mission partnerships are highly desired where leveraging existing infrastructures, databases, technology stacks and associated best practice driven outcomes can be exploited to produce an efficient, cost effective technical and business solution.

• Terrie B. Bobbie, Project Work Manager, Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies Contractor to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resource Observation and Science (EROS) Center

This presentation will explore how to easily get data in and out of the NIEM standard. Demonstrations will be used to illustrate how organizations can resolve the inherent data model and format differences faced in such a task, without losing the integrity of the original data. Attendees will learn how transformation technology can make it easy to produce and consume data in XML, focusing particularly on the NIEM Initiative. Attendees will also discover the benefits of combining spatial and non-spatial data for improved planning and better-informed decision-making.
