US Army Intelligence & Security Command
• INSCOM Mission:
– Conduct intelligence ops for commanders & decision makers
– Provide battlefield understanding for the warfighter
– Collect intel in all intelligence disciplines
• Futures Division:
– Defining future of intel analysis
– Integrating advanced analytical methods & tools
– INSCOM Information Dominance Center (IDC)
• INSCOM IDC analysis architecture adopted by
JIOC & DCGS

Geodynamic situational awareness
• Need:
– Monitor moving assets relative to geospatial data
– Near-real-time, multi-int
– Interrogate & query geospatial data
• ESRI Architecture:
– Manage geospatial content
– Storage and publishing
• AGI Software:
– STK engine, adapted as a situational-awareness viewer (GDM)
– Integrated with ESRI ArcGIS capabilities

More than geometry
• Power
• Antenna gain
• Attitude
• Rate of change
• Velocity
• Positional error
+ Geometry
(not just earth fixed)

Enhanced Temporal GIS
• Marriage of geometry and intelligence
– Locational data + characteristics of an asset
– New geospatial product

ESRI Interoperability
• AGI’s software development kit (SDK) can be
customized into any form
– ESRI
• Geodatabase
• Extensions
• Geoprocessing
– Industry Standards
• OGC
• Microsoft Virtual Earth
• Google Earth
• Examples are given in the next slides:

Closing remarks
• INSCOM IDC adopted as JIOC architecture
– Embeds STK technology for advanced visualization
– Currently installed at JFCOM locally
– Recently deployed to JIOC-I
• Single integrated picture of real-time assets &
multi-int geospatial data
• 4D geodynamic situational awareness for the
warfighter
