There Are Several Challenges I Want To Tackle In Afghanistan

“Beforeanythingelse,thereistheproblemofacquiringuseful data. Data abounds, but not necessarily in Afghanistan –itcanbeinKabul,butit’sprobablynotdownwheremyguysareinHelmand,anditmightbeatDGCinFeltham,butit’sbynomeanscertainthatit’swithusontheground.Therereallyisa case for us getting the data out there where it matters, be it imagery or topographic.

The second challenge that we face is this. There is a significant short fall in the data that we receive in the field. Cultural information is often severly lacking. Commanders need to know all about the different tribes and their geography. They need to know about whether the building of a well in a particular village is going to benefit the right people in the right way, and what the reaction is likely to be amongst the neighbours, and whether the outcome is likely to cause friction ornot.Commandersdon’tjustneedmoredata,theyneedmore data of different kinds as well. ”If your organisation is facing similar in-theatre operational challenges, then join DGI 2011 In-Theatre Operations stream to hear about the latest experiences, success stories and

professionals have been asking. Here is what New Zealand

MODthinks.StevePyatt’sinputintotheDGI2011conference

agenda has been invaluable.

“ More information is available and readily viewed in real

world context with GIS enabling better decision making. The

soldiers at the front are using integrated digital mapping with

navigational (positioning) devices to ensure that they know

where they are relative to all other features and events. Geo

capabilities have already penetrated systems, terrain analysis,

military map production, navigation systems, mission planning

systems, logistic movement monitoring etc. In a way Geo

capabilitieshavealwaysunderpinnedC2systems.When

C2 was conducted manually, the map with pins in it or map

table (pushing models around) was the basis as it provided

thecritical‘where’aspect.Sothequestionreallyisabout

digital geo capabilities. Now that C2 is going digital, the digital

map is the means of coordinating everything and placing

other data/reports/info into real world context. This is where

effective information management becomes a key to making

the relevant info available to the right people at the right time.

Metadata is important in this aspect as many organisations

The ability to filter the relevant from the masses of data will be

Human Terrain Analysis - Shining A New Light On An Old WisdomDGI 2011 includes a special focus day on human terrain analysis. During the HTA day you will hear case study presentations, panel discussions and take part in an interactive seminar.

Col. (ret) Neil Thompson, Managing Director, Wc Group, canada Formerly Chief Defence Intelligence, national defence, canada

Col. Thompson tells us why HTA has become so important:

“ Human Terrain Analysis may be the new buzzword, but in fact, the analysis of where people live, how are they organised (tribes, families and groups), their economy and how they interact with each other has been of vital interest for a thousand years.

The reason to collect this data is to assess how these groupswillpossiblyreacttoanyoutsideinfluencesuchas exploration, natural resource extraction, infrastructure improvements or military operations.

Traditionally, the geospatial and intelligence communities were conducting human terrain analysis for different, but complimentary purposes. The Intelligence community wanted the macro level Human Geography, the large scale location of tribes, and the historic trends produced by the geospatial communities. The intelligence analysis then took this and gathered more data to develop a micro level picture.

As more fine grain information is gathered, data sets such as family, extended family, tribe and compound products can be developed. This can be used for a variety of customers, such as where to build schools or water purification plants. In addition, it can be used as part of the targeting process. ”

“Enlightening and educational--a huge Bravo Zulu to the organisers and industry who make this happen” William Lingsch, Director, Littoral & Riverine Department, uS navy oceanographic office

“The range of case studies from different types of organisations across the globe is phenomenal--you don’t get that anywhere else” Dr. John Peaty, Special Projects, Defence Geographic Centre, Intelligence Collection Group, uK Ministry of defence

“Excellent speakers & participants. Great for information and networking!” Guiseppe Conti, Senior Scientist, Graphitech

“If we didn’t attend DGI every year we would be missing out on a very big opportunity. All the decision-makers gather at DGI.” Rick Mort, Technical Sales Manager, BAe Systems

“An extraordinary forum to showcase our products and capabilities, with a fantastic blend of industry and users.” Jill Smith, President & CEO, digitalGlobe

“...great forum for networking and for finding out about innovation in GIS.” Brian Routledge, Head of Operations Support, eu Satellite centre

“DGI is the key part of our calendar every year. An exclusive environment to meet senior decision-makers.” John Day, Director, Defence Business Development, esri uK

“I have attended DGI for 5 years, and each year I get a lot of new strategies from users, and new technologies from vendors.” Geoff Twentyman, Capability Advisor Geospatial Intelligence, dStL, uK Mod

“Excellent networking, top quality presentations. We are definitely coming back!” Simon Chesworth, Senior Account Manager, navteq

“...definitely the most focused event in the geospatial intelligence in the whole of Europe.” John Allan, Director of European Sales For Defence & Intelligence, digitalGlobe

“Remarkable keynote speakers, dynamic panel discussions and noteworthy technology demonstrations – very relevant to our target market.” Matthew M. O’Connell, CEO, President and Director, Geoeye

“ The demand for spatial information regarding population, social and cultural landscapes is beginning to be articulated. MGFlynn,USG2inISAF,haswrittenthatherequiresunfinished intelligence, so that Commanders and staffs can make decisions unencumbered by a process of prior analysis. It is also forwarded that our data, information and intelligenceacquisitionsystemsmustevolvefromathreatcentric CONOPS to a system capable of gathering data and information that captures more general information regarding the population and the operating environment. This has two effects on the research we are investing in.

Closer examination of how to harnesss internet processes such as crowdsourcing,neo-andqualitativegeographymethodsoffercollection of needed data as well.

The other one is the explosion of data available demands that we develop the data, meta-data and the semantic relationships between the data and information needs of a decision maker, providing relevant and sufficient products as opposed to creating data overload. New methods and schemas for storing and retrieving data will evolve beyond traditionalqueriesdefinedbyspatialboundaries.

Theproliferationofusers,acquisitionsystemsandtheemergence of network concepts, demand that our community be more precise. There are probably separate underpinnings to sub-components of the larger geospatial enterprise, one for each user base: 1) geo-creation, 2) analysis, 3) Commanders and 4) imagery community. ”Michael Powers will be chairing the Human Terrain Analysis Focus day on the 27th of January.

DEVELOPING A HUMAN TERRAIN ANALYSIS STRATEGY TO INTEGRATE INTO YOUR GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE CAPABILITY FOR EFFECTIVE IN-THEATRE DECISION SUPPORTJanuary 27, 2011“Eight years into the war in Afghanistan, the U.S. intelligence community is only marginally relevant to the overall strategy. Having focused the overwhelming majority of its collection efforts and analytical brainpower on insurgent groups, the vast intelligence apparatus is unable to answer fundamental questions about the environment in which U.S. and allied forces operate and the people they seek to persuade. Ignorant of local economics and landowners, hazy about who the powerbrokers are and how they might be influenced, incurious about the correlations between various development projects and the levels of cooperation among villagers, and disengaged from people in the best position to find answers – whether aid workers or Afghan soldiers – U.S. intelligence officers and analysts can do little but shrug in response to high level decision-makers seeking the knowledge, analysis, and information they need to wage a successful counterinsurgency.”

From report on “Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan” by Major General Michael T. Flynn, USA; Captain Matt Pottinger, USMC; Paul D. Batchelor, DIA

This day will focus on the need for every defence intelligence organisation to develop a human terrain analysis strategy. Most intelligence and geospatial organisations in defence forces around the world are or will soon be tasked with developing and implementing a human terrain strategy. This means you will have to learn about human terrain analysis, set goals and implement an effective strategy in your organisation.

Using The Latest Satellite Technology To Manage Sea Waters In Norway

Richard B. Olsen, Chief Scientist, Land and Air Systems Division, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI)

Norway has jurisdiction over ocean areas at least 7 times its land area, and has used satellite imagery since the mid-1990’s in maritime surveillance for oil spill detection, sea ice mapping and fisheries monitoring. Most of the ocean areas are above the Arctic Circle and polar orbiting satellites are particularly well suited to meet these Norwegian monitoring and surveillance requirements. The FFI has developed a proposal for the Norwegian Space Centre, to build and evaluate a very small polar orbiting satellite for intercepting AIS signals in Norwegian waters. The ground segment consists of a control centre at FFI and a receiving station (Svalsat) on Spitsbergen. FFI has been responsible for all the system requirements, space qualification of the payload, and software development. The northern location of the SVALSAT station makes it possible to communicate with the satellite in every orbit, thus providing short data delivery times to Norwegian users. The satellite was launched from India 12th of July, and is expected to operate for 3 years. FFI will be responsible for operations, data evaluation and developing an evolution plan for follow-on satellites.• Strategies and goals of the new satellite project• Key challenges in managing and analyzing the retrieved data• Measuring results of the new satellite project• Lessons learnt, future challenges, projects and vision

Providing A Standard Format For The Use And Exchange Of GIS Documents With Non-GIS Users

Ray Caputo, Army GeoPDF Project Lead /Geographer, Geospatial Center (AGC), U.S. Army

Join Ray Caputo for an overview on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Army Geospatial Center’s GeoPDF Project. Working with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), AGC has created unclassified/for official-use-only GeoPDF Country DVDs. The project began by taking all of the NGA standard map sheets for a test country. They were scanned and converted to GeoPDFs, and packaged with an index sheet for easy use. Having the NGA products on just one DVD for use in a demand based replication environment was an astonishing sight for many people. AGC has created DVDs for just about every country in the world, and are distributing these to the military. AGC obtained all 60,000 USGS Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) files and has converted them all into GeoPDFs. AGC has given the GeoPDFs to USGS, who has made them available free via the USGS on-line store (www.store.usgs.gov). AGC also has begun to convert their Urban Tactical Planners (UTP), Engineering Route Studies and Urban Water Graphics into GeoPDFs and is also creating GeoPDF BuckEye Mapbooks and GeoPDF Country Overviews and will begin to convert all NGA’s Arc Digital Raster Graphics (ADRG) and Controlled Image Base (CIB) into GeoPDFs in the near future.

Delivery Of A Geo Server For Land Forces Personnel, Providing Datasets With Global Coverage Onto The MOD Fixed Infrastructure

Maj RE Vicky J Roberts, SO2 GeoInt, ISTAR Dte, HQ Land Forces, UK MOD

This presentation will tell you about the delivery of a geo server for Land Forces personnel, providing datasets with global coverage on the MOD fixed infrastructure (DII). The datasets are not just base foundation data, but also dynamic vector overlay data which can be owned and edited by various parties. Security can be established to allow only certain users to access certain data sets. The project is called Project LAMBTON coming as it does with the LAMBTON Geospatial Application Platform. It will provide direct support to Defence UK Operations and will allow training/situational awareness and reach-back support for those in operations including Afghanistan. Maj RE Vicky J Roberts will address not just the technical capability, but also some of the wider issues such as ownership and challenges with delivery, including security constraints, architecture design, timelines, and cost.

The quantity of data, images and information is growing exponentially. Interoperability and collaboration is imperative. Giving individual users access to more information and intelligence is a challenge for every defence organisation globally. Common standards need to be achieved and maintained. The only way forward is for the governments and defence organisations to continue working in concert with the technology and solution providers. Join this session to hear a debate about the future solutions and technological advances in defence geo capabilities. Focus on how the solution providers should develop their products to best suit the needs of the governments. Bring your ideas to the debate and ask questions.

10:30 Morning coffee & demonstrations in the exhibition hall11:00 Strategic Approach To Using GIS Intelligence For Dispute

Resolution Jonathan Dingle, Mediator, & Judith Kelbie, Mediator, Trust Mediation

Dispute resolution is nothing new – the armed services and the Royal Navy have been involved in kinetic dispute resolution for centuries. The art of non-kinetic GIS-intelligence dispute resolution is equally ancient: gunboat diplomacy that used information from the surveys of Cook and Magellan to provide an advantage was well documented several hundred years ago.

Mediation is an equally historic process, and this has come back into prominence in the last 20 to 30 years, initially in America, but now worldwide. Jonathan Dingle and Judith Kelbie have been at the forefront of its advances over the last decade. In, border, boundary, or littoral disputes, fishing/EEZ areas, oil issues, or environmental compensation cases, the ability of a mediator to facilitate resolution is greatly enhanced by accurate information.

Participants in relevant disputes are encouraged to consider what fused information can provide objective criteria against which a settlement can be determined and resolved. Jonathan and Judith will discuss and demonstrate how mediation works, how states and major organisations are training their experts, and in what ways GIS-intelligence can be deployed and employed in dispute resolution involving both governments and commercial entities. They will refer to certain historic disputes and challenge you to look at how settlement might then (or even now) be facilitated with different levels or types of GIS intelligence.

A VIEWPOINT FROM GERMANY Brig. Gen. Schmidt-Bleker, Director, Bundeswehr Geoinformation Office (BGIO), Germany

“ GEOINT from the German Perspective is the outcomeofthecombinationofquality-assuredgeospatial information with verified feature data of the military intelligence or other intelligence sources forcompliancewitharequirement.Geospatial

Intelligence consists of imagery intelligence and geospatial information.

From the German point of view not all georeferenced information is geospatial intelligence. Our approach is different - we try to take all geo-scientific related subjects into consideration in order to provide coordinated in-depth analysis to the Commander. This is far more than

justGeospatialorgeospatialintelligence.Wefavourtherecognisedenvironmental picture as the geoscientific - or if you wish GEOMETOC - contribution.

The amount of imagery that we already have in operations probably meetstherequirements-atleastfromthegeospatial(orGEOMETOCor environmental) perspective, also the current available resolution is sufficient for Geo.

The issue is more - what information do we get out of it - and of course the distribution of the “common geospatial framework”, which also includes imagery of certain types as the authoritative data source for planning, conduct and coordination of operations. One main task certainly is to manage the data and provide it in the right format to all forces on the ground.

Another issue is our ability to release imagery in the context of the Comprehensive Approach. An image itself is not sufficient - we should be able to get evaluated information out of it. Therefore we see the future not in ever more or newer update cycles of imagery but in improvementsofcontrolledqualitytoensurefightingoffthesamemapasrequiredfromtheatres.

Our Approach To Geospatial Information Is Different

Col John Fitzgerald,

Senior Staff Officer,

Intelligence Policy,

International Military Staff,

hQ, nAto

“ Colonel Fitzgerald is currently the senior staff officer

responsible for geospatial, imagery and ISR policy in

the International Military Staff at NATO HQ. John took

assignments with topographic and aerial reconnaissance

units, a series of Army and Defence staff appointments

which focused increasingly on developing national imagery

capability,andmanagingnationaldefencerequirements

for geospatial information. For the last decade he has

held a variety of NATO positions at all levels from field

deployment to NATO HQ.

The traditional hardcopy “situation map,” with its pins and

overlays, has long been the basis of command and control.

Digital geo capabilities, however, enable much greater

efficiency,accuracyandflexibilityinassemblingthecommon

operating picture, in analysing it, and in communicating it. In

turn this shortens decision cycles and facilitates grappling

with complex scenarios. To be most effective, the geo

capabilities in C2 must be balanced with improvements in

other areas such as communications bandwidth, reporting

procedures, force tracking, and the intelligence cycle.

Whilstcontinuingtodemandexcellenceinthegeospatial

and imagery sciences, and providing robust services for

C2andotherfunctions,Iwouldfocusonrequirements

processes and support to customers, especially through

better engaging intelligence collection management. ”

The Role Of Geo In Command & Control

Interview With Lt. Col. Michael Cairns, Commanding Officer Mapping & Charting Establishment, Commandant School of Military, National Defence, CanadaLieutenant-ColonelCairnsstartedhis

military career at the age of 17 when he

joinedthePrinceEdwardIslandRegiment.ByJuly2003

he was selected to become Deputy Commanding Officer

(DCO) of MCE. During his posting as DCO he also had

a seven-month operational deployment as the Chief of

Geomatics for ISAF and the Kabul Multinational National

BrigadeRoto0inAfghanistanreceivingaDeputyChiefof

Defence Staff commendation for his achievements. In April

2007hehadtheuniqueopportunitytojointheCanadian

Strategic Advisory Team-Afghanistan for a deployment as

a senior advisor to the Afghanistan Government. He was

posted in July 2008 into the position of Deputy Director

Geospatial Intelligence under the Chief of Defence

Intelligence. He was recently selected as Commanding

Officer of Mapping and Charting Establishment.

dGi Question: Withthequantityofimageryand

information growing every day, how do you see the

defence geospatial intelligence function changing/coping

withitskeytasks?

Lt. col. cairns’s answer: Data management is the key

to dealing with the huge volumes of imagery (including Full

Motion Video) that are available today. The central focus

of the Mapping and Charting Establishment is the data

managing element with maintains the “gold” database for

all Canadian Forces users to access and download. The

data is fully attributed and has detailed metadata to enable

the searching and viewing of the data on-line.

dGi Question: Geo capabilities will soon become the

basis of every command and control operation in every

defenceorganisation.Willthatchangethingsdramatically?

Lt. col. cairns’s answer: Embedding geo capabilities

into every command and control system will increase the

requirementforaccurate,fullyattributeddataaswellas

up-to-data imagery. Data management will become the

key to success and the demand for Geo Technician will

increase (and has increased) as systems come on-line.

Data available could become the key factor in conducting

operations.

dGi Question: If you had a magic wand and could

change only one thing in the way geoint world operates,

whatwouldyoudo?

Lt. col. cairns’s answer: I would increase bandwidth

and storage capacity so that data could be seamlessly

shared and distributed.

Geo Has Forever Changed The Way The Decisions Are Made

Captain Kjetil Utne,

Director,

Military Geographic Service,

norwegian Mod

“ Geo is becoming the basis of most decisions in-theatre and in HQ. It has changed the way

soldiers and generals make decisions, analyse information and operate. It has especially affected

the operations in remote areas, with unfamiliar environment. GIS is and will continue to be a force

multiplier and risk reducer to decision makers at all levels. Geo is already an embedded and

implemented part of C4I and related processes. As more functionality, solutions and services will

be realised in these systems based on Geo information, the more important accurate and timely

information will become. A common service oriented network solution, where information and

services might be published and made available across all domains is what the community needs.

There are many challenges that need to be overcome related to rules for information release,

intellectual property rights, costs and many others. I am hoping to discuss all of these issues with

my colleagues and peers internationally at DGI 2011. ”
