NGA’s Role in Homeland SecurityOperating Assumption

D/NGA is the Functional Manager for GEOINT for the NSG.

“… and will provide responsive GEOINT products, support, services, and information to DoD Components, and for national intelligence purposes, to the DNI, the non-DoDmembers of the IC, the National Security and other Federal Government Departments and agencies.”

PMH is providing GEOINT for the federal community in support of the Homeland Security mission

Through partnerships, build integrated geospatial datasets to support the HLS community

-Data Broker Role-Leader in HS Geospatial Data Standards

Provide geospatial intelligence analytic support for the HLS mission

-Intelligence, Law Enforcement, Border Monitoring, National Security Special Events, Disaster Preparedness and Response



Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) Tiger Team

• Joint NIMA – USGS effort– Full-time, May-June 2002

• Key Elements– Urban areas

• Prioritization methodology• Prioritization results• Urban extents

– Minimum Essential Data Sets• Urban versus National• MEDS Features and Attributes



What has the Homeland Security Infrastructure Program become?

• An Acquisition Program– Data requirements document– Collection & acquisition strategy– Budget planning tool

• A Comprehensive Data Management Effort– National Database of Critical Infrastructure

• ~2000 data layers, ~ 50 million records, terabytes of imagery & LiDAR– Federal, state, local, and commercial data sources (vector)

– 8 Servers at both Bethesda and St. Louis• Production, Imagery, Working database servers • Infrastructure maintenance & continuity requirements across the systems

• A Product– HSIP GOLD

• Deliverable subset of NGA’s HLS data holdings to Federal partners • ~ 300 data layers, ~ 10 million records

– Foundation for NGA’s web-based services for HLS• A Community Leadership Vehicle for NGA

– NGA excels as the GEOINT provider for DoD & IC supporting HLS– Data Broker for HLS

• DHS leveraging HSIP GOLD for State & Local outreach



Homeland Security Infrastructure Program

• Imagery– 1 ft or better resolution– 2 year currency

desirable

• Elevation Data– 1 m over urban core – 30 m or better data over

NGA Data Acquisition StrategyNGA Data Acquisition Strategy

•Acquire Federal Databases- Available at no cost, but needs evaluation for quality/accuracy- National level data releasable to State and Local during crisis

- Several data sets replaced by more accurate commercially available data

•Federally-Licensed Commercial Data (National Level)- Thorough Review of selected Infrastructure databases

- Identify ‘Best Available’ for purchase and distribution

•Partnerships with State and Local Authorities- MOU with the USGS to acquire local GIS Datasets, - HSIP FREEDOM

- Goal to create data from state & local sources without license restrictions and fees

NGA’s Goal –

Unified Vector Data Set• Exceed the MEDS in content

• Regularly Updated

• Consistent improvement in content, accuracy, and quality over time

• Deliverable to HLS Community in DVD

• Future Web-Based

Data Reality

• Inconsistent Availability, Quantity, Quality & Currency

Therefore –

NGA partnered with TGS to provide Quality Assurance improvements (accuracy and Data content) to selected critical infrastructure sector datasets.

Background of HSIP Gold Deliverable

• HSIP Gold 2005– Delivered in September 2005 and provided to federal users as well States

effected by Katrina/Rita (LA, TX, AR, MS, AL, & FL)– 185 Feature classes distributed as a 2 DVD set– 6 separate Federal providers, 8 separate Commercial providers– 5.5 gb. of uncompressed Infrastructure data.– 16 gb. of uncompressed Navteq road data– Internal PMHD Non-standard symbology.

• HSIP Gold 2007– 300 feature classes distributed as 2 DVD set– 25 separate Federal providers, 8 separate Commercial providers– 11 gb. of uncompressed Infrastructure data– 3.5 gb of Smart Data Compressed (.sdc) Navteq road network data– 400 mb. of LandScan Population data.– FGDC Homeland Security Working Group symbology.



Status of HSIP Gold 2007 Deliveries

Program Partners Working Group (PPWG)

• Purpose– Implement the Geospatial Information for HS Annex to NGA and

USGS MOU• Products

– Partner Requirements Documentation, Outreach, Communication, Data (characterization, model, development, dissemination, licensing, contracting, acquisition)

• HS Community “gate” to more public datasets, resources, data acquisitions

• Working-level meeting on 9 August 07 at USGS– Annex and PPWG comments– Sub-group leads, deliverables, and schedule– HSIP Freedom SOW – HIFLD Briefing

PPWG important to HSIP Way Ahead



State & Local Data Sharing Strategy- State & Local Data support to NGA and DHS

- Working via USGS to access local GIS data sets to support SSEs- Washington DC – State of the Union, 2005 Presidential Inauguration, Operation

Serenade, World Bank/International Monetary Fund meetings - New York City - Republican National Convention, 9/11 Memorial, United Nations

General Assembly Opening, - Boston – Democratic National Convention- Savannah/Sea Island – G-8 Summit- Miami – Free Trade of the Americas, Air & Sea Show- Jacksonville, Houston, and San Diego – NFL Superbowl Games- Chicago, Milwaukee – MLB All Star Games- Indianapolis & Boise – National Governor’s Association Meeting

- NGA support to State & Locals- Acquisition of 1 ft resolution color imagery

- 133 of 133 Urban Areas contracted/collected to date, all destined for the USGS The National Map and available to State & Local users

- LIDAR urban elevation data (30 cities to date) also shareable



Way Ahead• Provide HSIP visualization and data for mission partners

– NSG Google Earth™ visualization in Fall 2007– NGA Gateway (secure nets) in Winter 2008– HSIP Gold Copy 2008 in Spring 2008– HSIP Freedom in FY 2009

• Reduce commercial data dependence as HSIP Freedom matures

• Become the advanced analysts for HS/HD community • Transition to DHS GMO by 2012

– Begin transition planning through Program Partnership Working Group

– Assess the DHS GDM for HSIP as the model matures• Become HSIP management/oversight not data maintenance

and dissemination

NGA as the Advanced HSIP User



Take Aways• NGA’s partnerships with other Federal Agencies and

with Industry facilitate effective and efficient information acquisition and sharing– Close coordination with USGS (includes with State & Locals)– Flexible contracting vehicles for imagery, elevation and

infrastructure– Commercial based tools and solutions, data-centric focus

• NGA is uniquely suited to provide GEOINT to support all HLS Mission areas– Coordination among all levels of government, to include local, and

with industry is providing responsive and cost-effective GEOINT

• HSIP directly supports DoD planning & operations– 38% of HSIP GOLD customers



Take Aways• HSIP is the primary geospatial database to satisfy the

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) to “ …geospatially image, map, and sort the Nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources…”

– DHS officially adopted HSIP as the foundation Common Operational Data (COD)

– DHS has integrated HSIP into the DHS Common Analytic Viewer (iCAV) provides the COP within the DHS National Operations Center (NOC) – March 16, 2007

• Impact and implication of the National Applications Office still to be determined. – Leadership role in the HLS community expected, but not in place

yet to understand its impact to NGA’s HLS support mission
