US Army Intelligence & Security
Command (INSCOM)
• 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
JFCOM JIOC

Geodynamic situational awareness
• Need:
– Monitor moving assets relative to geospatial data
– Near-real-time, multi-int
– Interrogate & query geospatial data
• STK technology application:
– STK engine, adapted as a situational-awareness viewer
(GDM)
– Integrated with ESRI ArcGIS capabilities
– Simulyze Flight Control processes real-time data feeds

STK technology application:
“geodynamic display manager”
• STK’s complex
geometry engine
accurately displays and
analyzes dynamic
objects in real or
simulated time
• Analysts query GIS
data of interest
• Includes interrogation of
GIS meta-data

STK technology application:
“flight control”
• Integrated application
developed by Simulyze,
Inc.
• Translates message traffic
from data feeds into GDM
objects for display
• Lets user interrogate
messages, filter viewed
objects, customize alerting

Netcentric geospatial intel sharing
• INSCOM multi-int geodatabases
– Large data volumes
– Multi-theater ESRI geodatabases (SDE)
– Multi-client, available to Army and Joint Forces
• STK 4D common operating picture (4D-COP)
– 4D = 3D (x-y-z) + time
– Fuse shared maps, imagery, geospatial intel layers with real-time
data feeds
– Single integrated picture of land, sea, air, space

Common questions answered
by the 4D-COP
• What assets are in my
area of interest?
• Where are my blue
forces?
• When is my next imagery
opportunity?
• Does blue forces activity intersect with enemy
travel routes?

4D-COP: From space to ground
• Space assets
– Accurate picture of national assets & fields of view
• Air assets
–

–
Real time view of collection platforms
Accurate sensor footprints
Real time tactical data feeds
3D ATO/ACO with timeline view
• Ground and sea forces
– Blue force tracking via GCCS
– Mil STD 2525b symbology
– Geo-DB’s hold ground force data, disposition, etc
• Mapping
– Real time NITF imagery
– Multiple layers of maps/imagery
– Feature datasets: Roads, railroads, towers, etc

independently for
situational
awareness
