• Enable joint warfighter to use the power of the NSG to support the
mission
• Enable joint warfighter to provide value-added GEOINT (vetted) back

JWIG Process Overview
The JWIG process provides a common
framework for managing GEOINT within a
JTF
GEOINT Cell coordinates five functions that
make up the JWIG process
Define GEOINT mission requirements
Discover and obtain GEOINT to support mission
Evaluate content and form of GEOINT
Use and share GEOINT with mission partners
Maintain GEOINT

GEOINT Cell
Establish and maintain relationships across
the JTF and its mission partners
Collaboration across all functional areas
within the JTF, all JTF components, higher
headquarters, and the rest of the NSG
Traditional GEOINT and Intel partners
Geospatially enabled functional areas such as
logistics, operations, plans, weather, etc.
Cell may be centrally located or distributed
throughout the JTF and connected by
networks

JGA Implementation
Continue working current enhancement efforts with NGA
organizations, COCOMs, and Services
Standards, training, unified operations, federated production, etc.
Expand engagement with Agencies and International Partners
Develop a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) that will:
Maintain an end-to-end perspective
Primarily focus on identifying improvements at the national level that
will enhance JTF level capabilities
• Emphasize actions that offer near-term benefit
• Bring together existing expertise and data (best practices)
Build on Joint Pub 2-03, JWIG CONOPS, and JGIT DCR
Enable the main functions of the GEOINT Cell
Facilitate the establishment of Joint capabilities and processes
Embrace and complement related actions described in previous SIPs
Begin actions to achieve near-term benefits
• Pursue the expanded use of Theater Geospatial Database
and Geospatial Product Library in Joint environment

Questions?
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Define GEOINT Mission Requirements
Collect and prioritize GEOINT mission
requirements from across the JTF
Define mission partners across the NSG
Define product requirements
Define data layers for template
Baseline layers form starting point for analysis,
visualization, and sharing
Scenario-dependent layers typically change
frequently or are somewhat specialized
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Define GEOINT Mission Requirements
Identify, review, and coordinate geographic area
coverage requirements
Support Annex M (GI&S) and Appendix 7 to Annex B
(intelligence) of Operation Plans and Concept Plans
Define search parameters
classification level
content and completeness
resolution and accuracy
currency
Define form
electronic file format
printed hardcopy
electronic media
exchange format
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Discover & Obtain GEOINT
Utilize web-based services to:
Conduct metadata searches across all security domains
Discover existing data sources and planned source
acquisition
Obtain available GEOINT data and identify coverage gaps
Access GEOINT directories, catalogs, web mapping services,
and libraries
Leverage NSG member and partner organization GEOINT
capabilities
Manage current hardcopy storage and logistics ability
to deliver hard copy GEOINT products
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
GEOINT is evaluated in order to determine
whether it is available at or near the required
resolution and is in the form required
If the required GEOINT does not exist or does not
fully meet the stated requirements, GEOINT may
need to be generated
If the GEOINT is insufficient, the relevant data
may need to augment with value added
conflate
transform
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Conflate GEOINT
Coordinate the conflation of data by identifying,
resolving, and merging different spatial renditions
of what is actually the same entity
Conflation decisions will balance data currency,
accuracy, source, and density to determine the
GEOINT that will best satisfy specific needs of the
mission
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Manage production of GEOINT
Request combatant command support to engage other NSG
members and partner organizations to collaborate through
unified operations channels and procedures
Coordinate data requests across the JTF to be submitted in
compliance with NSG procedures and ensure these
requirements are documented in the appropriate system
Coordinate the collection of geospatial intelligence data
utilizing best available assets and exploit this data to extract
the required geospatial information
• coordinate the collection and exploitation of organic
assets
• coordinate with the combatant command to submit a
collection and/or production requirement for prioritization
and submission to available NSG assets
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Augment available GEOINT
Based on the specific needs of the mission being
supported, the GEOINT obtained may need to be
augmented with value-added information provided
at the operational level
coordinate the generation of this value-added data
utilizing in-theater and/or reach back capabilities
Value-adding occurs based on available resources
and adheres to established data standards and
specifications
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Put GEOINT into usable form
Filter mission-relevant GEOINT
Put GEOINT in proper format to include electronic
file, electronic media, and printed hard copy
Optimize GEOINT for performance without altering
relationships or attributes
Coordinate the production of correlated databases
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Use & Share GEOINT
Use GEOINT to more effectively complete
assigned missions
View and modify features, attributes, and
metadata across mission function and
classification boundaries
Integrate GEOINT into the shared awareness of
the operational environment in two, three, and
four dimensions (including time) in all security
domains.
Perform basic analyses such as line of sight and
route planning, and complex services such as
areas of cover and concealment and avenues of
approach
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Use & Share GEOINT
GEOINT at the JTF stored in available theater
holdings
Local value-added data is integrated into the local
database and forwarded by theater data stewards for
integration into NSG data holdings
Share GEOINT with mission partners and other NSG
Employ web services in order to achieve and maintain
shared awareness of the operational environment with
mission partners
Employ collaboration tools in order share data between JTF
elements
Web-host value-added GEOINT to be accessed by others
within the NSG
UNCLAS//FOUO
DRAFT
Maintain GEOINT
Coordinate across all JTF elements, the combatant
command, and NGA deployed analysis and
production personnel to ensure the availability of
theater storage capability
Utilize metadata standards and standard procedures
to integrate updates from the field that have been
manually validated as an improvement to existing
content within the geospatial data store
Receive updates, keep current and validated for
accuracy and consistency
UNCLAS//FOUO
Purge databases and archive deleted holdings as necessary
Establish version control and naming conventions
Manage and document holdings
Monitor and track holdings to ensure use of most current
and relevant GEOINT in accordance with mission
