Purpose

• Provide an overview of USAREUR and USARPAC
  efforts to develop and implement a Theater
  Geospatial Database (TGD).

Detailed questions will be answered at the TGD
Workshop or demonstration.

Problem Set

• There is no standardized theater geospatial
  database available to support geospatial and
  intelligence analysis during the IPB and EBA
  process.
• There is no effective method for sharing
  geospatial data with the National
  Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
• Geospatial operations are product-based and
  therefore data are created, managed and
  disseminated in an ad hoc approach which varies
  from theater to theater. Its like building cars
  one car at a time
• Standard NGA datasets are incomplete and do not
  meet data-centric operational requirements.

Battlefield EBA Engineering Battlefield

Solution Set

• Standardized data structure on Army fielded
  systems Digital Topographic Support System
  Base (DTSS-B)
• Standardized commercial-off-the-shelf (SCOTS)
  software tools to create, analyze, manage and
  disseminate geospatial data and products
• Standardized metadata scheme based on existing
  standards
• Populate the TGD data model with data from NGAs
  Geospatial Intelligence Feature Database (GIFD)
  and other sources
• Develop a data-centric geospatial concept of
  operations
• Promote standardization by establishing an Army
  TGD/DTSS Configuration Control Board
• Implement a scaled TGD capability on all DTSS at
  other echelons and theaters

7
What is the TGD?

• Standardized hardware systems DTSS with
  additional HW/SW
• Standardized commercial-off-the-shelf (SCOTS)
  software ESRI (ArcGIS/IMS/SDE, PLTS, JTX) ERDAS
  Imagine, SOCET SET, SQL Server 2000
• Standardized data model based on the FACC
• Standardized metadata scheme critical for data
  discovery and analysis
• Standardized data-centric geospatial Tactics,
  Techniques and Procedures (TTP)
• Personnel military, DA civilian, and contractors

BENEFITS OF TGD

• Critical to transformation to data-centric
  operations
• Externalizes relevant data from NGA (i.e., GIFD)
• Provides data for terrain and intelligence
  analysis support to IPB/EBA process
• Vector data support to future systems (i.e.,
  DGCS, FCS)
• Standardizes and enforces data-centric TTPs
• User-friendly web-enabled interface via SIPRNET
• More efficient bandwidth usage than raster data
• Promotes data accuracy and integrity
• Increased data visibility via standardized
  metadata
• End-user on-line help capability
• Leverage development efforts by other agencies

36
Challenges With Current NGA Data

• Vmap?FFD?VITD Spec
• Unified Data Profile (2122 Feature Categories)
• FACC (6061 possible attribution schemes)
• SDSFIE
• GIFD

37
USAREUR Challenges

• Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Site
  Storage
• Maintain a synergistic relationship between the
  Engineer and Intelligence staff
• Upgrade inter/intra communication networks
• Develop capability to push data to JWICS
• No POM funding for TGD sustainment
• No established process for reconciling
  databases with tactical units and NGA

• ADDRESSES THEATER UNIQUE DATA REQUIREMENTS

51
CONCLUSION

• THE ARMYS OBJECTIVE FORCE CONCEPT AND NIMAS
  STRATEGIC INTENT AND NSGI CONCEPTS ARE NOT
  POSSIBLE WITHOUT A STANDARDIZED COMPREHENSIVE TGD
  TO CAPTURE CRITICAL VALUE-ADDED DATA
• ALL COMBATANT COMMANDERS AND THEIR ARMY
  COMPONENT SHOULD ADOPT THE TGD CONCEPT AS AN
  INTERIM SOLUTION UNTIL A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION
  IS DEVELOPED BY NIMA
• THE TGD WILL PROVIDE A STANDARD AND SCALEABLE
  DATA STRUCTURE THAT WOULD GREATLY ENHANCE CURRENT
  AND FUTURE CAPABILITIES
• EXISTING NIMA STANDARD AND QUALIFIED DATASETS
  WOULD FORM THE FOUNDATION OF THE TGD
• COMMERCIAL-OFF-THE-SHELF SOFTWARE COULD BE USED
  TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED DATABASE AND PRODUCTION
  MANAGEMENT TOOLS
• A FULLY FUNCTIONING TGD AND SOFTWARE TOOLS
  COULD BE DEVELOPED ON THE DTSS-B WITHIN ONE YEAR

52
RECOMMENDATION

• ALL ARMY THEATERS, TEC, USAES AND NIMA SHOULD
  FORM A TEAM TO DEVELOP THE TGD
• DEVELOP A STANDARD COMPREHENSIVE CONCEPTUAL AND
  PHYSICAL DATA MODEL BASED ON THE NIMA GIFD AS A
  MINIMUM
• DEVELOP STANDARD METADATA PROFILES AND
  EXTENTIONS
• TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXISTING COTS SOFTWARE

FACTS
Maintaining a topographic database is a critical
function of all topographic operations (refer to
Appendix D). Database development and management
is a high-priority mission for all topographic
units within the theater. GI databases include
old data, new data, accurate data, qualified
data, and multiformatted hard-copy and digital
data. The analyst and the commander must
understand the limitations, accuracy, and
intended uses of the GI database. Database
management includes the acquisition,
manipulation, formatting, storage, and
distribution of all hard-copy and digital data
and products (FM 3-34.230, para. 3-88.,
Topographic Operations) 1 of 3
60
FACTS

• DTSS-B will be fielded to theaters (29th Eng Bn,
  30th Eng Bn and 60th Eng Det) in FY03
• Data creation/management is an important theater
  mission (IAW 3-34.230)
• Data creation and management tactics, techniques
  and procedures will be required
• Civilians (DAC or contractor) will be required to
  provide continuity
• ESRI Arc products will provide the development
  platform/environment
• 2 of 3

61
FACTS

• Commercial Joint Mapping Tool Kit (C/JMTK) will
  also use ESRI/ERDAS products
• DTSS-B will use Informix as its relational
  database management system
• Robust communications will be required
• Training will be required
• The TGD must support a Joint Task Force
• Standard symbolization and rendering software
  will be required
• 3 of 3

62
ASSUMPTIONS

• New technologies in maintaining data topology
  will facilitate data conflation and updating in
  the future
• Standard data format export software will be
  required (i.e., VPF, RPF, DTED, etc.)
• DTSS-B provides the required tools for NIMA data
  set creation and management
• Imagery will be available from intelligence
  sources to support data extraction
• A strategy for synchronizing/conflating data
  between echelons will be required

63
BENEFITS OF TGD

• Critical to transformation to data-centric
  operations
• Externalizes relevant data from NIMA (i.e.,
  GIFD/ERM)
• Provides effective terrain and intelligence
  analysis support to IPB/EBA process
• ESRI geodatabase stores topology and supports
  Cross-theme topologic searches
• Vector data support to future systems (i.e.,
  FCS)
• Standardizes and enforces data-centric TTPs
• User-friendly web-enabled interface via SIPRNET
• More efficient bandwidth usage than raster data
• Promotes data accuracy and integrity
• Increased data visibility via standardized
  metadata
• End-user on-line help capability
• Leverage development efforts by other agencies
