Integrating Intelligence Panelists bring together civilian, intelligence, military and warfighter perspectives. Focusing directly on the theme of the GEOINT 2011 Symposium, a panel on Tuesday morning brought together the perspectives of the civilian government, intelligence agency, military service and warfighter on the integration of intelligence. The focus of the panel was on taking a holistic approach to intelligence integration and determining how it can enable the defense, intelligence and homeland security communities to accomplish their missions. Following are brief accounts of the opening remarks of each of the four panelists. Kshemendra Paul, program manager, Information Sharing Environment (ISE), Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Paul explained that the purpose of the ISE is to improve the sharing of terrorism, homeland security, and WMD related information. It cuts across federal government, state and local, private and international organizations, including five core communities--law enforcement, homeland security, defense, foreign affairs and intelligence. “It’s a distributed and decentralized concept, driven off harmonized policies, common business practices, standards and architectures, with strong privacy and civil liberties protections,” he said. Paul pointed to three key ideas for responsible

information sharing—standards, stewardship and safeguarding. “Standards are the foundation for interoperability,” he said. “When we look at collaboration and cost reduction, we need to work with standards. That’s not a new concept for this community, and we’re already working with the Open Geospatial Consortium on bringing some of the standards that are key to this community into our standards framework for the ISE. “Over time, the linkages in the data are more valuable than the data itself, and we need to make sure that we have effective policies and procedures to allow for stewardship over the lifecycle of data,” he added. Ed Mornston, director, Joint Intelligence Task Force-Combating Terrorism, Directorate of Analysis, Defense Intelligence Agency. “The perspective that I bring to this group is from having been involved in combating terrorism for the past few years,” Mornston said. “What I’ve found is that integration has been an essential element of all aspects of the counter terrorism fight—assessing the threat, communicating to decision makers and then taking action. “My observation is that in terms of a level of maturity, the counter-terrorism community is Continued On pAGE 10

Beyond Full Motion Video BAE Systems looks ahead to the next level of ISR. Even as full motion video (FMV) takes center stage in both the world of ISR and the fight in Afghanistan, BAE Systems (Booth 529) is looking ahead to the next level in the evolution of battlefield information. “Everyone talks about FMV, but that is going to plateau,” Mike McKinney, director of ISR Analysis for BAE Systems, said in an interview Tuesday. “It’s not going to go away, but it’s going to be used differently. We’re right at the period of transition from FMV to ISR.” Not only is the company looking to new sensor technologies, such as wide area persistent surveillance, LiDAR, hyperspectral imaging, and ground moving target indicators (GMTI), but it also is busy laying the groundwork for the transition through extensive training and other programs. “We’re trying to get ahead of the whole process, so that when it does happen, and the customer says this is what we need, we’ve got trained analysts who are ready to go, and sensors that will be useable on day one in a way that will satisfy the customer,” he said. “We’ve been focusing primarily on FMV,” said McKinney, whose company has won over 90 percent of available competitive positions for FMV analysis and is the largest provider of analytical services to the intelligence community and Department of Defense, especially in deployed services.

➥ Continued from page 1 “But what we want to figure out how to be poised and ready to go for the next evolution of ISR. As sensors come out, we’re also designing the training and software to make sure that when it gets to the analyst, it’s very useable as it comes off the production line,” he added. “These new technologies are all going to be tomorrow’s FMV.” For Wes Green, program director, ISR analysis for the company, one key focus is on streamlining of tradecraft. “That streamlining starts with when we have analysts sitting with engineers in the design phase, talking about how in a perfect world this is how we would like to receive information, and the types of information we would like to receive, so we can answer the problem sets that are going on in the community today. “That’s a critical thing that we as a company bring, because of our product and manufacturing lines and our services side, and how we integrate the two together,” Green said. Another important area is Big Data, or the explosion of information available to analysts from sensors and other sources. “With the revolution of sensors, you have a tremendous amount of data that is coming at the analyst, and it’s greater than what we’ve seen before,” Green noted. “We’ve reached the point with data that you can no longer make a fire hose big enough to keep shoving it all out, because we don’t physically have enough eyeballs to receive that data. So we have to look at a different approach.” That’s vital in light of the anticipated budget situation, noted McKinney. “As some of the keynote speakers have said, we’re also going to have to figure out how to do more with less. How can we still get all the information we need from all the information we have, with fewer people?” “It’s also a realization of where we are in the ISR community,” Green continued. “In the past, FMV was the supported level of collection. Everything funneled in around how FMV worked. Now we’re seeing FMV becoming the supporting ISR function, where you see more emphasis on GMTI, LiDAR, and hyperspectral capabilities to do that find-and-fix work, and then FMV comes in and is a finishing solution, doing the ‘last tactical mile,’ and then pass that off to an operational element.” A key new technology is the Autonomous Real-time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance (ARGUS) system, which provides multiple video windows for persistent area surveillance and tracking capabilities for vehicles and dismounted soldiers. “You’re looking at the ability to maintain persistent awareness over a 40 sq. km area, and not just maintaining a large overview, but also 65 independently steerable windows,” Green explained. “When you talk about Big Data, one ARGUS can push the same number of

feeds that the entire Predator and Reaper fleet pushes right now. With one sensor being able to do that, it takes a different approach to analysis so that we can scale our solutions with our customer to do that. “We can no longer be in a push situation, but need to go to more of a pull system, where instead of having all that data flow, you define the critical junctures of analysis, through GMTI, categorize what you are seeing, and analysts then define that they want to see a certain portion of the battlefield,” he added. “What we’re trying to do is approach an analytical paradigm, where you don’t have to always see all the video. A combination of multi-discipline intelligence with ISR, such as GMTI or LiDAR, allows you to understand where the choke points are, so that you can make the critical decisions,” Green said. Green also offered some observations on the evolution of ISR and FMV analysis. “What we’ve seen in ISR analysis is a change in how the tradecraft has advanced, because our adversaries haven’t stayed static on the battlefield. So we’ve had to have an ongoing cycle of tactics and countertactics. One of the things that we used to answer a lot was the question of “what.’ It was a catalog of observables—two vehicles approaching and two people getting out. Now, we’ve advanced the tradecraft to where the what is not as important as the who and the why. “When you talk about who and why, you’re trying to define the critical points where it’s an actionable decision on the battlefield. That’s especially important in a counterinsurgency campaign, as we are today, because you want to make sure you understand the who and the why when you have adversaries who mix in and out of the population. “Getting there requires us to string our architecture to where you’re doing predictive battlespace and geospatial analysis to put your assets in the right places so you can answer the critical questions, to prevent enemy freedom of action and protecting our forces. “With a sensor like ARGUS, you’ve graduated from target persistence to network persistence. The levels of analysis that go with that also advance our tradecraft, because now we have to do more work on nodal analysis, recognizing the critical junctures and understanding the push versus pull system. You have to say, what are the key nodes that I want to affect the entire network. That’s what we’re talking about with wide area. “It is going to be a shift in analysis, and in how numbers of personnel are going to be employed, and the types of analysis that are going to be used, because you can’t just think about your own little patch of the earth, but you have to think about things in terms of 40 sq. km. That’s a big jump analytically,” Green said.

team. Hosted on a long-dwell unmanned aerial vehicle, each Gorgon Stare today provides uninterrupted, 24/7 visible and infrared coverage of city-sized areas. Through a ground station, the system supplies real-time motion video directly to theater and tactical forces engaged in combat and support operations. Motion video is simultaneously offered in three coverage tiers: the full field of view, multiple subviews of that full field of view, and in best-possible resolution tactical chipouts. In addition to real-time products for tactical and theater forces, this information is also available for near real-time forensic analysis and other support. The data is archived for long-term and post-mission investigation and analysis. In summing up the Gorgon Stare and the award it won, Meermans said, “We put together a system that we’re absolutely proud to be associated with because it’s out saving lives right now, and to win this award just does nothing but amplify that pride.”

Closer to the Sensors Mercury Computer Systems finds technology solutions. “What Mercury Computer Systems [Booth 645] does really well is that we serve and provide value very close to the sensor,” said Tom Roberts, Mercury’s solutions marketing manager. “What we provide are embedded image processing subsystems that take the input from a sensor and turn it into an image that starts to make sense to a human being.” In the past, Mercury’s mainly been a provider just of hardware components—sometimes just boards. “We’ve done that quite well, and we support a number of the leading programs for multiple types of sensing: SIGINT, radar, GEOINT. Programs we support with our subsystems include AEGIS, Patriot, Guardrail, SEWIP, JSF and others,” said Roberts. “As the DoD community as a whole, not just the GEOINT community, moves to provide more cost-effective solutions more quickly, we have stepped up and are providing more complete subsystems. What that allows is that the prime contractor can take this one piece of the overall problem and turn it over to Mercury. We’re experts in image and signal processing, supporting many programs. We are able to leverage what we learn in one program to add value for another program. We know how to build rugged real-time image and signal processing subsystems, using multiple processors and high bandwidth data fabrics. “We also innovate, using the newest technology.” The Gorgon Stare program is an example of this. “We implemented graphics processors in a design employing a range of other technologies to create an optimized image processing solution,” said Roberts. Mercury’s subsidiary, Mercury Federal Systems, is part of the Sierra Nevada Corporation (Booth 1017) (SNC)-led team that received the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s 2011 Industry Achievement Award. This prestigious annual award recognizes outstanding accomplishments in GEOINT tradecraft by an individual or team from industry. Mercury provided SNC with onboard real-time image processing and storage subsystems, which are key components of the U.S. Air Force’s Gorgon Stare persistent surveillance system, currently deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom.

Massive Data Management SGI and Cloudera sign cooperative agreement. Cloudera Inc., a provider of Apache Hadoopbased data management software and services, and SGI (Booth 801), have jointly announced the signing of an agreement for SGI to distribute Cloudera software pre-installed on SGI Hadoop Clusters. SGI, which recently set a world record performance benchmark for Terasort data processing and analysis leveraging Cloudera’s Distribution including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and is a member of the Cloudera Connect Partner Program, will resell and offer level one support for Cloudera software and services—including Cloudera University training courses—to its customers. Apache Hadoop is a powerful and disruptive open source technology that addresses the economic, flexibility and scalability issues surrounding massive amounts of enterprise data and enables actionable insights to be derived from structured and unstructured data sets. Hadoop, which forms the infrastructure foundation of many of the world’s leading social media companies, including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, has rapidly become a leading solution to the new challenges generated by Big Data. Together, SGI Hadoop clusters and Cloudera’s software, services and support form a complete, end-to-end solution for enterprises deploying
Apache Hadoop in performance-intensive environments. SGI was among the first technology vendors to embrace and proliferate the use of Apache Hadoop in the Federal and enterprise sectors, and is currently running the largest Hadoop clusters servers in the world. Cloudera has pioneered the use of Apache Hadoop in business applications and was first to make Hadoop enterprise-ready, delivering best of breed management software, support and training services. CDH is the most widely deployed Hadoop distribution in both commercial and non-commercial environments, bundling 100 percent pure open source Apache Hadoop with other leading open source components in the Hadoop stack. “We understand the power of Hadoop. Since the technology’s inception, we have successfully deployed tens of thousands of Hadoop servers to our customers,” said Bill Mannel, vice president of product marketing at SGI. “Leveraging Cloudera’s Distribution including Apache Hadoop together with our SGI Hadoop Cluster, we achieved a world record Hadoop benchmark for data processing and analysis—81 percent faster than the competition. CDH, combined
with Cloudera’s management suite, puts the promise and potential of Hadoop—and the complete Hadoop stack—within reach.”

➥ Continued from page 1 relatively advanced. We’ve developed a lot of best practices of necessity over the last decade. We’ve done a lot of good work on integration, and there’s still a lot of work to be done,” he said. Mornston offered four key points to consider about integration: “It’s incumbent on each department and agency to be part of that integration. In defense intelligence, our leadership has embraced that. They have designated a focal point within DIA to be a counterpart to each of the 17 National Intelligence Managers.” “When we think about intel/ops fusion as a key part of integration, the most telling measure is the role that commanders play. They are fully engaged in all aspects of the fight, and they drive their intelligence officers to answer questions that meet their needs.” “The appropriate connection between investigative information and directors of intelligence is something that we really need to pay attention to—between investigators and analysts. Analysts and investigators look at the same things through two very different lenses

and perspectives. We’re not as integrated as we should be.” “There is an organizational component to achieving integration. Line and block charts matter. Integration is rooted in organizational practices and behavior.” Major General Mary A. Legere, commanding general, Army Intelligence and Security Command; nominated to be Army G-2. “As the commander of an organization that has many of the Army’s intelligence forces, I think about how we deliver that capability not just to commanders, but also to those preparing to go on patrol. INSCOM’s job is to ensure that we can leverage the power of the community and make sure we make it simple and provide it to the young men and women on point in a digestible form with relevant information. “We spent the first half of the wars just trying to get the data that was in the disparate networks, only to overwhelm the analysts. Are we as a community taking advantage of everything that industry has learned about processing power and using the cloud to assist us?
“For the services, how do we keep the people who are back at home stations or sanctuaries involved in the fight? How do we make sure that the networks that we have forward are exactly the networks that are on the desks of the analysts?” Legere asked. James G. Clark, director, ISR innovations, deputy chief of staff for ISR, Headquarters Air Force. “We take multiple pieces of software in the real world and make them talk together. In terms of integration, what we’ve tried to do is not reinvent the wheel. Our focus is on making sure that our brave young people in the field have the best. “What we’re trying to do in integration, not of intelligence but information, is to get a common operating picture, take multiple pieces of software, and make them talk to one another. I respect the brilliance of the intelligence community, but we need to translate the perfect intelligence solutions into simple, easily accessible things, and take all that’s done with intelligence, analysis and sensors, and put it in the hands of the first responders and combat forces,” Clark said.
Focus on GEOINT Riverside Research emphasizes people and technology. The GEOINT 2011 Symposium is a perfect venue to view the physical results of Riverside Research’s (Booth 260) complete rebranding over the past year. It will take a visit to the booth to hear about and understand the refocusing and reorganization of the company to better support their customers and focus energies in support of GEOINT. “Of the 500 people at Riverside, almost 50 percent of are directly working on GEOINT issues, whether that’s engineers, analysts, operators, or instructors,” said Richard Annas, Riverside’s president. “One the key areas that the speakers talked about on the opening day was the focus on the workforce,” Annas continued. “Part of the problem is that workforce development tends to lag the sensors—we don’t bring the right workforce on early enough, we don’t give them the tools, we don’t train them, and we have a hard time retaining them when the government’s trying to downsize. So we have focused for many years on the education and training support for advanced GEOINT sensors. We do a lot of this in coordination with universities and consumer agencies. For example we have certified instructors supporting the Air Force Institute of Technology in developing senior analysts and managers who understand advanced geospatial intelligence. The other thing we’re working on that’s very important for GEOINT is in the mission planning area. A lot of sensors and systems that we put out are very complex, but surprisingly the collection management and feasibility
10
analysis tools that we use in going after targets is often very rudimentary. The operators, for the most part, don’t have the tools available. One of the feasibility tools we have developed is the Enterprise Collection Resource Tool (eCRT). GEOINT attenees can visit our website to see a demo of eCRT using the Multi-spectral Thermal Imager or GeoEye-1. “Built on the Analytical Graphics satellite toolkit, we’re putting the mission planning component on top to help do all of the decision-making behind the scenes so that the users can just say, ‘these are the targets I’m interested in,’ and they don’t have to worry about how the satellite or aircraft actually operates and its constraints,” explained Jim Bower, vice president for strategic planning and business development. “They can just concentrate on their targets and their needs, and our software coupled with STK does the rest.”

GEOINT Helps FEMA but More Needed Aligning guidance, goals and capabilities. In a keynote address, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator William Craig Fugate outlined how the agency plans for and deals with catastrophic disasters. Whether a calamity is the result of a devastating earthquake, the detonation of a weapon of mass destruction, or something else, FEMA’s goal is the same. “Go big, go fast—and be smart about it,” Fugate said. He noted that this aligns with a recently updated presidential directive about national preparedness that calls for the creation of a secure and resilient nation. Achieving that outcome requires the use of geospatial information and tools. Some of what’s needed already exists as a result of NGA analysts being put in the field to witness what FEMA personnel actually do in a crisis. Other tools and geospatial products still have to be created. FEMA, noted Fugate, coordinates the federal government’s preparation before a disaster and its response afterwards. In planning, the agency follows a maximum of maximum approach. Using these criteria, this year’s Japanese earthquake and tsunami fall within the parameters of an expected event. Geospatial information plays an important role in setting the scope of events that must be considered possible and in the staging of resources. As for a response, most of that in the U.S. will come from local governments, the commercial sector and the public at large. The last presents the possibility of crowd sourcing as a way to illuminate the extent and nature of a problem. For example, information from the public about the earthquake that struck the East Coast in 2011 arrived as fast as or faster than that from government agencies. The power of the many data points provided by smartphones can be harnessed to improve this information source. Something
as simple as locating where phone communication gaps exist can map out the extent of a problem. More complex variations on this approach could allow the response to a disaster to be adjusted on the fly. Timely tweaks to a response are critical, as treating the injured within the first 72 hours significantly improves their chance of survival. What’s more, the advent of smartWilliam Craig Fugate phones means that both the public and first responders have tools to access critical information. That data, however, can’t be in some challenging format, such as a PDF that is difficult to read on a small screen. It also can’t require the use of an app that is unfamiliar, Fugate said. “It’s what you do every day that you go to when a crisis hits,” he pointed out. He acknowledged that the agency has to do a better job of providing people with the right geospatial tools and the appropriate information. Accomplishing that will, in part, require freeing data. Another key will be figuring out ways to assure needed security without compromising performance. Standards could make both tasks easier. For both preparation and response, it’s important to keep in mind that during a disaster, lines of protocol dissolve. Fugate briefly summarized how the various branches of local, state and federal governments are supposed to interact during a disaster, with defined responsibilities and lines of command. But, this picture isn’t reality, he said. “It doesn’t work that way in real life. You work as a team.”
DI2E Defense intelligence information enterprise panel showcased key solutions for enterprise-level information sharing. The Defense Department is launching the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) framework, which will integrate all disconnected information, teams, systems and technologies—creating an all-encompassing system for enhanced sharing of information and resources. The Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise panel, moderated by Kevin Meiners, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (Portfolios, Programs & Resources),
Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, showcased representatives from the OSD, military services, combat support agencies and the intelligence community, addressed how the DI2E can be leveraged to build the objective capability. The DI2E will be a single information warfighting enterprise—for both the Department of Defense and the intelligence community—that will solidify the exploitation, analysis, production and dissemination of intelligence to high-level
decision-makers down to the troops on the ground. The new architecture will be comprised of cloud-based capabilities, which will aim to reduce the costs of infrastructure and licensing. In the face of proposed budget cuts, panelists discussed how the DI2E will continue to be a priority in the face of proposed budget changes. The DI2E acquisition process is currently underway and will rely heavily on industry partners for bringing the architecture to life.

GEOINT to the Tactical Edge Harris highlights communications, video solutions for bringing geospatial data to the warfighter. At Harris (Booth 137), the theme is what the company is doing to bring GEOINT to the tactical edge. It is highlighting two solution sets, in the fields of communications and video, designed to show how it can take analytical geospatial data all the way to the edge and add value along the way. “The first product is the KnightHawk 3G tactical cellular base station, which is really the epitome of bringing intelligence data to the soldier right at the point of the fight,” explained Ed Zoiss, vice president of advanced programs and technology. “The base station is a compact size that will fit inside of a HUMVEE or other tactical vehicle. It can network up to 64 soldiers carrying smartphones. The Droids and iPhones, which soldiers know and love, can be carried into the fight with the KnightHawk. The Army has accepted it, and it’s currently being deployed,” Zoiss said. The other comms product being displayed is Command Access, which is a small, lightweight SATCOM terminal that soldiers could use to receive intelligence data wherever they are on the battlefield. It is battery operated and works in C-, X- and Ku-bands. “One of the key things we’ve seen is that customers want to buy a service. So Harris acquired a company called CapRock, so that now we are the single largest purchasers and provider of bandwidth on the globe,” he noted. Harris is also showcasing their geospatial intelligence products, in particular the Full Motion Video Asset Management Engine (FAME), which is a video integration platform. “The thing that differentiates this solution, which the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has embraced, from others is that it’s open architecture,” Zoiss said. “We don’t think we’re the only company that has innovations. Companies with analytic technology can easily integrate into this platform, so that NGA or other customers aren’t locked into a proprietary solution. “It’s already enabled for the cloud. We’ve spent our own investment to cloud enable that solution, so that it can move quickly into the cloud and search cloud archives, and reside in a much more cost effective environment,” he added.

10:00 A.M.
9:00 A.M.
Interoperability – Online and on Demand
Improving Operational Efficiencies With Cross Domain Solutions
The deployment of cloud computing architectures in an Infrastructure Services Provider (ISP)/Application Services Provider (ASP) environment offers many advantages and challenges to the government, industry and academia. These interoperability issues have not been fully explored or understood. This presentation will examine emerging interoperability issues related to implementing online and on demand geospatial services. Apps that are separately developed by government, industry and academia must all be trusted and work seamlessly together. This presentation will identify new challenges and assess potential approaches to successfully implement online, on demand geospatial services.
Analysts and warfighters require secure access to GEOINT data across multiple networks and the ability to efficiently move that data. With mandated information sharing comes the need to easily access and traverse multiple security domains. Nowhere else is this need more evident than in the intelligence arena – sources are numerous and allactionable intelligence is time-sensitive. With the need to access upwards of 12 networks, cross domain solutions allow customers to de-clutter workspaces, save power, cooling and hardware costs, while improving productivity, system manageability and streamlining administration. Whether your needs are secure rapid transfer of geospatial imagery to different sensitivity levels, secure browsing across networks, or simultaneous access to multiple networks from a single desktop – RTCS has an operational/accredited cross domain solution to meet your needs. • Jeremy Wilson, Senior Solutions Architect, Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions 9:15 A.M. Full Motion Video Analysis: Converging Tradecraft And Technology This presentation will focus on a key area affecting the efficacy of full motion video analysis—The ability for analysts and operators to effectively store and retrieve products derived from FMV sources. The presentation will present a summary of findings in this regard through summaries of conversations/surveys with FMV analysts and provide recommendations and a strategy for developing standards and methods for storing analytical products derived from FMV sources. • James P. Dolan, Senior Vice President, ISR Systems, Textron Systems Corp.
• Kevin Brown, Technical Director, GEOINT Programs, Intelligence and Information Systems, Raytheon 10:15 A.M. Leveraging Gaps; A Net-Centric UDOP System To Provide An Interoperable PED Environment The Global Awareness Presentation Services (GAPS) provides a standards-based framework that supports net-centric collaboration by aggregating multiple data types into a time-fused visualization capability through web-enabled services. GAPS is interoperable with ongoing DoD and IC-wide infrastructure efforts such as the Commercial Joint Mapping Tool Kit (CJMTK), NGA’s Geospatial Visualization Services (GVS) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The GAPS is viewer-agnostic, supporting a number of visualization technologies including: Google Earth, Analytical Graphics Inc. Satellite Tool Kit (AGI STK), CJMTK/ArcGIS and OGC. GAPS web services are registered in Net Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) and the Meta-Data Registry (MDR). • Whitney Bobbitt, Program Manager, Global Awareness Presentation Services, Ultra ProLogic
9:30 A.M. Discovering Geoint Services Utilizing the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise Framework (Di2e-F) Storefront The Enterprise Registry and Repository (ER2) program developed a new concept Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise Framework (DI2E-F) widget storefront and warehouse. This is a first-of-its kind storefront that will ultimately allow both IC and DoD elements the ability to download and use widgets and other portable and lightweight applications developed by GEOINT users and developers. The demonstration of the tool shows how ER2 as the widget warehouse, will support multiple storefronts across various IC elements and DoD combatant commands on multiple networks. • Edward J. Lane, Director, Information Sharing Group, Office of Mission Framework & Services, Ground Enterprise Directorate, National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) 9:45 A.M. Geosynchronization and Geospatial Enterprise Collaboration Enterprises focused on GEOINT face emerging challenges including the need to collect, manage and share geospatial intelligence horizontally, vertically and peer-to-peer from Tactical to National levels (and back) in near real-time. In addition, there are growing requirements to eliminate stovepipes and realize enterprise architectures based on open standards for interoperability. This session focuses on the role of GeoSynchronization Services and Applications in this emerging environment. GeoSynchronization provides geospatial enterprises with the capability to receive real-time GEOINT updates from many sources, validate them as needed and then share them with the people and systems that need them. Emerging GeoSynchronization standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium Inc. (OGC) and key enterprise roles will be discussed in this dynamic, fast-paced presentation. The session also highlights new Android smartphone apps for GeoSynchronization under development in partnership with DOD organizations, providing community insight into the rapidly changing world of mobile, interoperable geo-apps. • Jeff Harrison, President & CEO, The Carbon Project
