J623 is What ?

4

Beginnings of SAGE

• GIS/COP Requirements– Already Established at USNORTHCOM

– Need speed and reliability of information between Operational Nodes

– Move toward a Service Oriented Architecture

– Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Compliant GIS standards, not systems

5

SAGE Background

• SAGE Architecture– Track data from NORTHCOM Global

Command and Control System

– WFS, Web Feature Service for tracks and GIS layers

– WMS, Web Mapping Services for tracks and GIS layers

– Tracks are published by domain, and by Area of Operations

6

• What do I get out of SAGE?

1. A Web based viewer

2. A 3D Desktop viewer

3. Backbone web services

SAGE Bottomline

Ability to log events, uses N-NC mission data

N-NC specific tasks,

SAGE Data

• What data will SAGE provide?– Around 5,000 US Coast Guard Automated

Identification System (AIS) vessel tracks.

– About 500 UNCLASS Blue Force Tracking (BFT) ground tracks.

– Event specific Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC) tracks from DHS.

– GIS layer feeds covering Critical Infrastructure and specific NORTHCOM missions.

Sponsorship/Operational Requirements

– A GIS backoffice with tracks from GCCS

– Provide products to support real world events, exercises, and other internal requirements to lookers.

• Web Based Clients for lookers (Based on Palanterra SP6 until 9.2 ADF is mature)

• Tracks consumable via web service (WFS & ArcGIS Server)

• Ability to publish tracks for specific domains

–– Situational Awareness Situational Awareness Geospatial Enterprise (SAGE)Geospatial Enterprise (SAGE)

– Large physical infrastructure to support multiple lookers (Our Internet Service Provider for GIS)

• Supporting mission partners who want to look at real world events, exercises, and other external requirements

• NORAD-USNORTHCOM has direct management of users

• Security and reliability are current concerns

– Must sit on Internet– Includes track data–– TRITONTRITON

SAGE FY 07 Goals

Continue to improve our Situational Awareness / Common Operational Picture by establishing:

– Geospatial Information System (GIS) Data as a Commodity - Make GIS a commodity within the command by instituting an enterprise GIS capability that everyone can use.

– An Internet Accessible, Web-based COP - We need an Internet-accessible, Web-based COP capable of meeting our expanded needs of sharing situational awareness with our DoD and non-DoD partners.
