OGC® Collaboration: Command and Control

• Real time access, integration, and fusion of static and real time assets in support of the Warfighter. From Empire Challenge 2008. Operations in a Coalition Environment

• Integration of static and real time information assets combined with a variety of rule based fusion workflows

• Multi-INT, Joint/Coalition DCGS interoperability demonstration series – EC08 is the 5th event in the series – Co-Leads: NGA, JS/J2S, JFCOM J28, JITC – Stakeholders: DCGS PMs, AUS/CAN/UK/ACT – Part of the USD(I) DCGS “demonstration portfolio” – Standards Compliance is a major component

• OGC Pilot for EC’08 – Major demonstration in China Lake in August – Sponsors: NGA and LMCo

• Define an information model that enables sharing of water data on a global basis and then encode as an XML/GML application schema.

• Advance WaterML 2.0 and test use with various OGC service standards (SOS, WFS, WMS and CSW).

• Contribute to the development of a hydrology domain feature model and vocabularies: essential for interoperability.

• GML and O&M compliant WaterML 2.0 and OGC web services for data exchange enables easier access and interpretation of water data.

• OGC Sensor Observation Service used to republish and expose near real time hydrologic and other sensor data from multiple agencies on a Google pane

• Sites color coded by responsible agency

• Provides an open forum for work on meteorological and oceanographic data interoperability and a process to publish and revise OGC Best Practices and Standards thence giving a route for submission to WMO for adoption.

• Present solutions, requirements, and discuss issues. Feeds into the OGC Met/Oceans and Aviation Domain Working Groups. Issues such as time, time series, performance, etc.

• Develop and test standards-based service-oriented architecture to support the provision of valuable aeronautical and weather information directly to flight decks and Electronic Flight Bags (EFB)

We need aeronautical information integrity “Right Information, Right Place, Right Time”

GeoEye began providing OGC services (via WMS & KML) in April 2010 (RDOG program under NextView). GeoEye’s EnhancedView Web Hosting Services now provides multiple OGC service endpoints for NGA users and customers to consume commercial satellite imagery data Web Mapping Service – imagery viewing Web Coverage Service – downloading Web Feature Service – “query”/metadata only access KML – consumption via Google Earth client Web Map Tile Service – fast viewing with pre-built tile cache Service end-points provided both at the macro-subscription layer level (large country AOIs) as well as the individual micro-site (small AOIs) level. GeoEye’s WHS Portal leverages same OGC services. OGC Standard Web Services implemented in DigitalGlobe Cloud Services

• Web Feature Service (WFS) – Query against metadata – Real-time coverage display • Web Map Service (WMS) – Interoperable with most GIS – Images generated upon request • Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) – Image tiles delivered rapidly – Renders rapidly for panning and zooming • Web Coverage Service (WCS) – Easily download GeoTIFFs and other formats – Perform multispectral analysis and visualization • EarthService™ – KML file format to display geographic data in Google Earth

Example: How to Combine OGC Services And STANAG-compliant Intelligence Data On A Situation Display

Thanks to Fraunhofer for use of these slides

27 Motivation

Requirements  Common overview for all  Detailed views, including subject-specific, for each team member Problems  Situation-aware working in a team requires information on different levels  Nowadays solutions strain the people due to a wide spread information representation Approach  Standardized geodata interfaces due to a wide spread amount of sources  OGC, military and proprietary information in a single view

28 Fovea-Tablett® for Detailed View

Free positioning on the table display Magnifyer without the loss of context and scale Personalized and role based views Useable as single workstation and digital clipboard Many Fovea-Tabletts simultaneously usable

29 Features

 Preseted scene selection  Adaptation of the scene: zoom, move, rotate,…  Wall projection of the views  Additional data (object data, images, text,…)  Query and assignment of live sensors (video sensors, water level metering, ...)  Query external data sources (GIS server, CSD, control room system, WMS, WFS)  3D terrain and building models  Editor (icons, footprints, polylines,...)
