NGB REQUIREMENTS
Provide an operational capability and common set of enterprise services that has the maturity,
flexibility and security assurances to meet the following requirements supporting IAA
Missions:
• From a multitude of Joint and Interagency producing assets Process, Analyze and
Disseminate (PAD) EO/IR FMV. FMV will be accessible by FSL & T leadership. FMV will have a
full “TIVO Like” capability for PAD functionality.
• Process and disseminate still imagery from producing assets (Space/Air/Ground/Maritime).
• All FMV and still imagery will be associated with organic Geospatial Information Systems
(GIS) and be accessible to the most disadvantaged users through web and portal services.
• Enable communications between FSL & T facilities and producing assets through Enterprise
System Services. This includes collaboration capabilities such as white boarding, graphics
dissemination, data distribution, chat and Common Operational Picture (COP)
sharing/development/display through rugged and portable means.
• Provide a “Blue Force Tracking” like capability for air/ground/marine/space assets and share
that data between FSL & T systems and organizations.
AND
Be Affordable and Non-Proprietary

GIIEP System’s Summarized Purpose
Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) is one of the most important
responsibilities of the US military. A key enabler is the Incident Awareness &
Assessment (IAA) mission which leverages traditional Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in support of domestic
operations while assuring strict adherence to all applicable legal frameworks.
The GIIEP system will enhance the ability of each state/territory JFHQ systems
to rapidly respond to disaster situations and perform the IAA mission with a
robust organic capability. This capability will provide FMV, still imagery, a COP
and robust situational awareness to military and civilian first responders. The
inherent flexibility of the system will enable operators to tailor their efforts to
take maximum advantage of available assets and available communications as
they support disaster response operations.

Defense initiatives, specifically:
-- Cost Effective (Government owned/Non-proprietary)
-- Advanced Warfare Environment (AWarE) with well established,
appropriate Department of Defense Information Assurance
Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) and Certificates of
Networthiness (CoN’s) on-going (now in-place)
-- AWarE Video Elements (AVE)
-- Virtual Alabama “Like Technology”
-- C2GF JCTD Deputy Technical Manager Role

SUMMARY & PROPOSED WAY AHEAD
• The USASMDC in coordination with NGB, USAF A2Q, AFNORTH and
many other FSL & T organizations have planned and executed fielding
and training of GIIEP within all 54 States or Territories JFHQ as of
September 20, 2010.
• The GIIEP is available on .Mil/.Gov/.Com domains releasable to
authorized users using in-place policies and security assurances.
• The GIIEP is designed to meet the challenges that face today’s first
responders, warfighters and the entire IAA community. It is
government owned and Non-Proprietary.
The GIIEP TEAM is fully supporting the IAA community….NOW!!!!!!!
