Closing Gaps - JWIG CONOPS
“This CONOPS demonstrates forward thinking for a vision of joint warfighter support in the increasingly demanding geospatial intelligence environment.”
– Maj Gen Goldfein, USAF, Vice Director, Joint Staff (6 Feb 2007)
JWIG CONOPSDefine JTF Joint Warfighter Interoperable GEOINT (JWIG) process
• Provide a common framework for managing GEOINT within the JTF (HQ and mission partners)
Leverage NSG to support warfighter• Enable joint warfighter to use the power of the NSG to support the mission• Enable joint warfighter to provide value-added GEOINT (vetted) back to the
NSGTested and validate in exercise environment

GEOINT Cell
Establish and maintain relationships across the JTF and its mission partners Collaboration across all functional areas within the JTF, all JTF components, higher headquarters, and the rest of the NSG
Traditional GEOINT and Intel partners Geospatially enabled functional areas such as logistics, operations, plans, weather, etc.
Cell may be centrally located or distributed throughout the JTF and connected by networks

JGA ImplementationContinue working current enhancement efforts with NGA organizations, COCOMs, and Services
Standards, training, unified operations, federated production, etc.
Expand engagement with Agencies and International Partners
Develop a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) that will:Maintain an end-to-end perspective
Primarily focus on identifying improvements at the national level that will enhance JTF level capabilities
• Emphasize actions that offer near-term benefit • Bring together existing expertise and data (best practices)
Build on Joint Pub 2-03, JWIG CONOPS, and JGIT DCREnable the main functions of the GEOINT CellFacilitate the establishment of Joint capabilities and processes
Embrace and complement related actions described in previous SIPsBegin actions to achieve near-term benefits
• Pursue the expanded use of Theater Geospatial Database and Geospatial Product Library in Joint environment

Define GEOINT Mission Requirements
Collect and prioritize GEOINT mission requirements from across the JTFDefine mission partners across the NSGDefine product requirementsDefine data layers for template
Baseline layers form starting point for analysis, visualization, and sharing Scenario-dependent layers typically change frequently or are somewhat specialized

Define GEOINT Mission Requirements
Identify, review, and coordinate geographic area coverage requirements

DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Discover & Obtain GEOINT
Utilize web-based services to:Conduct metadata searches across all security domainsDiscover existing data sources and planned source acquisitionObtain available GEOINT data and identify coverage gapsAccess GEOINT directories, catalogs, web mapping services, and librariesLeverage NSG member and partner organization GEOINT capabilities
Manage current hardcopy storage and logistics ability to deliver hard copy GEOINT products
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
GEOINT is evaluated in order to determine whether it is available at or near the required resolution and is in the form required
If the required GEOINT does not exist or does not fully meet the stated requirements, GEOINT may need to be generatedIf the GEOINT is insufficient, the relevant data may need to augment with value addedconflatetransform
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Conflate GEOINTCoordinate the conflation of data by identifying, resolving, and merging different spatial renditions of what is actually the same entityConflation decisions will balance data currency, accuracy, source, and density to determine the GEOINT that will best satisfy specific needs of the mission
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Manage production of GEOINTRequest combatant command support to engage other NSG members and partner organizations to collaborate through unified operations channels and proceduresCoordinate data requests across the JTF to be submitted in compliance with NSG procedures and ensure these requirements are documented in the appropriate systemCoordinate the collection of geospatial intelligence data utilizing best available assets and exploit this data to extract the required geospatial information
• coordinate the collection and exploitation of organic assets
• coordinate with the combatant command to submit a collection and/or production requirement for prioritization and submission to available NSG assets
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Augment available GEOINTBased on the specific needs of the mission being supported, the GEOINT obtained may need to be augmented with value-added information provided at the operational level coordinate the generation of this value-added data utilizing in-theater and/or reach back capabilities Value-adding occurs based on available resources and adheres to established data standards and specifications
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Evaluate GEOINT Content & Form
Put GEOINT into usable formFilter mission-relevant GEOINTPut GEOINT in proper format to include electronic file, electronic media, and printed hard copyOptimize GEOINT for performance without altering relationships or attributesCoordinate the production of correlated databases
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Use & Share GEOINT
Use GEOINT to more effectively complete assigned missions
View and modify features, attributes, and metadata across mission function and classification boundaries Integrate GEOINT into the shared awareness of the operational environment in two, three, and four dimensions (including time) in all security domains.
Perform basic analyses such as line of sight and route planning, and complex services such as areas of cover and concealment and avenues of approach
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Use & Share GEOINT
GEOINT at the JTF stored in available theater holdingsLocal value-added data is integrated into the local database and forwarded by theater data stewards for integration into NSG data holdings Share GEOINT with mission partners and other NSG
Employ web services in order to achieve and maintain shared awareness of the operational environment with mission partners Employ collaboration tools in order share data between JTF elements
Web-host value-added GEOINT to be accessed by others
within the NSG
DRAFTUNCLAS//FOUO
Maintain GEOINTCoordinate across all JTF elements, the combatant command, and NGA deployed analysis and production personnel to ensure the availability of theater storage capability
Utilize metadata standards and standard procedures to integrate updates from the field that have been manually validated as an improvement to existing content within the geospatial data store
Receive updates, keep current and validated for accuracy and consistency
Purge databases and archive deleted holdings as necessary
Establish version control and naming conventions
Manage and document holdings
Monitor and track holdings to ensure use of most current and relevant GEOINT in accordance with mission requirements
