Closer Look at the Human Terrain Pre-Symposium sessions focus on the increasingly important field of socio-cultural dynamics. Whether you call it human geography, socio-cultural dynamics or human terrain, the spatial-temporal study of human populations has become a major topic for GEOINT and all forms of intelligence analysis. In response to that growing interest, sociocultural issues were a key theme for the PreSymposium Science & Technology Forum held on Sunday before the formal start of the GEOINT 2011 Symposium. A morning session, entitled “Socio-Cultural Dynamics: An Overview from a Diplomacy, Development, Defense and Intelligence Perspective,” was followed later in the day by socio-cultural workshops on lessons learned and enabling technologies.
The five presenters at the morning session began with CW5 Michael Harper, military deputy, Army Geospatial Center, who offered an insightful overview of the history of military uses of socio-cultural analysis. The fact of the panel and the military presence is itself significant, Harper noted. “Ten years ago, you couldn’t have had a panel like this with people from DoD. It’s an indicator of how socio-cultural is progressing in the military.” Harper acknowledged that the Army has been slow at understanding the importance of socio-cultural information. While there were examples of successful uses, such as the Continued On pAGE 8

Global Eyes on the Environment Global Fiducials Program brings together civil agencies, academia and the intel community. One of the new exhibitors at GEOINT 2011 Symposium will be the Global Fiducials Program, which collects satellite images of key environmental sites for long-term study. The Global Fiducials Program is a collaborative effort between federal civil agencies, academia and the intelligence community. The principal goal of the program is to build and maintain a longterm record of data to support scientists and policy makers involved in that collaborative effort. At the inception of the program, it was hoped that at some point the acquired data could be openly released to support future scientists and policy makers as well. Since the 1990s, the program has been periodically collecting images of environmentally significant sites around the world, and currently

has some 250 locations. In a recent interview with gotgeoint.com, Bruce F. Molnia, executive director of the Civil Applications Committee for the U.S. Geological Survey, noted that in the past two years, imagery for some 80 locations has been degraded and released to the public. As a result, Molina continued, the program has been stepping up efforts to publicize the program, including having a booth at the Symposium. “We want to educate people about the existence of the program, which few others in the community are aware of. So we figured GEOINT would be a great opportunity to open people’s eyes to the benefit of this kind of series,” he said.

Video Exploitation Nevion showcases video maximization systems. Nevion (Booth 1045), a provider of managed video services for broadcasters, service providers and government entities worldwide, will use GEOINT 2011 to demonstrate comprehensive ISR solutions for government and military organizations. The company is also showcasing its new VideoIPath solution for video exploitation of full motion video and large volume streaming data (LVSD). Nevion’s range and facility modernization, surveillance and mission video systems provide real-time transport of video, data and telemetry over any network infrastructure—fiber overlay, SONET/SDH or IP—with VideoIPath for managing and provisioning video services. VideoIPath for IP networks provides IP video transport with comprehensive, end-toend control, monitoring and management. It features comprehensive managed video services for complete provisioning, connection management, bandwidth optimization,
analytics and network inventory. It greatly reduces the cost structure by bringing video services into the IP environment, where scalability is dramatically increasing and port costs are decreasing. The system now includes the VS902, a powerful universal IP video transport platform that accepts any SDI or ASI input and provides both uncompressed encapsulation to IP and a choice of JPEG 2000 or H.264 compression. It offers transport protected by Streaming Intelligent Packet Switching (SIPS), a technology developed by Nevion as a more advanced transport protection method that provides perfect protection switching in addition to packet loss protection. The system simplifies the complexity of video-over-IP services by adding a network abstraction layer, allowing users to provision and monitor services without having to consider detailed configuration settings in each
network element. By auto-detecting available video resources, It also can present appropriate video end-points and service profiles to users, enabling them to schedule and initiate connections in an intuitive option-selection process. VideoIPath manages bandwidth by allocating the necessary resources without overbooking. VideoIPath is also available for optical networks, providing a completely managed video services system for fiber-based networks.

➥ Continued from page 1 occupation of Japan after World II, that was not the cases in Vietnam, or in the current conflicts until they were well under way. To be sure, he said, those shortfalls were partly due to the fact that such analysis in not part of the Army’s core mission, which is to conduct kinetic operations. At the same time however, “In Afghanistan and Iraq, had we considered socio-cultural in more detail up front, maybe we would have executed those operations differently. If we had had a more robust socio-cultural staff at a strategic level, we might have avoided mistakes,” he said. As soon as you transition from being focused on the kinetic part of the Lt. Col. Lauren Kulinski Army’s mission to non-kinetic operations and focus on security and nation building, socio-cultural becomes hugely important at every level, Harper argued. Looking back on his career, Harper recalled that in his first 20 years of service, he had never conducted battlefield preparation using socio-cultural factors. But in 2004, he began getting calls from units in Iraq, whose commanders were asking to track socio-cultural factors that the Army hadn’t before. The codes used to track information in the current fight simply didn’t reflect many vital cultural issues, such as differences within the religion of Islam. “You couldn’t input information such as this was a mosque with a certain orientation. So we had to build a data model to support what commanders were interested in tracking, and what they wanted to see in their common operating picture,” he said. Since then, however, the Army and the Army Geospatial Center have made substantial progress. “If you look at our portfolio of programs today, we’re all over socio-cultural, from developing handheld apps to enable psyops and civil affairs soldiers to rapidly collect information, and quickly get that information back into a mission command environment so it can be shared,” Harper said. In his remarks, Dan Plafcan, policy analyst and portfolio manager for socio-cultural analysis, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, identified three areas of challenge and opportunity that GEOINT tradecraft is bringing to socio-cultural analysis. First, he said, the expansiveness of GEOINT and the human geography part of it is so huge that there needs to be disciplinary forces to funnel these efforts in a way to provide the most bang for the buck. Second, people in the field need to think carefully about the downstream implications about a lot of the upstream work that’s being done now in GEOINT and human geography, and how that matches up with requirements and the context of use for the data. Finally, more clarity in terms is needed. “We need a more question-focused and conceptually informed look at the kind of products that we need,” Plafcan continued. “Rather than human geography being mistakenly viewed as an added value, it needs to be brought into the center by showing its clear value for military operations across a broad spectrum.

“It’s not a topic or an empirical domain, but a form of analysis, which includes concepts as well as technologies. The focus is on populations or groups of people. If we can get sophisticated about technical specifications and other factors, we should be able to have that same sophistication about the social world. We don’t have that yet as a community,” he said. “Our vision is the seamless integration of socio-cultural analysis into all-source—not a boutique or a specialty. The objective is to inform the full spectrum of military operations,” Plafcan added. Lieutenant Colonel Lauren Kulinski, currently on assignment with the Department of State Humanitarian Information Unit, discussed how socio-cultural analysis and human geography can be integrated into diplomatic operations. David Ellis, chief, Socio-Cultural Awareness Section, Irregular Threats Analysis Branch, Joint Intelligence Center Special Operations Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, focused on what he called the “ideational components of cultural geospatial analysis.” By that, Ellis referred to a range of ideas and beliefs of a population, which may be much harder to represent than other types of information. For examples, he pointed to such questions as the location of supporters of secular Arab nationalism in Libya, the susceptibility to calls for violence of different Hutu populations residing in Tanzania, the extent of “tariqas,” or cross-tribal, values-based lodges in Somalia, and the degree to “political space” available to non-Islamist political parties in Egypt. “There is an ideational aspect of culture that we don’t typically see in human terrain analysis,” Ellis said. “We may know where a mosque is, but what does that mosque mean in that context? If we look at the way the population views itself, and then figure out the meaning of the physical layer, then we can have a much clearer understanding of the population’s view of that space, not just what we see as the surface indicators.” Ellis concluded with a call to analysts: “As you work on your products, you should ask yourself if you are helping your customer to understand the world that the population sees?” Wrapping up the session, Elizabeth Lyon, geographer, Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, pointed to the good news that there are a lot of similarities between the way the worlds of defense, intelligence, diplomacy and development view socio-cultural geography. But, she said, “We’re not at the point where we can point to one place and say a word, such as school, means the same thing, or we recognize the different components of that term. The Corps of Engineers thinks of a school as a structure, while the defense community might be interested in the alternative uses of a school as a building. The diplomatic community would be interested in how that school educates the population. We have similar language, but we’re not yet in the same room in recognizing how we interact with each other. “Mapping is really about the future. Where are we going, and how can we display that information?” asked Lyon, who recently was named as an adviser to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s board of directors.

Understanding the Human Terrain Aptima develops automated intel processing options. With intel-gathering platforms generating exponentially increasing volumes of data, how will the limited number of human analysts review, make sense of, and find critical signals in this wave of information without being overwhelmed? “We have a lot of background in the social, cognitive and social sciences,” said Shawn A. Weil, Ph.D, Aptima’s director, analytics, modeling and simulation and senior cognitive scientist. “I’ve noticed more and more intersection between those sciences and the geospatial intelligence world. That intersection between human behavior and interactions and the intelligence tools that geospatial analysts and professionals use—satellites, UAVs, LiDAR, WAMI—all of those tools are only interpretable when you understand the human terrain.” Aptima (Booth 932) is using GEOINT 2011 to demonstrate technologies that automate the collection, processing and exploitation of intelligence data. One demo at the booth shows the modeling and simulation of human social-cultural networks, enabling analysts to forecast and answer ‘what-if’ scenarios about U.S. actions. The other is showcasing pattern recognition technology used for identifying suspicious behaviors and threats in torrents of wide area motion imagery. “The enormous resources committed to intelligence collection has created a ballooning of data at one end, and a bottleneck in processing and exploitation at the other,” said Weil, division director analytics, modeling and simulation at Aptima. “The theme of Integrated Intelligence at GEOINT emphasizes the need for new workflows and algorithms that can model, examine, and decipher human behaviors from big data, freeing up analysts to do what they do best.” Throughout the world’s hotspots, analysts must quickly assess the sentiments of populations and forecast the potential impact of U.S. actions. In a revolution-prone region, for example, what do people think about their current leaders and the opposition? What might be the effects of deploying troops, freezing assets, or sending military aid? Aptima has developed technologies for both collecting data in the field through mobile applications, and mining large volumes of text sources to derive information about the social-cultural make-up of populations. These ‘human terrain’ data are then modeled so that analysts can forecast how various groups, given their ethnic, religious, and political identities, might respond to different interventions and events.
KMI Media Group Editor-in-Chief Jeff McKaughan (left) at Aptima’s booth with Dr. Shawn Weil, director of the Analytics, Modeling and Simulation Division.
Aptima has developed pattern recognition algorithms that can search for and identify suspicious behaviors within huge volumes of video data. These algorithms model potential threat patterns using motion and interaction events of cars, people, and geographic locations extracted from entity tracks. Specific sequences of such events can signify possible reconnaissance, IED emplacement, or ambush preparation activities. Such patterns, learned from historic events and previously discovered activities, or defined by the analysts, are used to categorize and uncover irregular or revealing behaviors from thousands to millions of extraneous events and activities occurring in a landscape of people, vehicles, buildings, and roads. Looking farther out, Weil said, “Relative to the cost of building major platforms, the analysis piece is the critical component to overcoming the glut of information, the overload of data. The benefit of technologies that Aptima brings to the table is that they have been specifically designed to make interpretable this volume of data so the return on investment is pretty striking. The costs are astronomical for new platforms and sensors—and those platforms and sensors are critical—but at the end of the day we are at or past the saturation point for the analysts so to really create the best value we really have to find ways to make the existing—and new data sources—actionable for the warfighter.”
Reducing the Number of Monitors GeoDigital International offers video server solutions for multiple cameras. GeoDigital International Corp (Booth 1217), a remote LiDAR and imaging provider in North America is releasing the first video server solution ever that enables an unlimited number of cameras from anywhere in the world to be displayed in a virtual world on a single screen.

Hooking Up Social Media and ISR SAS and AGI use GEOINT to unveil novel integration solution. Integrating social media analysis into the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance collection process is vital to the GEOINT community. Changes in sentiment and spikes in certain conversation topics can provide earlier awareness of threats. Analytical Graphics Inc.(AGI) (Booth 353), an ISR analysis and visualization software provider, and SAS (Booth 1005), a provider of business analytics software and services, are partnering to meet this need, and will be unveiling a novel integration of their software
solutions at GEOINT 2011. SAS Social Media Analytics consumes social media content such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, and uncovers sentiment in 28 languages by filtering, categorizing and analyzing content. AGI’s off-the-shelf software models, analyzes and visualizes ISR systems. By bringing these offerings together, analysts and operators can better understand the ISR collection picture in real or simulated time. “Integrating social media into the ISR collection effort is critical for forensic,
real-time or forecasted ISR analysis, bringing greater tactical situational awareness,” said Todd Smith, AGI director, C4ISR. “SAS can follow a specific topic or influential individuals through social media, track changes in sentiment over time and then compare this information to tactics or events to determine after-action effects and to better plan for the future,” said Karen Knowles, president, SAS Federal. “We believe the combination of our products with AGI’s will serve an important national intelligence need.”
The Right Multi-INT Will Aid Analysts Fusion in the Information Spectrum—Multi-INT panelists discuss paths forward. Advances in processing power and storage make it possible to relieve the burden on analysts. However, much work needs to be done and the task won’t be easy, judging by a discussion about multi-INT analytics as an alternative to an all-source approach during GEOINT’s pre-symposium science and technology forum. The challenge is greater than simply combining different intelligence products in a timely fashion to yield something that users find worthwhile and easily understandable. It also has to be suitable for what Mark Abrams, chief scientist in the NRO Mission Support Directorate, called the intelligence device of the future. “How do I fit what I need into a smartphone?” he said. Although difficult, this can be done. Abrams gave an example of the Haiti disaster relief effort. What was useful for first responders was information about population changes over time in an area, a bit of information that could be pushed out over cellular networks. As this example shows, the key to helping analysts do their job lies in correctly setting the dividing line between automated systems and humans. Dave Messinger, an associate research professor at the Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology, noted that computers don’t get tired and are good at sorting through large sets of data. Where they stumble is when called upon to do sophisticated analysis. Fortunately, though, there’s another readily available system for this task. “The brain is good at complex analysis,” Messinger said. Ideally, he said, this analysis would be done using a 4D physically realistic model of the world, accurate in both space and time on an appropriate scale. Then an analyst could test a hypothesis against the model and compare it to actual data, thereby weeding out those theories that don’t fit reality and measurements. Messinger believes this capability will soon be available, and it will offer a near real time response. In putting automated systems to use, care must be exercised, said Naval Postgraduate School remote sensing research professor Charlene Sailer. “We need to convey something about the data quality.”

That subject came up several times during the presentations. Sometimes it involved data analysis and other times data integrity. For the latter, one suggestion was the use of the lowest level bit in a tamper resistance scheme. For the issue of the quality of data analysis, a proposed solution involved thresholding. More certain data would be depicted, for example, with higher intensity. But thresholding, it was pointed out, is generally problematic. It may turn out later that measurements that fell below a threshold are actually useful. For instance, a Soviet-era missile detection system was actually being able to spot Scud missiles during the first Gulf War, if attention was paid to what before had been regarded as noise. The solution, everyone agreed, was to never discard any of the raw data. A corollary to that is to measure everything. Curt Davis, director of the University of Missouri’s Center for Geospatial Intelligence, noted that having a wealth of data actually benefits computer-driven analysis. Even inactivity, it was noted, is important. In a battlefield situation, for example, if nothing has changed then there’s no need to change tactics. In a disaster, if the population in an area remains the same, there may be no need to rush in additional supplies and assistance. A final thread in the discussion was that in tackling multi-INT analytics, the GEOINT community could benefit by looking in some unusual places. Barry Tilton, a senior technical advisor in the NRO Mission Support Directorate, noted that movies could provide clues. Looking at what movies depict as magical technology could give clues about what users want before they know they want it. However, looking afield for ideas about new capabilities sometimes turns up less than ideal solutions. During the Q&A session after the presentations, Chris Olsen, a remote sensing professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, related a story about investigating how the TV industry analyzed video feeds. There was some very sophisticated analysis going on, but it was being done by having hundreds of interns sitting through many hours of recorded video. As Olsen said, “We do need something better.”

It’s a Mobile World, After All The Mobile GEOINT Applications panel. The GEOINT community is embracing smartphones, but there are pitfalls to consider. These involve authentication and security, being offline and lifecycle management. The payoff, though, can be substantial, according to a presentation at the pre-symposium science and technology forum at GEOINT 2011. For example, commercial devices cost orders of magnitude less yet offer such performance boosts as five times as much battery life as a traditional military radio. Smartphones can also increase the productivity of users. A soldier in a training exercise, for example, completed a projected eight hour job in half an hour by downloading a Chinese translation app. On the technology front, authentication and security are a challenge. Ideas on how to solve this involve dongles and other attachments, but it’s important to keep something in mind. “If you make it difficult, people won’t use it,” warned Ben Tuttle, project scientist with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Given that many GEOINT users are soldiers in the field or first responders, the degree of difficulty can’t be judged by what is required in an office environment. Instead, it’s important to keep in mind what can be done quickly with one gloved hand. Feedback from the field indicates that warfighters are looking to accomplish tasks in, at most, two or three clicks. For analysis, hitting that magic number may be difficult.
What’s more, the use of these systems in the field opens up the whole question of how to secure them in case they are lost or stolen. This may involve wiping them remotely, which can be a challenge if they are offline. That problem currently has no acceptable, industry wide solution, Tuttle said. Speaking of connectivity, it cannot be taken for granted in the GEOINT world, said U.S. Army Geospatial Center research geographer Andrew Jenkins. “A lot of our users, soldiers, need apps that can run disconnected.” For geospatial information, the use of databases and tiling can cut down on data set size, making it possible to fit information about an entire area into a pocket. But that can involve a tradeoff, as moving a multitude of tiles from one storage location to another can be time consuming. More and better smartphone programming standards would also be useful, Jenkins said. That would help when building apps and it might also ensure that data can be shared seamlessly, even for apps developed completely independently. Somewhat surprisingly, the rapid pace of mobile technology development also presents a GEOINT challenge. The typical procurement and development cycle for government agencies runs in the years while mobile phones, operating systems, and applications typically have lifecycles that run months. Jay Crossler is a principal systems engineer with the Mitre Corp., a non-profit that ad-
vises the government on systems integration and how best to use technology. He said that the mobile product lifecycle will run 18 months, which means that government agencies will have to rethink—and speed up—their entire procurement process. Given the rapid development, for example, it cannot take a year to get a phone approved. As for apps, Crossler noted those can be developed in two weeks, if the right person is working on them. However, he cautioned that running an app store is significantly harder than it looks. Both Google and Apple have teams dedicated to this because they’ve found it necessary. Crossler predicted that many of the government app stores springing up will either be consolidated or phased out, as the difficulty and cost in running them becomes apparent. Even with these challenges, though, mobile GEOINT offers too many advantages to be stopped. At the presentation, for example, an app was described that offered the ability to share geotagged photos and text among a trusted group. Another did the same for live video feeds. Both could be useful in disaster or tactical situations. Other apps displayed information about pirate attacks and offered the ability to report them. Yet another analyzed terrain and informed the user about the merits of one route over another. For mobile GEOINT, that small list may be an example of the biggest driver for smartphone use. As Mitre’s Crossler said, “It’s all about the apps.”

Full Motion to the Fore Panelists at video analysis workshop discuss a wide range of issues. With its increasing importance for operations—and its seemingly intractable challenges for managing massive amounts of data—the world of full motion video and related technologies came in for intensive analysis during a lunch session yesterday at the Pre-Symposium Science & Technology Forum. The session, entitled “WAS/WAPS/WAMI/FMV: Analysis of Video,” was moderated by Darryl Murdock, intelligence community account manager, Esri, and featured a number of representatives from companies involved in this fastgrowing field. Panelists offered a wide range of perspectives, covering a number of the many technological and operational issues involved in using video. Following are brief summaries of some of the ideas put forward by each. Tom Murdoch Sr., advanced programs manager, geospatial intelligence, Government Communications Systems Division, Harris Corp., emphasized the importance of timing as a foundation of video analysis. “When I start thinking about time scales, the important thing is that we have a reference system that allows us to establish where we are right now, and what that means going forward and backward,” he said. “The two elements of time that I want to touch on are the synchronization of data, and the latency.” Ed Bohling, chief technology officer and vice president, PAR Government, discussed the need to follow standards. “If we’re going to turn an application in a few months, we can’t do the data management over and over. We have to get it right the first time, so that people can roll out their applications.” Dr. Paul Runkle, chief executive officer, Signal Innovations Group, explained the benefits of synthesizing video tracking data and SIGINT. “The integration of video tracks and SIGINT enables the association of specific identification with video tracks,” he said. Brigadier General Brian A. Keller (ret.), vice president and senior ISR strategist, Intelligence Systems Business Unit, ISR Group, SAIC, formerly served as director of military support (DMS) of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. As DMS, he assisted the director in formulating and executing policy and managing agency activities in order to accomplish NGA’s mission—with special focus on agency support to war fighting commanders. With that experience, Keller addressed the operational context of what is important for analysts, and what needs to be done to turn the tsunami of data from video and other sources into decision support. “In isolation, wide area motion imagery is just not good enough,” he said. “With fusion, you can discover relationships that wouldn’t be seen with only one INT.” Charlie Morrison, director, business development, IS&GS security, Lockheed Martin, identified activity-based intelligence as a key to the WAMI revolution. Roger Thomas, executive vice president, homeland security, iMove, outlined his company’s technology for achieving 360 degree situational awareness, which he described as “Google Earth Street View on steroids.” Stephen W. Long, director, ISR and BMC2 integration and technology, Northrop Grumman, emphasized the need to “get out of the analog era,” noting that despite the benefits of digital technology, analog tools are still part of some video systems. He also listed 10 laws of full motion video, beginning with the idea that the quality of a system is determined by the expertise of its least informed engineers.

GEOINT 2011 SYMPOSIUM
Monday, oCtober 17, 2011
Today’s session Descriptions Lunchtime Workshops 12:30 P.M. - 2:00 P.M. GEOINT Support for Crisis Management: Operational Experience, Development Strategy, and Cooperation Perspective for International Actors Room 204 GEOINT has become an essential support tool for crisis management in the global arena. This international panel, chaired by the European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC), will discuss operational experience, strategic lessons-learned and the necessary institutional framework for effective cooperation involving such high-profile GEOINT organizations as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the Intelligence Fusion Centre (IFC, tbc) and the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO, tbc). The different missions of these key actors, their individual success stories and key leverage points, as well as their views on strategies to meet future challenges are presented. The panelists will discuss the increasing relevance of close and trustful cooperation for effective support to international missions and operations, and the special importance of clear legal frameworks as a necessary precondition. Examples for multilateral coordination of workload and data sharing will be presented. In this context, international cooperation will be addressed as a not only possible, but in fact necessary to overcome the ever-increasing demand for GEOINT services, as well as a possible answer to the constraining effects of budgetary limitations on operational effectiveness. • Adriano Baptista, Head of the Operations Division, European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC) • Robert Lamon, Senior GEOINT Advisor, Office of International Affairs, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) • Tomaž lovrencic, Director, European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC)
