1 Presented to USGIF ABI Working Group December 17, 2015 A NEW STRATEGIC MINDSET Mr. David Gauthier Director of Advanced Concepts, NGA/OPG

2 GEOINT Reinvented Persistent GEOINT Digital Production Object-Based Production Mission Effec+veness over Time Mission Effectiveness over Time Age of Content Age of Context

3 Opportunities for Change UNCLASSIFIED

4 Critical Focus Areas Automate data and information services Model our knowledge dynamically online Evolve culture and workforce Expand use of non-traditional sources UNCLASSIFIED

5 Automate data and information services Assist analysis on the most difficult questions Identify interesting information in the noise Automate repeatable tasks Train the machine with human expertise UNCLASSIFIED

6 Automate data and information services From printed information to online knowledge Mode ls UNCLASSIFIED

7 Model our knowledge dynamically online Explicit knowledge has been written down, described verbally, or captured in diagrams or documents Tacit knowledge is gained through experience and is not, has not, or cannot effectively be communicated Analytic models capture both explicit and tacit knowledge h3p://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/file:iceberg.jpg

8 Model our knowledge: Heroin Production Harvest Production Transport Wisdom of crowds Machine understanding Systems thinking Combines processes with observable indicators

9 Model our knowledge: Selling Girl Scout Cookies

10 Evolve our culture and workforce Today s Workforce: Specialized Transitional Workforce: New Skills, New Linkages Workforce 2021: Flexible & Adaptable NGA will build on the legacy of our strengths to create the GEOINT workforce of the future

11 Expand use of non-traditional sources

12 Expand use of non-traditional sources Open Sources Use Sparingly Airborne 2-3 Servings OPIR, MASINT 1-2 Servings Commercial 3-5 Servings SIGINT 2-3 Servings NTM 6-11 Servings

13 Industry Assistance Develop and integrate unclassified GEOINT services Information services instead of more pixels Help integrate and expand multi-layer capabilities Ensure data interoperability and build cooperative capabilities Data at Rest Source independence Help solve our issues with identification and access management, Cross Domain services, and integration of new sources Design to use IC knowledge models No system is a stovepipe Systems will operate from our knowledge in the cloud

15 Persistence is the vehicle that will drive us forward Customer-Centric Succeed in the Open Coherence from Chaos We ll move from seeing to sensing from sensing to understanding from understanding to anticipating because our adversaries demand it and our customers deserve it. All of this is enabled as we move from blinking to persisting. Robert Cardillo, Director NGA

16 Persistent GEOINT: A New Strategic Mindset Ø A focused intelligence strategy to detect change, characterize activity, infer behavior, and discover unknowns Ø Uses the full spectrum of GEOINT sensors and phenomenologies to address the most challenging Intelligence questions Analysis Knowledge Collec-on
