IGI&S Responsibilities

4 of 22


• Mission: – Provide situational awareness of the installation battle space

to the Army enterprise

• Goals:– Provide basic enterprise Installations and Environment (I&E)

geospatial capability via Army Mapper– Increase availability of these GIS capabilities to the Army

enterprise– Develop standard I&E GIS data and tools– Eliminate redundant GIS capabilities

Key Army I&E IGI&S Policy and Practices

• Data Standards – Standards for installation data maintenance, documentation, and sharing– Spatial Data Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE)

data model• Data Proponency and Quality Assurance Plans *

– Align GIS to functional areas to reduce redundancy, improve integration

– Provide guidance to data stewards, collectors, and users with data layer acceptance criteria

• Common Installation Picture (CIP) *– Minimum set of standard data needed for I&E mapping

and analysis– Promote efficient data use across numerous

business/mission functions– All installations required to maintain

* Memorandum, DAIM-ZA, 15 Aug 08 Subject: US Army Installation Geospatial Information and Services (IGI&S) Data Proponency, Common Installation Picture, and Quality Assurance Plans (QAP)

Commercial Software Support

ESRI Blanket Purchase Agreement– All OACSIM, IMCOM and G-3/5/7 SRP units required to use a consolidated contract

vehicle to purchase ESRI software and maintenance • Memorandum, DAIM-ZA, 20 Dec 06 Subject: US Army Installation Geospatial Information

and Services (IGI&S) and Sustainable Range Program (SRP) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Policy

– Provides a discount on & better visibility of ESRI software expenses – Installation funded acquisitions are integrated under the Army BPA – ACSIM funded annual maintenance costs for IMCOM customersBentley Enterprise License Subscription– Single subscription fee enabling access to Bentley’s products, including training

• Applies to US Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve (CONUS locations only)• Currently effective Oct 1 2008 – Sept 30 2009

– Provides a discount on & better visibility of Bentley software expenses– Supports program goals of increasing geospatial capabilities and standardizing tools

across I&E domain

8 of 22


• IGI&S IDIQ Contract (Performance Based) – Awarded September 2008 (currently under protest)– Vehicle to support IGI&S DoD-wide

• Policy development– Completed Proponency Policy Memorandum– FY09 Finalize IGI&S regulation

• Army Mapper– Completed Migration to Full Enterprise Hosting Facility– Delivered providing platform to consolidate 31 garrison systems – Fulfilled 48 Army / DOD data requests via Army Mapper, enabling

garrison staff to focus on local support – Phase I: stand up 89 installations for data management in Army

Mapper– Army realized cost avoidance with Army Mapper integrations for:

• AMC and G3/5/7 ($2M)• ISR-NI ($300K)

– FY09 CADD/GIS Integration with ProjectWise– FY09 Initiate Business Process Support – FY09 Protoype migration of 5 Garrison systems

FY08/FY09 Initiatives

9 of 22


• Centralized data collection and standardization– Coordinated effort to support multiple proponents and any

I&E data layer– Completed prototype data collections at 2 installations

• Fort Sill - 38 plus 4 NHD/NWI layers• Fort Bliss - 33 draft layers plus 6 NHD layers

– FY09 effort for 13 environmental data layers at 45 installations• Imagery Collection

– Collected imagery at 9 Army Garrisons– Realized cost avoidance by partnering with United States

Geologic Survey (USGS) and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) on imagery acquisition ($500K)

Army Mapper Teaming – ISR (Installation Status Report – Natural Infrastructure)

“Map It” Functionality launches custom Army Mapper Web Map Viewer

Fort Example

• ISR-NI supported by Army Mapper– Standardized installation data used to develop analysis products

that feed ISR-NI assessment– Map It! functionality for review of GIS analysis– Going Forward: Expand mapping support to ISR-I

16 of 22


Army Mapper Teaming – Real Property

• The hardcopy land acquisition maps are audited tract maps from USACE District Real Estate Offices

• The Army compiles this data by georeferencing and digitizing audited tract maps collected from USACE Districts

• USGS quads and/or BLM township and range data aid in the georeferencing process

• All data is checked against imagery to ensure precision

17 of 22



• Districts review the data using free software ArcReader

• Additional data layers are included to give further reference:

– Streets– Buildings– Counties– Streams– Wetlands– Water bodies– Acreage

comparison (GIS AC and Land AC)

– Imagery (1m & 5m)

• Having electronically formatted tract acquisition information that represents hard copy Audited Tract Acquisition Maps.

• Certified by the Chief of Real Estate and therefore used for future audited real estate tract map data updates and gathering information.

• Ability to use digital maps in the same functions and purposes as we use the hardcopy maps for Army real estate activities in planning, acquisition, management, and disposal.

• Ability to innovate and easily analyze data in a way that was unthinkable with traditional hard copy maps.

20 of 22


Way Ahead

• Integrate IGI&S with key I&E business processes to support analysis and decision making

• Migrate garrison GIS systems to Army Mapper to standardize capabilities and reduce costs

• Develop enterprise IGI&S resourcing strategy to improve investment management and reduce costs

• Establish an IGI&S Executive Leadership Committee to ensure IGI&S is aligned with I&E priorities

• Finalize IGI&S Army Regulation to formalize roles and responsibilities
