IFTN Phase 1 Project GoalsAccomplish a few near-term steps to move existing Federal programs towards IFTN goals while developing a more comprehensive plan for IFTN Document Federal imagery requirements and expenditures Begin to institutionalize imagery funding – move from the “tin cup” approach of project-based funding to reliable funding at the executive levelModel a process for Federal enterprise geospatial data acquisition efforts Complete Phase 1 by end of calendar year 2008

Page 5: Imagery for the Nation

Project Assumptions IFTN is a Federal program conducted in partnership with state and local government IFTN will address the Federal enterprise, to include all FGDC member agenciesThe Project will build upon USDA’s National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and the USGS-NGA Urban Area Imagery Partnership (UAIP) Depending on the documented requirements, the 1 meter program will be managed by USDA, and high resolution by USGS IFTN data will be in the public domain (with flexibility for exceptions) Considering both aerial and satellite solutions

Page 6: Imagery for the Nation

Project Assumptions An IFTN governance body that is approved by the FGDC Steering Committee will be defined in the Phase 1 Project The governance body will serve as a forum for Federal coordination with state agencies/plans, ensure requirements are being met, and adjust the program as needed The form and specific functions of the governing body will be determined by the Work Groups as part of the IFTN plan

Page 7: Imagery for the Nation

Phase 1 Outcomes1. Accomplish a few near-term steps to move

existing imagery programs towards IFTN goals National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP)

– institutionalize funding for national 1m coverage over a 3-year cycle

Urban Area Imagery – broaden the requirements and planning process to be more inclusive

2. Draft a more comprehensive plan for implementing IFTN across the Federal enterprise in partnership with state and local government

NGAC Issues – Procurement Strategy

Use of best practices model - IDIQ/QBS for procurement and small business participation - The Contracting Working Group (CWG) has developed recommendations related to this contracting best practice issues; when all CWG members have had a chance to provide comments, recommendations will be provided to the Executive CommitteeAnalysis of capacity and reduction capabilities - The CWG is working with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) to survey aerial image acquisition firms to assess their existing capacity to meet IFTN requirements; also meeting with commercial satellite image providers to determine their ability to meet IFTN technical and licensing requirementsOther Contracting Working Group Actions

Developed a list of existing Federal contracts with scope to include acquisition of imagery that meet IFTN specifications

Coordinating with the GeoLOB Common Services working group by providing comments to a pending geospatial “SmartBuy” RFI

Executive SupportExecutive SupportDOI Secretary Kempthorne expressed government commitment to IFTN in his keynote speech at the ESRI Users’ Conference in August:“…we are leading an effort called Imagery for the Nation, in which we will collect in one place, in one standard form, all of the nation's imagery for the benefit of all Americans. Think about it like this… we’ll gather puzzle pieces from every Federal agency creating imagery. We will then create a tremendous and helpful mosaic of our nation.”

Secretary Honored for His Leadership in the Federal Government and Support of Geospatial Technology
