Statement of Work
For
NSGI GeoScout Contract
The National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSGI) is the integration of technology,
policies, standards, mission and corporate capabilities, services and doctrine necessary to
conduct Geospatial Intelligence in a multi-intelligence (multi-INT) environment. NIMA, as a
corporate enterprise and as the functional manager of the NSGI, is transforming to enhance its
position as the premier Geospatial Intelligence provider.
The GeoScout contract is the principal vehicle for delivering transformed NIMA mission and
corporate capabilities. The GeoScout contractor will be responsible for conducting enterprise
system integration and providing capabilities that support the integration of NIMA's corporate
and mission information. GeoScout is a bold new approach for how NIMA will simultaneously
improve the existing infrastructure, while delivering dramatic, new capabilities - the best the
commercial world has to offer. GeoScout's scope is broad, focusing not only on NIMA's
systems, but also on the policies, processes, services, standards, infrastructure, architecture,
systems, and change management that comprise the complete NSGI to include the corporate
environment. The goal of the GeoScout contract is to enable the transformation of NIMA to an
agile fully capable enterprise that anticipates and adapts quickly to changing business and
customer information needs.
The transformation precepts identified below are detailed in the NSGI Enterprise Transformation
Integrated Product Team (NETIPT) Final Report. These precepts will guide NIMA's activities
toward achieving our desired future state. These precepts will also set the direction NIMA must
take to transform into an agile, elite intelligence organization that meets our customers'
increasing requirements for mission capability and performance.
Simply stated, the 10 Precepts represent an overview of the areas that must be addressed to
realize the goals of NIMA's Statement of Strategic Intent. The precepts are framed in the context
of three areas intrinsic to all organizations - people, process, and technology -and call for NIMA
to:
1. Sustain Leadership Commitments
2. Create and Foster a World-Class Workforce
3. Modernize the Workplace
4. Implement a Customer-Focused Business Model
5. Deliver the Future Enterprise Architecture Using GeoScout
6. Exploit All Sensor Types and Sources
7. Institutionalize a Data-Centric Architecture
8. Strengthen the Geospatial Intelligence Functional Manager's Role
?2.%}.2,200%,
 UNCLASSIFIED
RFP Version 1.0
9. Ensure NIMA's Unique Value-Added Mission Contribution
10. Effectively Communicate the Progress of Transformation
To accomplish the goals identified in the NIMA Statement of Strategic Intent, NIMA must
fundamentally change its processes for systems acquisition and continuous technology insertion.
Therefore, NIMA is adhering to Department of Defense (DoD) policies for evolutionary
acquisition and spiral development as described in Section 1.2.
The GeoScout contract serves as the primary mechanism to realize Precepts 3 through 7. Full
enterprise transformation requires incorporation of new business processes through change
management and new technologies, leveraging emerging commercial trends. This requires a
new architecture as a basis, one that merges the tools and systems needed for the creation and
management of Geospatial Intelligence. GeoScout will design, develop and deliver this
architecture. Since state-of-the-art information and data creation, integration and access are
essential to satisfying NIMA's mission, this architecture must be data-centric. Thus, GeoScout
will fulfill Precept 7, Institutionalize a Data-Centric Architecture. GeoScout will also satisfy
Precept 6, Exploit All Sensor Types and Sources, by providing new capabilities and technologies
that are needed to better exploit commercial imagery, airborne imagery and National Technical
Means (NTM) in an integrated manner. GeoScout will also help satisfy Precept 4, Implement a
Customer-Focused Business Model, by providing robust collaboration tools as well as a new,
end-to-end information management capability. GeoScout will establish new business processes,
business rules and performance metrics across the enterprise.
Finally, GeoScout will also help satisfy Precept 3, Modernize the Workplace, by accelerating the
investment in infrastructure. The NIMA Enterprise Geospatial Intelligence Environment
(ENGINE) Program was initiated to create NIMA's Information Technology Infrastructure (ITI).
The patchwork approach of the past has left NIMA's existing infrastructure unable to meet
current or future requirements. User expectations for a robust, dependable and serviceable
infrastructure are not being met. The ENGINE program was initiated to begin the transformation
of the ITT, to correct current deficiencies and provide a solid infrastructure that satisfies NIMA's
operational needs while implementing the GeoScout architecture. The ENGINE program has
seven focus areas: Network Transport Layer, Telephone System Upgrade, Workstation Recap,
Enterprise Management, Information Management, Data Storage and Management, and
Computer Network Defense. The first three focus areas (networks, telephones and workstations)
are near term activities targeted by the NETIPT to be completed by FY04 (funding permitting)
using an appropriate mix of existing and planned contracts.
1.2 ACQUISITION APPROACH
NIMA is embracing an evolutionary acquisition and spiral development approach as well as a
focus on shifting from a classic requirements driven, vertical segmented construct to a
capabilities based, customer-focused construct.
Key definitions of this approach, taken from The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics Memorandum Subject: "Evolutionary Acquisition and Spiral
Development", 12 April 2002, are in Appendix A.
 UNCLASSIFIED
RFP Version 1.0
In this new systems acquisition paradigm, NIMA's systems engineering and acquisition activities
are consolidated into three major contracts: the Enterprise Engineering contract, the GeoScout
systems integration contract, and existing Operations and Sustainment (O&S) contracts. The
NSGI legacy and heritage system contracts, to include both mission and corporate
applications/systems (e.g. Requirements Management System (RMS), Image Product Library
(IPL), Information Dissemination Services (IDS), Integrated Exploitation Capability (EEC),
PeopleSoft) will initially continue, but will be expeditiously phased out as the GeoScout
contractor inserts modern capabilities that replace them.
1.3 GOVERNMENT OBJECTIVES
The Government's objective is to modernize, acquire, deploy, and maintain an affordable,
flexible, reliable, and easily scalable NSGI that meets customers' current and future
expectations. The modernized NSGI will permit rapid adaptation to changing mission needs and
collection strategies through rapid and continuous technology insertion and implementation of
Standards-based Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (SCOTS) solutions. Technology insertion via
GeoScout will serve as the engine to continuously transform NIMA. Government goals include:
1. Provide clear accountability in systems integration while permitting maximum contractor
flexibility during system design and development.
2. Transform NIMA's infrastructure into a fully modernized Information Technology (IT)
environment that supports mission and corporate operations and will fully support the
modernized NSGI architecture. Modernize the IT environment in a manner that is cost
effective, seamless to operations, and enhances workforce effectiveness and efficiency.
Integrate NIMA's networks, systems, applications and databases so that the needed
content can be quickly and easily retrieved and delivered electronically. This
environment will facilitate dynamic updates to NIMA's information and will
revolutionize and shorten traditional analytical and business processes. The modernized
NSGI infrastructure will meet Operational Availability (A0) Key Performance Parameters
(KPP) of 99% (threshold) and 99.99% (objective).
3. Deploy a prototype environment where analysts and users/customers can "test-drive" new
tools and work processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace. This
prototype environment will provide the capability to test new capabilities that will
ultimately be delivered throughout NIMA.
4. Enable the achievement of the proposed future architecture by delivering a fully
integrated, comprehensive, end-to-end NSGI system architecture that addresses both
corporate and mission needs. The architecture will be mission driven, data centric,
customer focused, highly reliable, agile, scalable, available, flexible, recoverable, and
highly collaborative. This system architecture, based on open systems, will facilitate the
rapid, continuous insertion of technology and support an evolutionary acquisition
approach.

6. Deliver a common, intuitive, efficient, reliable, and economical Geospatial Intelligence
database populated through collaborative community processes. This database will allow
for the easy and timely access to archived data to support analysis of complex Geospatial
Intelligence problems and the production of standard and tailored products that can be
easily queried. The goal is the capture, discovery and retrieval of Geospatial Intelligence
data, information and knowledge, with a high level of assuredness by NIMA and its
information partners at multiple levels of security.
7. Provide NIMA and its information partners an integrated, multi-intelligence (Multi-INT)
and Geospatial Intelligence analytical environment. This integrated environment will
support both Imagery Analysts (IA) and Geospatial Analysts (GA). This environment
will use all available source data and contain a dynamic suite of technology-current tools
to allow creative and innovative approaches to address immediate and long-term
customer requirements covering the full spectrum of NIMA services. Production and
dissemination of Geospatial Intelligence products and data will be an integral part of this
integrated analytical environment.
8. Deliver a scalable and responsive capability to archive, retrieve and disseminate
Geospatial Intelligence information across the NSGI at multiple security levels. This
capability will ensure long-term assured storage and retrieval of Geospatial Intelligence
in accordance with Continuity of Operations (COOP) practices and Business Continuity
Planning expectations, contingency operations, records management and national
archival storage mandates.
9. Deliver an integrated information management capability that will leverage commercial
products and best business practices. This information management capability will
provide on-line ordering, entry, and tracking of Geospatial Intelligence information as
well as workflow management within the NSGI. Moreover, this information
management capability will harvest commercial enterprise-level tools for supply-chain,
customer-relationship, and enterprise-resource management and effectively build an
efficient foundation for streamlined NSGI operations.
10. Perform system integration of legacy, heritage, and new, innovative capabilities needed
to support mission requirements. Determine how each will be used within NSGI, and by
whom. Verify interoperability and compatibility with the NSGI enterprise. In order to
maximize Government investment, NSGI will leverage, as appropriate, existing
capabilities from within the Intelligence Community (IC) and DoD, such as (but not
limited to) the Joint Intelligence Virtual Architecture (JIVA), Intelligence Community
System for Information Sharing (ICSIS), and the Global Information Grid (GIG).

custom and Standards-based Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (SCOTS) Geospatial Intelligence
systems will support the following thrust areas:
? Network Transport Layer Improvements. NIMA's transport layer will provide consistent
Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity at all sites. This change will provide the
flexibility for analysts to perform their mission in NIMA facilities or occupied space and
allow any work area to be converted to a production area by replacing the workstation.
? Enterprise Management. The Enterprise Service Center (ESC) will provide redundant,
responsive enterprise management through a consolidated help desk, technical support
and enterprise monitoring capabilities.
? Information Access on the Web (Gateway). NIMA's Gateway (web-based dissemination
system) will provide improvement to the user interface, discovery and retrieval
capabilities, capacities, and product dissemination. The Gateway will provide tools and
support applications needed to fully implement the Imagery Throughput Management
program recommended by the NETIPT.
? Data Storage and Management. The data storage capability will optimize the use of
modem data storage technologies and satisfy COOP, Business Continuity Plan
expectations and contingency operations objectives.
? Workspace Improvements. NIMA's long-term objective is to more efficiently use
facility spaces. A prototype for protected communications closets will be evaluated as
the future standard for facility modifications, and will subsequently provide the basis for
future facility modifications. Facility plans will assist NIMA to reach downward directed
targets to reduce the total number of NIMA workstations.

turn, drive the content of the spirals within it. Both blocks and spirals may be of varying length,
and may overlap (i.e., blocks may overlap other blocks, and spirals may overlap other spirals).
Notionally, blocks may range from a few months to a few years, and spirals may range from
three to 18 months. The near term blocks will have more detail than subsequent blocks.
3.4.4 The GeoScout contractor shall incrementally update and maintain the NSGI System
Transition Plan and the Life Cycle Cost Estimate. The NSGI System Transition Plan shall

Business Case. An acquisition/procurement business case is a comprehensive assessment of the
economic factors. The business case applies to decisions involving proposed and existing
business methods; and current and proposed information technology. It includes benchmarking
against the best-accepted practices in both the private and public sectors. A business case
quantifies costs, benefits and risks. It compares alternatives to the baseline, where the baseline is
business as usual; and the alternative is the management initiative leading to savings. The
baseline includes only business that is subject to change. A business case provides one major
input to the decision makers.
Capability Maturity Model? Integration (CMMI?). The purpose of Capability Maturity
Model? Integration (CMMI?) is to provide guidance for improving an organization's processes
and its ability to manage the development, acquisition, and maintenance of products and
services. CMMI? places proven practices into a structure that helps an organization assess its
organizational maturity and process area capability, establish priorities for improvement, and
guide the implementation of these improvements.
Change Management. Change management is managing the continuous process of aligning an
organization with its environment by ensuring the collaboration, participation, and
communication necessary to implement effective change.
Computer Network Defense (CND). Actions taken to protect, monitor, analyze, detect, and
respond to unauthorized activity within DoD information systems and computer networks.
NOTE: The unauthorized activity may include disruption, denial, degradation, destruction,
exploitation, or access to computer networks, information systems or their contents, or theft of
information. CND protection activity employs information assurance protection activity and
includes deliberate actions taken to modify an assurance configuration or condition in response
to a CND alert or threat information.
Continuity of Operations (COOP). A comprehensive and effective program to ensure
continuity of essential Federal functions under all circumstances as well as the backup and
recovery of systems and data essential to business continuity.

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). Plans, programs and operations undertaken to assure
the continuity and viability of the economy and the government.
Enterprise Geospatial Intelligence Environment (ENGINE). The program identified to
create an engineered, current, capable, reliable IT infrastructure for NTMA.
Evolutionary Acquisition. An acquisition strategy that defines, develops, produces or acquires,
and fields an initial hardware or software increment (or block) of operational capability. It is
based on technologies demonstrated in relevant environments, time-phased requirements, and
demonstrated manufacturing or software deployment capabilities. These capabilities can be
provided in a shorter period of time, followed by subsequent increments of capability over time
that accommodate improved technology and allowing for full and adaptable systems over time.
Each increment will meet a useful capability specified by the user (i.e., at least the thresholds set
by the user for that increment); however, the first increment may represent only 60% to 80 % of
the desired final capability.
There are two basic approaches to evolutionary acquisition. In one approach, the ultimate
functionality can be defined at the beginning of the program, with the content of each deployable
increment determined by maturation of key technologies. In the second approach, the ultimate
functionality cannot be defined at the beginning of the program and each increment of capability
is defined by the maturation of the technologies matched against the evolving needs of the user.
Geospatial Intelligence. The exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to
describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on
the Earth.
Heritage System. A system that was acquired after the formation of NIMA as an organization.
Increment or Block. A useful and supportable operational capability that can be effectively
developed, produced or acquired, deployed and sustained. Each increment of capability will have
its own set of thresholds and objectives set by the user.
Information Assurance (IA). Information Operations (IO) that protect and defend information
and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality,
and non-repudiation. This includes providing for restoration of information systems by
incorporating protection, detection, and reaction capabilities and includes robust systems design
that ensures maximum confidence in data quality, retention, storage and utilization to include
prevention of corruption.
Information Technology/Disaster Recovery (IT/DR). Plans and operations that focus upon
data/computer center and/or local/wide area network recovery following a disruption including
specific actions for restoring or recovering IT and other systems after they fail.
 UNCLASSIFIED

Infrastructure. The NSGI infrastructure provides the common communications networks, core
computing systems and services, and facilities that support information management, archive and
dissemination, exploitation, and corporate applications. It consists of the communications,
processing, storage, operating systems, and common support services that sustain NSGI
operations. The infrastructure establishes the common operating environment that supports
interoperability for exchanging information. Infrastructure resources and services may be
provided by organizations outside of NIMA and may be shared by the NSGI and other
enterprises.
Integration. The process of combining components, usually hardware and software, into a new,
larger component to achieve some architectural requirement. Integration requires resolution of
compatibility issues between components that are to be interconnected. Integration attempts to
allow sharing of a common resource (such as data) without the need for intermediate translations
from one format to another. Note that the Common Operating Environment is a technique for
achieving integration that ensures interoperability. (Defense Information Infrastructure Common
Operating Environment IRTS)
Integrator. The GeoScout contractor integrates or incorporates NIMA's current disparate
operations, processes, and systems into one coherent organization and an NSGI that satisfies the

knowledge and discipline intelligence with accuracies, confidence levels, timeliness and clarity
not available through the use of single specialty tradecraft and processes.
National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSGI). The integration of technology, policies,
mission and corporate capabilities, and doctrine necessary to conduct Geospatial Intelligence in a
multi-intelligence environment.
Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P31). A traditional acquisition strategy that provides for
adding improved capability to a mature system.
Spiral Development. An iterative process for developing a defined set of capabilities within
one block. This process provides the opportunity for interaction between the user, tester, and
developer. In this process, the requirements are refined through experimentation and risk
management, there is continuous feedback, and the user is provided the best possible capability
within the block. Each block may include a number of spirals. Spiral development implements
evolutionary acquisition.

I. ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING
A. Overview
The Enterprise Engineering program will provide independent engineering support across the
enterprise, facilitate the application of consistent, unified systems engineering principles, evolve
the technical and operational architecture, and assure adherence to the standards. The NIMA
Enterprise Architect (NIMA/ET) and the NIMA Chief Engineer (NIMA/AE) will manage the
Enterprise Architecture developed under the NEA contract. The Enterprise Engineering program
and rR %!U&V
 UNCLASSIFIED
RFP Version 1.0
will provide direct support to the NIMA Enterprise Architect and the NIMA Chief Engineer to
accomplish this.
This strategy moves NIMA from segmented systems engineering support tasks to a unified
enterprise engineering approach. Enterprise engineering is the application of systems
engineering principles and practices across an organization, from sources through users, to
manage and maintain the technical and operational view of the Enterprise Architecture, and
assure adherence to approved standards. Enterprise Engineering is needed to provide the NIMA
Enterprise Architect and the NIMA Chief Engineer with the necessary skills and resources to
manage the Enterprise Architecture developed by the GeoScout Program.
The Enterprise Engineering contractor will manage and ensure the end-to-end integrity of the
NSGI, provide an operational description and requirements specification of the planned NSGI
that will include:
? Intended deployment of capabilities over operational nodes
? Connectivity among these capabilities and nodes
? Interfaces to external systems and users
? System behavior in terms of use cases and data flows
Enterprise Engineering will document and establish a roadmap and schedule for the architecture,
the security environment, the conceptual data model and the concept of operations, ensure that
the roadmaps converge at a common point in the same timeframe to deliver a capability-based
effectivity, and chair or moderate permanent or ad hoc fora to facilitate accomplishment of its
mission and functions.

GeoScout is the prime contract responsible for transforming the NSGI into an agile, multi-
faceted 21st century architecture. The GeoScout contract will:
? Implement system integration for all NSGI systems, to include all heritage and legacy
systems
? Acquire and develop new system capabilities
? Modernize the infrastructure required to transform the mission and corporate environments
and support COOP and contingency operations, via continuous spiral technology insertion
? Be responsible for the technical interfaces with commercial partners (commercial imagery,
Global Geospatial Intelligence (GGI) production, and other outsourced activities)
? Implement an architecture that realizes the objectives of the NIMA Statement of Strategic
Intent, replacing legacy and heritage functionality over time consistent with available funding
and business case analysis
The GeoScout contractor will be managed by NIMA/A, but be responsive to NIMA/P, NIMA/I,
NIMA/TO, and external customers, the Enterprise Architect, NIMA/AE and Enterprise Engineer.
GeoScout will implement the modern NSGI architecture that supports 24X7 analysis and
production operations in a continuing crisis environment.
The NSGI transformation will provide NIMA customers with the Geospatial Intelligence that
meets the need for on-demand information (fused, global, day/night/all weather) and in-depth
analysis and tradecraft, integrated with the user's operational environment. NIMA's customers
range from a "data consumer" who requires the most basic data to a "knowledge seeker," who
requires integrated Geospatial Intelligence to make informed decisions. "Information partners"
require access to Geospatial Intelligence and work collaboratively with NIMA to address broad
Community information needs. In the NSGI transformation, NIMA becomes a broker of
information and knowledge, as well as an enabler of Community collaboration.
GeoScout will enable NIMA's transformational outcomes: all digital data-centric environment,
state-of-the-art approach, enhanced analyst workplace, and a "ubiquitous knowledge map."
To support the above overarching requirements, GeoScout will implement architectural
innovations that address the following objectives:
? Intelligent web agents for integrated Intelligence Community (IC) data mining
? Automated processing
? IC-wide collaborative problem solving
? Geospatially-enabled wide area search
? Continuous rapid technology insertion
? Maximum use of Standards-based Commercial Off-the-Shelf (SCOTS) products
? Integrated logical and physical data models to enable a data-centric architecture
? Co-registered measurement and signatures intelligence (MASINT) with Geospatial
Intelligence data
 UNCLASSIFIED
RFP Version 1.0
Technology insertion will serve as the engine that drives continuous, ongoing transformation of
NSGI. Within NIMA's new technology insertion paradigm, the Geospatial Intelligence
Advancement Test bed (GIAT) will serve as the new model for developing innovative solutions
for NIMA's "hard problems." Inherent technology sources, in addition to the GIAT, include but
are not limited to the National Technical Alliance (NTA), Advanced Research and Development
(AR&D) partners, Intelligence Community partners, vendors, and the GeoScout and Enterprise
Engineering contractors. Unlike past technology development efforts, the GIAT will physically
collocate technology researchers and operational users to attack problems that are unique to
Geospatial Intelligence and beyond commercial solutions. The GIAT will develop tools,
technologies, and techniques that are evaluated in a real world environment. The GIAT provides
a risk tolerant environment that promotes informed risk taking, and enables both quick turn-
around and AR&D of exotic technologies.
If successful in the experimental environment, the GIAT and other technology insertion
initiatives will be proposed for the NPE managed by the GeoScout contractor. GeoScout will
leverage the NPE as the virtual rapid prototyping facility where new business process
experiments will address real-world Geospatial Intelligence issues using current and emerging
cutting-edge technologies. The NPE will use the results of AR&D sponsored by the NIMA
InnoVision Directorate, other research and development efforts, and good ideas from other
sources to operationally prototype real solutions for real users.
GeoScout will provide NIMA customers with integrated Geospatial Intelligence capabilities,
such as integrated commercial imagery ordering/distribution; full airborne data ingest, access and
utilization; and expanded multi-INT collaboration, to include product access and automated
cross-mission cueing.
Finally, GeoScout will encompass all the current NSGI Tasking, Processing, Exploitation, and
Dissemination (TPED) functionality plus full enterprise integration with information
management, business workflow processes, finance and human resources.
