About this file
This Request for Information from the Department of the Army seeks industry feedback on an All Source Intelligence Application to support brigade-level and higher echelon mission analysis and planning. Respondents are asked to provide a completed requirements checklist, describe how their solution would satisfy the requirements including hosting on the Command Post Computing Environment, and to address data normalization, correlation, pattern matching and movement projection analysis. Cost information should include licensing options and sustainment costs, with development costs to meet any unsatisfied requirements. Responses are due by May 14th in the form of a white paper accompanied by the requirements checklist and rough order of magnitude estimates.

The Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation (SSGF) Overview
Relevant Information for Intel Apps April 2021 RFI
The Geospatial Foundation
The Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation (SSGF) and the Common Operational
Picture (COP) are the geospatial foundation of the Army Geospatial Enterprise (AGE), ensuring interoperability among Army systems. The Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation defines the common foundational geospatial data; while the Common Operational Picture defines the standardized mission command displays.
Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation
The Standard Sharable Geospatial Foundation is authoritative geospatial data that helps the
Army achieve common situational awareness among fighting forces. It enables commanders to drive planning, make decisions, and assess military operations. A reliable geospatial foundation minimizes the size and effort required by the Army to provide geospatial data to all computing systems.
The Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation consists of four data types (feature data, maps and charts, imagery, and elevation data). Each of these data types is collected and assembled from multiple sources along with information gathered in the field. The Standard Shareable
Geospatial Foundation is provisioned as raw data, Open Geospatial Consortium web services, and three-dimensional globes. As one of the Army's sixteen operational cross-cutting capabilities, it will evolve over time, reducing the number of accepted formats and increasing the use of web services.
It is the work of geospatial engineers to update and manage the Standard Shareable Geospatial Foundation to maintain its currency and accuracy. Engineers provide the content to experts in the field, who in turn overlay their relevant mission data. It is the interoperability standards developed within the Army Geospatial Enterprise that enable mission command systems in the field to discover, access, share, and portray authoritative geospatial foundation data.
Common Operational Picture
The Common Operational Picture is a single, identical display of operational information, such as the position of allies and enemy troops, laid over authoritative, foundation geospatial data.
This can include not only functional overlays, but also mission command information, and intelligence. Units share the single identical display of information across echelons and platforms to enhance situational awareness.
Similar to commercial geospatial data, the Army’s geospatial data must be managed to ensure its effectiveness. Geospatial engineers ensure that correct map editions are used and that updates are incorporated into the mission command system so that all users are operating from a common map background. Incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated geospatial information contributes to information overload and can be misleading.
