The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just issued a Request for Information (RFI) on their “Common Operational Picture” project. The project aims to integrate massive amounts of data from various tools into a single location for quick update and analysis of critical situations. One part in particular they’re asking for information on is :
.(6) VISUALIZE INFORMATION: (a) Allow for the automatic display of data and reports in the NOC COP in accordance with established business rules.(b) Allow users to create a unique UDOP on a single desktop or for dissemination on multiple panels as found in a typical operations center. An individual UDOP does not affect or copy back to the NOC COP.
(7) DISPLAY GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION: (a) Use DHS enterprise geospatial services including iCAV and DHS Earth. There will be no duplication of capability. (b) Automatically or manually organize and depict layered information geospatially on map or other image.
Common Operational Picture (COP) – Federal Business Opportunities: Opportunities.
