NIMA’s Strategy
Migrate to an information production environment
Develop a geospatial information framework of sufficient data content and accuracy to support Global Preparedness, Theater Readiness & Mission Responsiveness:
- Foundation Data (FD) - Supports planning and initial operations
- Mission-Specific Data Sets (MSDS)
- Supports tactical planning and operations
- Densified foundation data - tailored to meet user/mission requirements
- Qualified Data (QD) - Alternative source to FD & MSDS
Satisfy highest priorities for traditional products while transitioning to geospatial information
- There will be some “trade-offs”
