Bringing our IT and System Integration experience to bear, Cross Enterprise Integration provides a live demonstration of interoperability within diverse SOA enterprises residing at different locations and belonging to independent organizations; a situation that is representative of multiple communities of interest that need to interact, share services and collaborate on a common intelligence problem. This demonstration incorporates 3 locations and utilizes two separate service buses from different vendors, and yet can exchange information, collaborate, execute services and interoperate regardless of whether the capability is internal or external to their enterprise. This allows separate organizations to share resources such as target databases, reporting systems, collection management, processing services and so forth. With seamless access to people and capabilities, cross enterprise integration is a key enabler to community-wide interoperability to address intelligence problems in a timely and cost-effective fashion.

The Harris Mission Integration Framework demonstrates a NAC compliant SOA approach to the integration of GEOINT services, processing, data access and visualization. The framework incorporates services from Harris and ESRI, developed independently and integrated using a Business Process Execution Language to orchestrate the process of retrieving source data, executing services and producing the final product. Underlying these services is a Virtual Storage Area Network (vSAN) that contains source imagery and products in geospatially separate locations, equally accessible to any service on the network. Service Level Agreements are monitored and compliance or performance issues are reported. With this framework, new services are integrated and applications can be developed rapidly to meet mission needs.

With over 50 years of experience, Harris is the worldwide leader of digital media solutions in the broadcast industry. Motion Imagery Integration is a demonstration of integrated COTS products that manage live and archived video for industry, as well as news and sports giants. FAME (Full Motion Video Asset Management Engine) is being demonstrated as a comprehensive solution to similar problems within the IC and DoD associated with the management and distribution of UAV motion imagery collections. It automatically creates, extracts, stores, and discovers metadata related to full motion video (FMV) and other intelligence. FMV intelligence content is related to the metadata, then stored and distributed using broadcast-proven methods that maximize video quality and minimize network overhead.

Known for our Geospatial Processing innovations, GEOINT Innovation highlights 4 new technologies that are coming out of our Internal Research and Development (IR&D) Program, as well as Government sponsored research and development programs. Three of the featured topics are centered around our advancements in automated LiDAR and correlated digital elevation model processing. Foliage Depiction highlights our ability to automatically and accurately extract tree canopies and generate trunks and branches from either first return LiDAR or high-resolution digital elevation models. Void Fill demonstrates the latest automated techniques for replacing gaps in digital elevation models more accurately and with few undesirable artifacts. Auto DEM illustrates the capability to automatically generate digital elevation models with a post spacing of one point per pixel from high-resolution stereo imagery. Using new processing techniques a level 5 DEM can be generated from commercial stereo satellite imagery and a level 6 DEM or better can be generated from stereo aerial collections. 3D Buildings illustrates a new capability that generates a fully realistic and accurate representation of the interior and exterior of a building. Exterior 3D building structures, generated from satellite or aerial imagery, are registered with the 3D building interiors, generated from the buildings CAD drawings and photographs of the building interior, to form and integrated 3D building model.
