Abstract
Homeland Defense Mission Assurance Portal (HD-MAP) Capabilities Track: Homeland Security/Homeland Defense Author(s): Chad Vance, Jeffrey Dodd The Department of Defense (DoD) has long understood the need for access to critical information to conduct successful military operations. Over time, the U.S. military has increasingly become an information-enabled fighting force. Timely reach-back capability to integrate and visualize volumes of data from a variety of sources has become essential to support critical decision-making. To satisfy this need, the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Mission Assurance Division has created the Homeland Defense - Mission Assurance Portal (HD-MAP). HD-MAP is created to dynamically visualize and disseminate analysis produced for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense (OASD/HD), United States Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, Combatant Commands, Military Services, and various Defense Agencies. This ArcIMS-based tool is designed to provide a Common Operational Picture (COP) with overlays of data, including but not limited to threat, vulnerability, mission impact, infrastructure networks, near real-time feeds, and weather in support of integrated risk management decision making.
