The Information Operations Systems Program Office (IYG) intends to acquire from ERIM International Inc. (EII), Ann Arbor, MI, an upgrade to the Eagle Vision Data Integration Segment. The upgrade known as Joint Eagle, merges two ERIM developed systems: The Eagle Vision Data Integration Segment which processes commercial satellite imagery and the National Eagle System which merges national and commercial imagery into a common software baseline on two additional operator positions with transit case portability. Joint Eagle will ingest national and commercial source imagery, process national imagery in conjunction with commercial satellite imagery, and produce merged multispectral and orthorectified mosaic data products compatible with the Joint Analysis Center (JAC) and mission planning and rehearsal systems (AFMSS, TAMPS, PowerScene, TopScene, and others) The processed data will meet the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Controlled Image Base (CIB) and National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF)2.0 Standards. The upgrade will remain compatible with the existing commercial network interface standard in Eagle Vision and add interfaces to the classified base and JAC network Backbones. The upgrade will deploy to the JAC (Molesworth, England) in Sep 98. Staff personnel must currently possess Secret clearance. Total contract value is anticipated to be under $5M.
