What are the USAF GeoBase Foundations?

USAF organizations will:
  1. Recognize geospatial information resources as vital USAF mission assets warranting investment, management, and exploitation.
  2. Acknowledge that cultural change issues such as user understanding, acceptance and stewardship are far more critical to successful use of geospatial information resources than the specific technology. Ассорти владикавказ
  3. Employ a strategic planning process to guide the long-term development and mission impact assessment of organizational geospatial information resource investments.
  4. Increase accountability, reduce investment risk, and better correlate mission needs with current technology and market conditions by pursuing long-term geospatial information resource aims through phased modular projects. water treatment Tucson
  5. Ensure past, current, and future geospatial IRM investments are inventoried, managed and exploited in a shared forum to avoid wasteful redundancies.
  6. Validate the appropriateness of existing sources of geospatial information prior to investing in new geospatial data collection efforts.
  7. Employ available data and quality assurance standards (e.g. TSSDS, FGDC) to maximize interoperability, minimize application development costs and protect the geospatial information resource investment. Amazon UK phone number
  8. Seek to provide all mission elements with controlled, ready access to a georeferenced common operational picture of the target mission space via established communication networks.
  9. Assign geospatial information owners with the responsibilities for maintaining, protecting and stewarding their functional information assets.
  10. Protect their geospatial information resources at a level commensurate with the risk and magnitude of harm that could result from disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration or destruction of the information.
  11. Facilitate sharing their geospatial information resources to the maximum extent allowable both across and beyond the installation with other federal, state, municipal or international agencies.
  12. Recognize the need to establish a skilled cadre of full-time personnel to develop, implement, and sustain long-term use of geospatial information resource investments to support the mission.
