Enhanced Imagery System (EIS)
The Enhanced Imaging System (EIS) will represent the next
generation of raw source material for exploitation within the
USIGS Architecture, NIMA and NIMA's external customers.
EIS consists of two effectivities, E-300 and E-305, that will
provide new capabilities to the USIGS. USIGS must be
capable of tasking, processing, archiving, disseminating, and
exploiting EIS data. Many aspects of E-300 and E-305 will
impact NIMA USIGS systems and programs which must be
carefully assessed for proper integration throughout its entire
life-cycle.
Data format changes (E-300-Enhanced Collection System
(ECS)) and new capabilities (E-305-new radar capability) will
result from these two effectivities. NIMA must insure that the
imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial production
systems incorporate the required interface changes to assure
minimum impact to its imagery, imagery intelligence, and
geospatial production capability and associated external
customer systems.
