Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPPD8) states that government solutions should be technology agnostic; in other words they must
be interoperable with a variety of systems. In addition, the Council of Governors Joint Action Plan requires that systems provide
sharing of operational data, location and availability of State and Federal military units; and eventually the ability to have a
common operating picture and common reporting system between State and Federal responders. In 2014 the Hawaii National
Guard conducted tests and exercises that validated the need for an Integrated Command and Control and Intelligence System
which includes the ability to achieve and share full situational awareness with the supporting Homeland Response Force (HRF)
Headquarters in California, the National Guard Bureau, adjacent states, and Federal Agencies. These conclusions and
recommendations parallel those of the 2014 ANG DOMOPS Conference. Existing or evolving Armed Services systems lack the
incorporated architecture that a modern “full spectrum” information age Command and Control response requires. The solution
must integrate military and civilian communications systems, legacy tabular data, and multiple geospatial data sets, including high
resolution orthographic and oblique geospatially tagged imagery into a real-time view of evolving events and crisis; augmented
with awareness technologies including – social media feeds, real-time detailed 3D models, unmanned aerial vehicle feeds and
ground level metric imagery. It must also be readily affordable in the context of National Guard and Reserve equipment funding and
will require overlapping operational testing, training and fielding steps.
