SEC. 1072. ASSESSMENT OF REQUIREMENTS FOR AND MANAGEMENT OF ARMY THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEOSPATIAL DATA. (a) Joint Assessments and Determinations.—The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with other appropriate officials of the Department of Defense, shall jointly carry out each of the following: (1) An assessment of the requirements of the joint force with respect to three-dimensional geospatial data in order to achieve Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control, including the use of such data for each of the following: (A) Training. (B) Planning. (C) Modeling and simulation. (D) Mission rehearsal. (E) Operations. (F) Intelligence, including geolocation support to intelligence collection systems. (G) Dynamic and precision targeting. (H) After action reviews. (2) A determination of whether three-dimensional geospatial data derived from Government sources, commercial sources, or both (referred to as “derivative three-dimensional geospatial data”) meets the accuracy, resolution, community sensor model compliance, and currency required for precision targeting. (3) A determination of the optimum management, joint funding structure, and resources required for the collection, tasking, acquisition, production, storage, and consumption of three-dimensional geospatial data, including a consideration of— (A) designating the Army as the Executive Agent for warfighter collection, production, and consumption of three-dimensional geospatial content at the point-of-need; (B) designating the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, in its role as the Geospatial Intelligence Functional Manager, as the Executive Agent for quality assessment, testing, evaluation, validation, and enterprise storage and retrieval of derivative three-dimensional geospatial data; (C) existing governance structures across the Department of Defense and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency for the procurement and production of three-dimensional geospatial data and the development of tools and plans, from either commercial or Government sources; and (D) identifying potential commercial and Government capabilities that could be established as a three-dimensional geospatial intelligence program of record. (b) Army Management Considerations.—If the Vice Chairman, the Under Secretary, and the Secretary of the Army determine that the Army should serve as the Executive Agent for Department of Defense three-dimensional geospatial data, the Secretary shall determine the respective roles within the Army. (c) Additional Army Determinations.—The Secretary of the Army shall determine whether operational use of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System and Army intelligence and mission command systems require three-dimensional geospatial data for assigned operational missions, including targeting. (d) Briefing Required.—Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Vice Chairman, the Under Secretary, and the Secretary of the Army shall complete the assessments and determinations required by this section and provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on such assessments and determinations.
