DHS IDM Plan Development
• December 2004 - DHS assigned responsibility for domestic
Space-based PNT IDM planning and coordination
• June 2005 – DHS began Space-Based PNT IDM Plan
development starting with existing processes in place for GPS
outage reporting, tracking and resolution
• June 2006 – Space-Based PNT IDM Plan coordinated with the U.
S. PNT Executive Committee
• August 2007 – Space-Based PNT IDM Plan approved/signed by
the U. S. President

DHS IDM Responsibilities
• Coordinate domestic capabilities to identify, analyze, locate,
attribute, and mitigate sources of interference to the GPS and its
augmentations
• Develop and maintain capabilities, procedures and techniques, and
routinely exercise civil contingency responses to ensure continuity
of operations in the event that access to GPS signal is disrupted or
denied.
• Collect, analyze, store, and disseminate interference reports from
all sources to enable appropriate investigation, notification and
enforcement action

Summary• Identification of central data repository requirements complete
• The FAA SETS GUI will reflect PNT preferences
• DHS will continue to evaluate iCAV as the lead geospatial
analysis tool
• Continue prototype evaluation & transition to operational test
early 2009
• Establish central repository 2009 with TRIAD and slowly
migrate other federal agencies for use
• Eventually include international incident reports
