This system, known collectively as SIMS, is made up of three critical components: (1) data collection; (2) data analysis and product generation; and (3) product dissemination. Components (1) and (2) are essentially complete, with only minor modifications, updates and troubleshooting required on a non-routine basis to maintain the system for daily operations. Thus far, however, the priority in SIMS has been imagery and imagery-derived produ
