Integrated Common Analytical Viewer (iCAV)

The iCAV application is a secure, Web-based, geospatial visualization tool that integrates commercial and government-owned data and imagery from multiple sources. Using iCAV, homeland security partners can establish a comprehensive situational and strategic awareness across the nation and around the globe to better prepare, prevent, respond and recover from natural and man-made disasters.

With the iCAV application, users are able to selectively view and analyze infrastructure data in an electronic map to better understand the potential impact of a disaster on communities, as well as display the nearest response resources, such as hospitals, police and fire stations and evacuation routes.

iCAV can be used to deliver a managed User-Defined Operating Picture (UDOP) across all levels of government in support of incident management, infrastructure protection and threat-mapping activities.

Federal, state and local homeland security mission partners may access iCAV 24/7/365 from any Web-enabled computer with a Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) username and password.
