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.  

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. iCAV is also integrated with the Constellation/Automated Critical Asset Management System (C/ACAMS) allowing state and local first responders to map their own data.

The iCAV system uses the Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) Gold dataset that contains information from the 18 critical infrastructure and key resource (CIKR) sectors. HSIP Gold data may be requested through the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Working Group.
