The Imagery Basemap uses custom tools to create and populate a mosaic dataset with National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Controlled Image Base (CIB) and lower resolution data. That mosaic dataset can then be published as a cached image service and used as a basemap for desktop, mobile, and web applications.
Each basemap is provided as an ArcMap document organized around the ArcGIS Online/Bing Maps/Google Maps tiling scheme. The data frame in each map document is reprojected to the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere Projection, but the source data is maintained in its local projection.
The Imagery Basemap requires specific technical experience, software, and data. Minimum system requirements for the ArcGIS Platform can be found on the Support website.
Imagery Basemap is supported on ArcGIS 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.
