Overview
Imagery intelligence. Elevation data. Vector and infrared maps. Geospatial intelligence specialists use a range of tools and resources to identify and assess information about a physical location, its features, and any related human activity. This information allows leaders to make critical decisions.
Geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, influences policy, military, diplomatic, environmental, and disaster recovery operations at every level of government. With roots in the armed forces, GEOINT today benefits many commercial and nonprofit organizations: agriculture, energy, automotive, real estate, travel, meteorological, and first-responders, to name a few.
With the power of geospatial intelligence to see what others cannot, careers in the field are rising in demand.
