Join us for an event with GEOINT community leaders to learn how geospatial data can be leveraged to enhance operational analysis. USGIF Mission Focus events provide informative discussion and insights into a specific topic of interest to the GEOINT community and offer the opportunity to network and connect with other professionals in the field. Stay tuned for speaker announcements!

Observe, Orient, Decide, Act: John Boyd’s classic “OODA” loop concept holds that in conflict, whichever party can "get inside" the opponent's decision cycle timeline can gain the advantage. The timely delivery of GEOINT analytic products to the point of need is a key element of decision advantage. Join us as we examine how the community is finding innovative ways to automate significant portions of imagery exploitation and re...

USGIF kicks off a series focused on the GEOINT equities of the U.S. military forces with a day of programming dedicated to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. This day of keynotes and panel discussions is sure to inform participants from around the force about how GEOINT matters to them. It also affords the opportunity for participants from USAF and USSF to share insights with GEOINT partners who are working to ensure the nation’s...

USGIF continues its 2021 series of programs focused on the GEOINT equities of the U.S. military forces with a day of virtual programming dedicated to the U.S. Army. This day of keynotes and panel discussions is sure to inform participants from around the force about how GEOINT matters to them. It also affords the opportunity for participants from Army programs to share insights with GEOINT partners who are working to ensure the nation’s...

During times of crisis, the Defense Department can be called upon to support U.S. civil authorities. In those cases, a lead federal agency works alongside state, local, territorial, or tribal organizations as responses to natural or human-made emergencies or disasters evolve. In such situations, the key features of GIS’s are critical enablers, allowing for integration of disparate datasets, the conduct of analysis, and dissemination of a...

We will discuss how to securely and resiliently deliver the compute/storage and exploitation at the edge.

Analytic Modeling is an approach for capturing mission knowledge relating evidence and indicators to the answers to Key Intelligence Questions. With the NGA Director’s Moonshot outlining the need to raise the operational pace of the workforce—and our nation’s pivot back to focusing on the super-powers—comes the potential to revisit the purpose of Analytic Modeling. This session will cover the evolution of Analytic Model...

It’s a perennial problem: the transition of innovative, small-scale projects into full-scale, funded programs is often referred to as “crossing the Valley of Death.” Myriad challenges such as tight budgets, narrow risk margins, complexities of integrating into legacy architectures and contracts, and user hesitation exist. This panel of experts will share their experiences with projects that have successfully crossed into oper...
