GEOConnect Series Training: What Has GEOINT Ever Done for Me?

For over a century Janes has delivered open source intelligence on defense and security issues to national security and government clients/customers. While this started with technical information around military equipment and units, today it has expanded to include large amounts of geo-spatial intelligence on subjects as drivers defense installations, critical national infrastructure, military deployments, and terrorist attacks. We also deliver a wide range of OSINT training, including GEOINT training. This is unlike the GEOINT training delivered by others as it is focused on the operational and capability requirements of our clients/customers, and informed by our experience as ex-service personnel. Janes Open Source GEOINT support and training provides a different perspective on client/customer support and training that reflects a need for practical solutions. Understanding these dynamics provides lessons for other GEOINT organizations, in terms of tradecraft, process, and support relationships.

Training Goals:

1. Introduce and explain client/costumer challenges and limitations.

2. Outline and categorize responses to these.

3. Demonstrate and discuss client/customer support through case studies.

Prerequisites: • No prior experience is needed.
