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 and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) bring you the third annual Innovative Tradecraft Competition, an opportunity for USGIF and OGC members to demonstrate innovative GEOINT solutions addressing mission problems through visualization, discovering needles in needle stacks, data sharing, and interoperability. This year, we’d like to see how our community might tackle seemingly intractable problems leveraging GEOINT. Solving proble...

Renewed focus on great power competition is an opportunity for the GEOINT community to leverage new technologies to outpace U.S. adversaries. The nation and the geospatial intelligence community are at an inflection point, necessitating a revolution in GEOINT capabilities, the IT architectures that support them, and the organizational cultures and practices to transform at the speed needed to maintain GEOINT dominance. During this event, we...
