In the third session of the three-part series, attendees will learn how to improve acquisition outcomes through informed partnership with government clients. In the first module, we discussed the importance of sound and open communication throughout the acquisition cycle, with specific focus on developing strategies for overcoming barriers to effective communication in the pre-solicitation phase of the acquisition cycle. In the second module,...

As the GEOINT profession and the private sector have matured, new collection mechanisms such as microtasking via mobile phone apps, crowdsourcing portals, social media OSINT collectors and others provide usable data - but at the cost of anonymity, security, and speed. The Internet of Things (IOT) and databases listing these devices and their locations allow for an unprecedented level of access to real-time terrestrial imagery. This underutili...

With the recent launch of its GeoFutures Initiative Strategic Roadmap, the St. Louis geospatial ecosystem has laid out its vision for becoming the global center for geospatial excellence. The panel will examine how St. Louis’ entrepreneurial ecosystem is working to attract new GEOINT talent to St. Louis and develop the workforce to meet its growing needs, as well as align its tech incubators and academic institutions to foster innovation.

In this presentation, Kongsberg Geospatial and Vricon, a Maxar Company, will demonstrate how high-resolution terrain data and real-time visualization tools can be used to effectively visualize geospatial intelligence derived from ISR data. The presentation will include examples of the use of very high-resolution 3D digital surface model (DSM) and terrain data, as well as an explanation of how the data is derived and processed. The webinar will...

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 delive...
