Geospatial Intelligence

Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) is pivotal in linking geography to events and helping us gain insight into what is happening, where it's happening, and why it's happening. GEOINT is derived from the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information about features and events, with reference to space and time. This course serves as an introduction to the fundamentals of the geospatial intelligence community, core GEOINT technologies and operations, and the role of GEOINT in national, regional and local security affairs. This course is built on a framework of data, technology, and analysis in support of the GEOINT community, which may include natural disasters, first responders, military personnel, homeland defense, and law enforcement.
