Geographic Names
GEOINT Analysis.
The science of extracting meaning from geospatial data and using Geographic
Geospatial Analysis Information Systems (GIS) to uncover and investigate
relationships and patterns in all forms of geospatial data to
answer intel/military issues.
Imagery
Three major elements of GEOINT: Imagery Intelligence
Geospatial Information
The study and use of sensor technology, literal and non-literal,
Sensor Phenomenology which allows discovery, observation, and characterization of
natural occurring and measurable occurrences (spatial, spectral,
radiometric and temporal).
Geospatial data-derived products can determine precise
Navigation safety and GEOINT geographic coordinates and other measurements of objects and
features in denied areas more accurately, rapidly, and
effectively than is possible by other means.
, Foundational Analysis - Characterizing general patterns of
people and groups within the context of their environment
Two perspectives of Human - AND -
Geography: Mission Specific Analysis - Addressing specific questions or
hypothesis with the goal of answering a specific intel question
The study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with their
Human Geography environment, with particular attention to the causes and
consequences of the spatial distribution of human activity.
A map provides information on the existence of, the location of,
and the distance between ground features such as populated
The use of cartography in GEOINT places and routes of travel and
communication. It also indicates variations in terrain, heights of
natural features, and the extent of vegetation cover. Mission
planning and analysis become more
thorough with the addition of cartographic information.
The Global Positioning System is the only fully operational
system that allows users to determine their exact position
Global Positioning System (GPS)
on or above the Earth
anytime, in any weather, anywhere. The precise locational
information provided by the GPS is critical to safety of
navigation for air, land, sea and space.
1) Define the Environment - Gather facts needed to outline exact loc.
2) Describe Environment's Influence - Provide descriptive info
GEOINT Preparation of the about area defined in Step 1.
Environment (GPE) (process) 3) Evaluate Threats/Hazards - Add intel/threat data from
multiple INTs to step 1/2 layers
4) Develop Analytical Conclusions - Integrate all info from steps 1-3.
Gathering of information about an object by means of a sensor at
Remote Sensing
some distance from that object.

A likeness or presentation of any natural, man-made feature,
related object or activity and the positional data acquired at the
Imagery same time the likeness or
