Geospatial Intelligence

Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) refers to the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic information to support decision-making and operational planning. It involves the integration of various data sources, including satellite imagery, maps, and geospatial data, to provide insights about physical features and human activities on the Earth’s surface. GEOINT is commonly used in fields such as national security, disaster response, urban planning, and environmental monitoring, where understanding spatial relationships and geographic context is crucial. The discipline combines technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and cartography to create detailed visual representations and analytical models that inform strategic decisions.
