GEOINT to go

摘要

On the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) app store, users can empower their handheld devices to warn against hostile maritime events, access geotagged text and photos for situational awareness, tap into aeronautical charts, and stream video in real time. Every day, planners are finding new ways to bring vital geospatial data down to mobile devices at the tactical level. Still, tactical mobility is far from being a done deal when it comes to GEOINT. Despite the plethora of apps already available, technology gurus at NGA, as well as leaders in satellite data on the commercial side, agree there is much work to be done. But the results, if successful, could be substantial.
