| Summary / Abstract (Note) | It's been ten years since the 2004 National Defense Authorization Act was signed, officially coining the term 'GEOINT'. Today, GEOINT has become such a focus of national defence that the supply of analysts simply cannot meet the demand for imagery products. Almost every intelligence report requires, or could be enhanced by, some geospatial imagery component. As a result, geospatial intelligence software companies like ours have been hard at work developing full suites of integrated geospatial products capable of being used by any analyst, anywhere, at any time. Rather than transforming, through retraining, all-source analysts into geospatial experts, with the right tools, we can empower these talented and experienced all-source analysts to easily extract their own imagery to complete their intelligence products, freeing up the geospatial imagery experts to focus their attention on processing and exploiting more complex geospatial data. To do this, we set out to develop a lightweight, intuitive Web-based Electronic Light Table that would enable any all-source analyst to easily locate imagery, maps, vectors or text reports so they can build their daily intelligence reports or briefings. |
