The nationwide Geospatial-Intelligence corporation (NGA) presents geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) to help nationwide protection, either as a countrywide intelligence and a wrestle help business enterprise. within the post-9/11 international, the necessity for quicker and extra actual geospatial intelligence is expanding. GEOINT makes use of imagery and geospatial facts and data to supply wisdom for making plans, judgements, and motion. for instance, information from satellites, pilotless airplane and flooring sensors are built-in with maps and different intelligence information to supply place details on a possible goal. This record defines 12 not easy difficulties in geospatial technology that NGA needs to unravel so as to evolve their functions to fulfill destiny wishes. the various not easy study difficulties are on the topic of integration of information gathered from an ever-growing number of sensors and non-spatial facts assets, and research of spatial info amassed in the course of a series of time (spatio-temporal data). The record additionally indicates promising techniques in geospatial technological know-how and comparable disciplines for assembly those demanding situations. the result of this examine are meant to aid NGA prioritize geospatial technological know-how learn instructions.

Exploiting all forms of imagery, in the context of persistent surveillance, including the following challenges (3-6): 3. Detecting weapons of mass destruction; 4. Tracking moving targets; 5. Thwarting denial and deception; and 6. Targeting precisely; 7. Compressing time lines (for preparation and dissemination of intelligence); 8. Sharing with (coalition) forces, foreign partners, and communities at large; 9. Supporting homeland security; and 10. ” The immediacy of these challenges requires a research agenda that simultaneously addresses these short-term needs, while it pursues the evolution to a next-generation methodology for dealing with geospatial intelligence, GEOINT2.
Multisource information does not easily resolve into layers; consequently, this information fits poorly with the existing GIS approach. For example, sensor webs provide data in real time that are spatially and temporally discontinuous and asynchronous, and often point-based. Human and signals intelligence may be in the form of textual reports with place name and other references. Data may also arrive as video, audio, web-based extensible markup language (XML), or any of a plethora of other media formats.
