DigitalGlobe’s New NavigatorLooking forward to his first Symposium, President and CEO Tarr voices excitement and commitment to the GEOINT industry and its mission.

At GEOINT 2011 Symposium, DigitalGlobe (Booth 337) will be introducing two new services, which will underscore its role as one of the leading players in the commercial remote sensing industry. But it will also in effect be making another impor-tant introduction to the geospatial intelligence in-dustry, of its new president and chief executive of-ficer.

Jeff Tarr, who joined the company in April from a different but adjacent industry, will be attending his first GEOINT Symposium this year in San An-tonio. In an interview shortly before the conference, he displayed enthusiasm and excitement about the field he has joined, combined with an eagerness to reach out to others attending the industry’s leading annual event.

“In a sense, I’m new to this industry, although I’m not new to the business of information, insight and intelligence,” said Tarr, who previously served as president and chief operating officer of IHS, a com-pany that among other things operates the Jane’s family of military information resources.

“What I see in this industry, of which Digital-Globe is a part, is really incredible. At the GEOINT 2011 Symposium, we’ll see 4,000 people coming

“Power of Place” Spurs Symposium growthEvent success comes at key time for the geospatial industry as location information becomes more available and important, says USGIF president.

Reflecting the continued growth and expansion in the

idea of “the power of place,” the numbers of attendees

and exhibitors at the GEOINT 2011 Symposium are ex-

pected to reach record levels for the U.S. Geospatial In-

telligence Foundation’s annual event, according to USGIF

President Keith Masback.

“I’m pretty confident based on our trending data that

we’re going to eclipse our all-time attendance record, set

last year. To put it in perspective, we had about 3,200

people here in San Antonio in 2009, and about 4,100 in

New Orleans last year. We’re looking to exceed that this

year,” Masback said in an interview shortly before the opening of the event, which gets

underway this morning with the Pre-Symposium Science & Technology Forum.

Noting that the number of exhibitors will reach 250 this year, compared with about

200 in 2009, and about 220 last year, Masback observed, “We are both excited and

humbled by this remarkable growth and the amount of interest and support in our

event.”

Along with indicators such as the number of applicants for scholarships and the

number of schools that are seeking accreditation to grant GEOINT Certificates, the

numbers for the Symposium are key metrics for measuring the success of USGIF, he

said. “If we’re seeing growth in exhibitors and attendees, that validates that we’re do-

ing something positive and valuable for the community. People vote ‘with their feet,’

their time and their dwindling resources to make our largest annual event one of their

priorities for the year.”

The growth of the event comes at a fascinating time for the geospatial indus-

try, as location information becomes more available and more important to everything

that goes on throughout the intelligence, defense, homeland security communities and

beyond. “The technology is matur-

ing quickly, and the training and

tradecraft that are at the heart of

USGIF’s mission are catching up to

the technology. The uses and ap-

plications of these technologies are

far-reaching and remarkable.

“The industry remains strong,

as does interest in every aspect

of it, from remote sensing to the

analysis and production of informa-

tion associated with that remotely

sensed data, whether from air-

borne, manned or unmanned, or

space platforms,” Masback contin-

ued. “The analysis and production

using that information, and all its uses to support intelligence operations,

are all very critical. Commanders and decision makers at every level are

not going to make decisions without this information. They’re expecting to

see it, and for it to be timely, accurate, relevant and available, when, how

and where they need it. That is sparking a lot of innovation and hard work

in the industry. That’s indicative of how strong this industry is and how

relevant it is to national security.”

Looking back at the progress of the industry over the past year, Mas-

back pointed in particular to the expanded work that has occurred on mo-

tion imagery standards. As the community has come together under the

leadership of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the Open

Geospatial Consortium, he said, these motion imagery standards for the

proliferation of sensors and platforms have provided a framework to make

it more useful.

“As these sensors and platforms were being developed, there was a

bit of a Wild West environment,” he recalled. “It was all well intentioned,

with people wanting to get great technology out into the field and into the

hands of people who could apply it in supporting national security. But

there needed to be standards to make all this information more readily

accessible and sharable. The standards are really now coming into their

own, as people recognize the critical nature of adopting those standards

and building to them.”

A second key development has been the continued strengthening of

understanding of the importance of information sharing. “Under the lead-

ership of Director of National Intelligence Clapper, the idea of a responsibil-

ity to share, versus the need to know, has become engrained,” Masback

observed. “We’ve made a lot of progress overall in the past year. It’s re-

flected in the theme of this year’s event, Forging Integrated Intelligence.

We are very proud of the role that geospatial intelligence plays as a mem-

ber of the intelligence team, both as a vertical intelligence stovepipe, along

with the other intelligence disciplines, and as a horizontal underlayment for

the integration of all intelligence and operations information.

“GEOINT provides the where, as part of the ‘where and when’ that

makes intelligence information valuable. It’s one of the organizing princi-

ples for integration. So it seemed natural for us, with this consistent focus

by the leadership on intelligence integration and sharing, that we would

support that with the idea of forging integrated intelligence,” he added.

A third trend has been the tremendous amount of innovation. “There

are a lot of uncertainties in this economy, and where we’re headed on de-

fense, intelligence and homeland security spending,” Masback acknowl-

edged. “But one thing that is certain is that these technologies are incred-

ibly relevant and in demand. That excitement and interest are sparking

tremendous innovation in the field, and we’re excited to feature that in

our Exhibit Hall this year.” He singled out the ongoing work in bringing

GEOINT data and information to handheld devices as a recent “game

changer” in the field.

Masback also voiced enthusiasm about the science and technol-

ogy forum being held today, which reflects the goal of including more

educational offerings at USGIF events. The forum, which is expected to

draw 300 or more participants, has its roots in the Tech Talks being held

again this year in the Exhibit Hall. “We had such a fantastic response to

the Tech Talks that we thought we could expand the offerings in the pre-

event symposium. We brought together our Technical Committee and

our academic folks, under the leadership of Dr. Max Baber, our director of

academic programs, and it really took on a life of its own,” Masback said.

The foundation president credited much of the success of the event

to the organization’s Planning Committee and volunteers. “We have a

small staff at USGIF, and we pull off a number of events and activities over

the course of the year. Our volunteers are critical to everything we do. It

is the perfect way to ensure that our offerings are relevant and important

to our stakeholders, because our ideas are germinated and cultivated by

volunteers who come from a broad cross section of our industry, govern-

ment and academic members.”

Masback concluded by urging Symposium participants to offer sug-

gestions for improving USGIF events in the future. “Every year, our goal

is to simply do better. So as I, our staff and our volunteer leaders are out

and about during the course of the week, I’d urge that if people have

ideas about things we could do to serve the community better, they stop

us and give us feedback, and also via the Web or comment cards. We’re

an educational foundation, and I like to believe that we’re also a learning

organization.

“We are in a continual process of learning how to serve the GEO-

INT Community in a better way, so I really solicit participant feedback,”

he said.

together who do amazing things. We capture information about our chang-ing planet globally, anytime and anywhere, and deliver it to the people who need it, anytime and anywhere, and in the process save lives and make the world a safer place. That is something to be very proud of.

“The theme of this year’s event, Forging Integrated Intelligence, has so many meanings. One of the meanings that speaks to me as a newcomer to this industry is that those 4,000 people, who come from a large number or orga-nizations, have a history of working together to face technical challenges, and in the process have a huge impact on the world. I think about how the company I lead is connected with so many organizations participating in the Symposium. More than 130 of our part-ners are exhibiting at GEOINT this year, and more than 20 of our partners are showcasing our imagery at their booths in the Exhibit Hall. To me, that’s indicative of a web of relationships that creates something really incredible.

“First and foremost, it’s about our customers at the show. We look at every opportunity to interact with our customers as an opportunity to learn, and in the process better meet their needs. That’s goal number one for us—the interaction that will occur in multiple places, whether on the exhibit floor, in the breaks between the speeches and panels, and the evening ac-tivities. Every one of these is an opportunity for us to spend time with our customers to get to know them better and get a better understanding of their needs, what we’re doing well and what we can do better and differently.

“Goal number two is to forge relationships with other companies and organizations attending the event, many of whom are partners or potential future partners. It’s through these partnerships and relationships that we’re able to deliver more value to our customers. One of the things that’s incred-ible about this particular group of people is that when we’re talking about meeting the needs of our customers, we’re actually talking about saving lives. That is an honor, a privilege and a responsibility. So I’m excited about the opportunity that represents.

“The third is to expose as many people as we can to our new capabilities, because by exposing people to our new capabilities, we then can provide a greater and better service to our customers. First, our customers may see something they can put to use in their own missions, and they may have ideas for us to make our offerings better and more useful. The same is true

for current and potential business partners. By seeing what it is that we are doing with imagery to create intelligence, they may have new ideas for how we can work together to better meet our customers’ needs, so our customers in turn can complete their missions,” Tarr said.

The two new services being unveiled by DigitalGlobe at GEOINT are DigitalGlobe FirstWatch and the Diplomatic Facilities Support Package.

FirstWatch is a rapid analysis and reporting service designed to help us-ers more quickly assess and formulate response strategies following natural and man-made disasters. When a crisis event occurs, DigitalGlobe begins collecting new imagery from the affected region. Experts in the DigitalGlobe Analysis Center rapidly analyze the new imagery, publishing a comprehen-sive DigitalGlobe FirstWatch report within hours after the event occurs.

Reports include a wide range of information to assist humanitarian relief personnel assess the scope and magnitude of the event and start formulating the most effective response plan. They identify key details on the ground, in-cluding evidence of structural damage, infrastructure failures, changes to to-pography, flood water depth and other potentially life-threatening elements.

The Diplomatic Facilities Support Package was developed and launched in partnership wth CACI International. The package is a first-of-its-kind solution, specifically designed to help governments more quickly and effec-tively respond to threats to diplomatic facilities and citizens abroad.

It dynamically combines DigitalGlobe’s sub-meter resolution imagery with CACI’s geospatial feature content to provide users with a current view of geographical landscapes, structures, routes and roadways, and critical resources. Additionally, it provides virtual whiteboards and comprehensive annotation tools, allowing users to layer additional data on top of existing content and customize information, then share their whiteboards securely with other users of the service.

“While imagery is a critical component of both these offerings, they both are about providing insight and intelligence, and to help keep people and facilities safe and secure. It’s less about the imagery, although imagery is core to it, and all about the end result and the contribution to the mission,” Tarr said.

Tarr closed with an observation that emphasized his personal commit-ment to the work of his new field of endeavor: “When we’re talking about the integrated theme, one of the first meanings that comes to mind may be the importance of integrating multiple sources of information. But there’s a second order as well that really speaks to me, which is about how we in the room all work together for common goals—keeping people safe, keeping warfighters safe and supporting first responders.”

Focus on Science and technologyPre-Symposium Forum seeks to bring the broader geospatial community into the GEOINT conversation.

The GEOINT 2011 Pre-Symposium Sci-

ence and Technology Forum gets underway

this morning with a day-long program of

panels and speakers designed to create an

opportunity to bring the broader geospatial

community into the GEOINT conversation,

as participants discuss innovations in sci-

ence and technology that are advancing the

discipline.

The forum begins at 9 a.m. in the Texas

Ballroom of the Grand Hyatt with an intro-

duction by Dr. R. Maxwell Baber, U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation

director of academic programs, and a keynote address by Dr. Greg Smith,

chief scientist and deputy director, InnoVision, National Geospatial-Intelli-

gence Agency.

USGIF decided to create the forum, which is being held in its current

form for the first time this year, in order to expand the leadership and policy

focus of the Symposium to include more people focused specifically on

developing geospatial tools and tradecraft, Baber explained in a recent

interview.

“At the GEOINT Symposium, we have some of the great leaders in

national security, who come in and share their vision for where we are

and where we need to be going,” Baber said. “Geospatial intelligence is a

very challenging field, and it’s become a critically important digital founda-

tion for how government and national security organizations manage their

operations. It’s important to the warfighter, but it’s also important for a dis-

parate array of challenges including natural disaster response, monitoring

of humanitarian crises and evaluating ongoing environmental changes at

regional and global scales.

“The main event focuses on leadership and policy issues, with break-

out sessions on science and technology,” he continued. “The focus of the

Pre-Symposium Forum is on advancing the GEOINT tradecraft by giving

innovators and practitioners a forum to drive forward the evolution of our

discipline. The principal focus is on the use of geospatial science and tech-

nology for national security, but we are also engaging civilian perspectives

from government, industry and academia regarding common challenges.

“It’s an attempt to broaden the audience for the Symposium, and so

is an exciting new opportunity for us. Going forward, this is going to be a

very important opportunity for the GEOINT community to get together and

talk about specific ways of advancing the discipline across the breadth of

science and technology,” Baber said.

With a total of 10 workshops and lunch events, the forum will cover a

wide range of topics, including socio-cultural dynamics, mobile GEOINT,

“big data,” multi-INT fusion, GEOINT professional development, space-

time analytics and full motion video. (Details on specific sessions are avail-

able in the daily schedule beginning on page 12.)

Baber added that along with the Pre-Symposium Forum, USGIF is

working on an annual monograph series devoted to specific topics in the

field. “Each year, we’ll listen to leadership at the GEOINT Symposium,

identify a topic that needs focused attention, and then gather a collection

of government, industry and academic voices to share perspectives on a

technical issue within the science,” he explained.

The first monograph, tentatively entitled “Challenges of Socio-Cultural

Dynamics for Global Security,” is being edited by Chris Tucker and Robert

Tomes, two noted experts in the field of human geography. It is expected

to be published, primarily in electronic form, this coming winter.

Following are comments about their sessions and topics from a se-

lection of moderators and presenters who will be appearing at the Pre-

Symposium Forum.

Most people don’t understand that there is a difference between all-

source and multi-INT. When you talk about all-source, you’re referring to

the way that an analyst, say at the CIA, synthesizes information. He takes

reports from various intelligence sources—human, imagery, the open lit-

erature or others—and looks for common trends and ideas. He says, ‘I

think that the linkage between this idea and trend and another idea and

trend is that something is happening,’ and that’s the new piece of informa-

tion. He may look at a financial report and then at the news media, and

see that a major player in the industry is taking his family and moving to

another country—that’s an indication that something may be going awry

with the financial markets. That’s what all-source is—taking information

from various sources and synthesizing it in your mind.

That’s easy to do when the number of your sources is limited and

your agenda for information generation is limited. But it’s very difficult to do

when the number of sources approaches infinity, which is what’s happen-

ing today, with the open source news media, the sensors that are being

involved and the applications associated with them. There is more infor-

mation than an analyst can reasonably be expected to synthesize through

his reports.

The way to make it easier is to take aspects of data and information

that naturally relate to one another and put them together before you in-

volve an analyst in the process. For example, if I look at a full color picture

of a field with tanks in it, and a thermal picture of the same field, some of

the tanks look hot and some don’t. So I know which ones are on, and

which ones are potentially not real. That is information that can be taken

in an automated fashion and provided to an analyst directly, before they

ever touch it. The more sources of data that lend themselves to direct

automation together, the easier it is to provide products that have mean-

ing to the users.

The question is how much automation, and how many types of ob-

servables—things that you can see in data—can you gather together

Dr. Max Baber

practically and get a product. That’s what we’re after in the panel—to

understand what types of observations we’re making now, such as tem-

perature, color, mass or material, that you can look at with a remote sen-

sor or close up, and put together to provide direct information that the

analyst can see.

There are two major advantages. One, it’s coming a lot faster, because

the information is coming directly from the computer to you as a product,

as opposed to you making your own observations, which takes time in

both reporting and mental analysis. Multi-INT can also be more reliable if

you ask the problems in the right way. If you have 150 objects to survey,

but through automation sift down to looking at only three of them, then the

analyst can use his unique ability, which is the ability to think about it, to do

something useful. He’s only looking at what could be interesting.

What you want to do is to take the many streams of data that are

provided and synthesize them into small quantities of real potential infor-

mation, and then let the human get involved at that point.

One of the problems that I and others in the educational community

have experienced is in understanding where the discipline of geospatial

intelligence is going. Often, we in education are reactive rather than pro-

active, which puts us at a significant disadvantage, and the discipline at

a loss, because it takes roughly two to four years or more to identify the

need for a course, find faculty and get up on line with students. What we

find is that in the area of remotely piloted vehicles or full motion video, for

example, is that we’re trying to react to an emerging educational need in

the community.

The session revolves around a presentation by Richard G. Johnson

of Booz Allen Hamilton, who is going to look at the vision for GEOINT 4.0,

which plays off the theme from last year’s symposium, GEOINT 3.0. The

intent is to lay the groundwork for the vision of where GEOINT is going and

then turn to the panelists, who represent the student, training, educational

and mentor perspectives. They will react to Johnson’s vision for GEOINT

4.0, which will hopefully enable us to be more proactive about where dis-

cipline is going, in terms of technology, organization and other aspects.

I’m excited about the session, because we’ve been reactive for years,

and this may give us a chance to be more proactive in the professional

development community, and try to get ahead of that two to four year lead

time for identifying and building a course. We need to think in the future

context, which we have not done well at all.

What we’re looking at is really the tradecraft of the analytics and the

analysis used in looking at full motion video as it’s streaming in. My com-

pany has a government off-the-shelf product that is widely used, GV3.0,

which helps the end-user be able to visualize the full motion video, look

at the metadata associated with it, and be able to do analysis and add

value back in.

From my perspective, I’ll be discussing some tools, techniques and

software that we’ve been involved in developing that support that. I’ll be

looking at the full motion video aspect of things, and the rest of the panel

will be looking at how that latches up with some of the wide area surveil-

lance information that’s coming in, and how you put the two together for

analysis.

Our company has built some lightweight products and apps that

readily allow the sophisticated analyst, who works quite a bit with and is

familiar with full motion video, to visualize and display the data, look at the

meta-information, and put up the graphics and correlated information that

goes with it. But we also can support the novice user in much the same

way, so that that person can also take full motion video and go all the way

from something as simple as situational awareness to something more

sophisticated as far as making decisions.

What we have developed is some government off-the-shelf products

that are readily available, don’t cost the customer anything and can be

easily downloaded and used, to the point where we also now have a com-

mercial software development kit that some vendors are integrating with

their software, whether in the GIS world or the raster imagery world. It

allows them to expand out and pull in full motion video.

What folks don’t realize is that video is much more than the actual

video—more than YouTube. It really involves being able to bring in the

correlated meta-information and put it in at the right places in the video.

People and technology: new Sensing Paradigm for Geospatial data Collection and integrationDr. Anthony Stefanidis

Director

Center for Geospatial-Intelligence

George Mason University

The challenge that we’re trying to address is that geospatial collection

is changing. With the technology advances, we see that everybody is able

to contribute geospatial information, and we realize that we need this infor-

mation, because the information we are seeking is much more dynamic.

You could make the argument that we can’t rely on the traditional model

of agencies collecting data periodically to meet our needs, because our

needs are changing and evolving.

We’re going to be discussing topics such as the current state of prac-

tice in the use of crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information

(VGI) to supplement agency data sets. We know that those data sets are

reliable, but they’re not always up to date. How do crowdsourcing and VGI

help complement that? Also, are there emerging trends in technology that

will affect this in the future? What do we see that could have a significant

impact in the near future?

We’ll also be asking the panel about the need for quality control, be-

cause we can have an abundance of information but also an abundance

of non-reliable information. How do we handle that? We may have situa-

tions that require rapid response. How do we ensure that the information

that we collect in this way is reliable?

We’re seeing more of it every day, because people are becoming sen-

sors. What you do in your daily life may be contributing information on

purpose that is geospatial in nature—perhaps driving by a traffic jam and

reporting it. But people may also be contributing without knowing that

they’re doing it. In the recent Arab Spring, for example, we had people

going on social media and providing information about events that were

happening. So we had a unique opportunity to collect information that

was not contributed for that purpose, but was geospatial in nature. How

do we harvest this information to enhance our capabilities? All the ex-

isting rules you have that say you have to have certain metadata and a

certain scale—they are all out the window. But it’s still extremely valuable

information. How do we harvest this information and integrate it with the

authoritative data sets that agencies collect? That’s one of the most dra-

matic challenges.

big data: the engine for future Geoint AnalyticsDavid Crandall

Principal

Booz Allen Hamilton

Big data is important because it has really transformed the Internet

over the past 10 years, beginning with Google, which you might say in-

vented the concept. As the open source community has leveraged things

that Google invented, in the form of a software program called HADOOP,

other large Internet players have started using it. Companies like Face-

book, Twitter and Amazon use HADOOP to process large amounts of

data and extract information from data that no one could have before. It’s

important that this technology find its way into the federal government. It’s

had some use in the intelligence community, but very limited. The next big

step is when it comes into GEOINT. My focus is on intelligence, because

that’s where my background is, but it has a place in all of the government

for processing GEOINT data.

I think that the important part of Big Data is that it enables you to run

analytics on all your data, and on a heterogeneous set of data. Where

typically we would store specialized kinds of data on large relational da-

tabases, and analysts would have to cull through it to get answers, with

Big Data you can use heterogeneous types of data. You can inform your

GEOINT data with other unstructured intelligence data, so it really gets at

the NGA’s vision for advanced analytics. It takes them beyond looking at

imagery, but puts them in the middle of an intelligence problem and allows

them to use imagery to augment the intelligence problem, rather than just

looking at imagery. Rather than just processing imagery and analyzing it,

it gets into the predictive analytics that Director Long talked about, where

you can use data generated by the intelligence community in combination

with GEOINT to find out new information and add to the richness of what’s

already there.

GIS Data With or Without ConnectivitySAIC announces new software solution.

Science Applications International Corporation (Booth 401) has released details on GeoRover Mobile, a new soft-ware solution enabling the collection of geographic information system data in the field with or without network con-nectivity, in addition to traditional func-tionalities. The GeoRover Mobile solution can be used to collect and edit field data for use by environmental, utility, law en-forcement, education, land management, forestry, and government and defense ap-plications.

The application is a program that re-sides on mobile devices (phones or tablets) that operate using the Android platform and integrates available global position-ing system (GPS) and Wi-Fi networks to provide current location data and other information. The application enables users to create waypoints, track logs and routes when connected to an internal or external GPS, including Bluetooth, to obtain real-time connection.

The software solution is comprised of

the GeoRover Mobile Desktop extension for the Esri ArcGIS desktop application and the Mobile application for Android devices. Using a unique Map-Pack pro-cess, the SAIC GeoRover Mobile solution can create maps packaged with other lay-ers to quickly share information between desktop and mobile software applications. The toolbar allows users to easily import and export points, lines and polygons from new or existing feature layers and base maps from raster datasets. Users can also link photos, including geotagged pho-tos, or voice recordings to features within the mapping application.

“We are pleased to provide customers with mobile GIS solutions for the An-droid platform, delivering the ability to vi-sualize map content while collecting data even in the most remote locations,” said John Thomas, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. “This new technology demonstrates SAIC’s abil-ity to offer cutting edge mobile solutions helping solve difficult problems.”

Managing the DataGeosemble Technologies’ tools increase information correlation.

Seen publicly at GEOINT for one of the first times, Geosemble Technologies (Booth 103) is detailing the newest release of its GeoXray software suite, featuring the underlying PlaceGenius technology for de-livering knowledge about places from all over the world. Users can now benefit from a powerful set of tools and features designed to deliver deep location knowledge from vast sources while reducing personnel cost and shrinking the cycle time to reach in-formed decisions.

“We are extremely pleased to be deliver-ing this new capability to our customers,” said Andre Doumitt, Geosemble CEO. “It’s our goal to make our users smarter about places much earlier in the decision process, so they can capitalize on opportunities and avoid threats in their geographic areas of in-terest,” he said.

As an underlying technology compo-nent in the company’s GeoXray software suite, PlaceGenius plays an important role by applying patented, and patent-pending

term-frequency, text-matching technology as part of a dual-cor-relation process that extracts, processes and correlates information about places. Place-Genius integrates in-coming unstructured text from internet and proprietary sources and associates it with an enhanced geographic knowledge base which GeoXray then displays in its own user-friendly interface, or via an API for consumption in other programs.

Ultimately, the benefit for users is that GeoXray delivers access to vast amounts of content filtered down to a manageable vol-ume through a simple user interface where users can see and understand information about places.

According to the company, the release of GeoXray version 2.7 has added the ability

to tap the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s public web service to get geograph-ic information about places that can then be linked to news, blogs and other social me-dia; the ability to set up custom alerts fil-tered for a user’s topics of interest in a given location and delivered to a desktop or mo-bile device; and the a “content view” mode that is map-optional and delivers content about a user’s pre-selected area in a “what’s happening here today” mode; as well as a host of other features.

Human Geography TechnologyBoeing showcases advances across the GIS spectrum

Focusing on its new human geography tech-nology, The Boeing Company (Booth 313) is highlighting this new innovation at this year’s GEOINT.

“The Boeing human geography solution provides community data in categories such as political ideology, ethnicity, cultural habits, lan-guage, education and health care—and how these have contributed to the intelligence picture,” said Dewey Houck, Intelligence Systems Group vice president. “It offers historical trends and patterns to help give the analyst a holistic understanding of nations and regions by broadening and deepening their analytic expertise.”

Another focal point of Boeing’s booth this year is TAC, an analytical tool that enables real-time collaborative analysis through the persistent querying of streaming and stored data, giving users immediate access to data relevant to their topic of interest.

The company’s 3-D ladar, a mapping capability that uses laser light technology to produce a precise 3-D image of the terrain will also be on display. The laser radar, or ladar, weighs less than 20 pounds, en-abling multi-platform use and supporting a variety of surveillance and sensing applications.

Highlighting its synthetic aperture radar im-age analysis tool, SAR Agility, Boeing will focus on its ability to draw on the power of mass-market graphic processing units to provide real-time pro-cessing and user interaction, resulting in fast and comprehensive extraction of actionable informa-tion from complex SAR imagery.

Boeing also will showcase its comprehensive, web-based GEOINT source-discovery solution. This solution allows online, on-demand access to search across internal and external data sources, as well as different classification levels, using Boeing eXMeritus HardwareWall and a variety of industry standard protocols and messaging formats.
