ABSTRACT
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is the national-level
producer of Geospatial Intelligence, serving both policy makers and
DoD elements. One core task of Geospatial Intelligence Analysts is to
develop intelligence through the exploitation of imagery (including
overhead, airborne, and video sources), with geospatial data and additional
intelligence sources supporting the analysis process. Currently there
is a gap between the exploitation and analysis capabilities of senior
analysts and incoming junior analysts. Some expert knowledge is not
well documented or "institutionalized," creating a barrier
to knowledge transfer either through classroom training or on-the-job
learning.
