Our storage portfolio includes high-end, midrange and entry-level solutions designed for block and file workloads including virtualized and automated infrastructures. Many of these solutions can also consolidate databases and apps with general purpose file to simplify operations. We will discuss the features of each platform and the relevant use cases. Lastly, we will address challenges around managing and using structured and unstructured dat...

For over a century Janes has delivered open source intelligence on defense and security issues to national security and government clients/customers. While this started with technical information around military equipment and units, today it has expanded to include large amounts of geo-spatial intelligence on subjects as drivers defense installations, critical national infrastructure, military deployments, and terrorist attacks. We also delive...

This panel will focus on GEOINT dissemination and collaboration as it relates to operational challenges. Panel members will discuss the challenges of delivering and receiving actionable intelligence from platforms to tactical operators. Dissemination focuses on the sending of imagery and we are in an age where sensors are everywhere (at the tactical level and strategic level) and the need for access is much more synchronous. This group will ex...

The panel will examine the future of targeting from a GEOINT perspective, specifically the role of 3D content. Panel members will explore what future targeting means when a suite of augmented reality and accurate 3D data supports cross-functional teams. They also will assess the role of 3D data in making the "sensor to shooter" vision a reality. The panel's discussion will describe the shape of future targeting and identify emerging technologi...

Please join members of GEOINT community to discuss the GeoFuture of the St. Louis region. Members of the GeoFutures Initiative team along with esteemed community colleagues will discuss the mission enhancing intersection of geospatial technology and the defense sector. We look forward to engaging with you on this topic that applies to the entirety of the global GEOINT community.

Within a matter of a few weeks our workforce changed. Where they work, how they work, how they access data, and how to collaborate. While the cloud and digital transformation created fissures in the foundation of IT security, COVID-19 and the unmanaged security risks of the home work environment cracked it open. Virtually overnight, the Intelligence Agencies have had to secure data and devices outside of a closed environment. What does the fut...

USGIF continues its mission to bring thought leadership, cutting edge technological presentations, key insight for decision making, and educational and professional development opportunities to the entire geospatial intelligence, trade and academic community. The GEOConnect Series is an accelerated outcome from USGIF’s strategic plan to go digital. The GEOConnect Series will feature multi-session virtual events such as live-streamed or r...

The continuing decline in funds for government agencies poses a great challenge to these agencies to finance their new missions or maintain existing ones. With funds drying out, many agencies are looking for creative ways to move forward with their projects. We believe that our client resilience is an important part of our existence and our business growth, so we got our hands dirty looking for creative ways to enable our clients to achieve th...

USGIF and OGC are pleased to announce the final round of the GEOINT 2020 Innovative Tradecraft Competition on the USGIF GEOConnect Main Stage. During this final leg of the competition, you’ll see some of the best practices in data discovery and alignment addressing mission problems through visualization, discovering needles in needle stacks, data sharing, and interoperability. While we were not able to crown a winner at the GEOINT Sympos...

There has been a lot of excitement about the use of computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) technologies for geospatial imagery analysis. As there are many use cases where these technologies can be employed effectively to solve real problems, it is tempting to try and apply them on any problem involving the use of imagery. CV and ML solutions do not typically yield perfect answers, and therefore human+machine teaming becomes a natural a...
