Most national security decisions involve geography. Whether assessing potential terrorist targets, planning where to strike on the battlefield, or deciding where to locate a new building with minimal environmental impact, geography always comes into the equation. GIS software plays an increasingly important role in making these types of decisions.

GIS software gives you the tools to unlock and reveal meaningful patterns in your geospatial data and provide the intelligence support you need for mission success. GIS lets you capture, manage, analyze, and display geographically referenced information, giving you a clear picture of your data and the many complex relationships behind it.

Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) integrates imagery and geospatial data with other intelligence to create products critical to national intelligence, national security, and defense. GEOINT combines previously separated domains such as map production, GIS, and imagery analysis.
