Geospatial: A Force Multiplier for Defense and Internal Security

Geospatial Intelligence – a critical foundation for many aspects of defense and internal security, offers the capability of monitoring, predicting and countering threats, while helping strategize and support various field operations. It facilitates multi-source information sharing and integration across agencies and organizations by providing a common framework on which other information is based. The use of big data, advanced geospatial analytics software and sophisticated imaging technologies from (very) high-resolution remote sensing satellites, UAVs and other sensors, enables seamless flow of information in pre-, real-time and post-combat operations.

Real-time views and insights of impacted regions are key to improving emergency response times, especially in vulnerable areas such as a country's border. Considering critical situations can occur at any time, situational awareness has never been more important. Geospatial data is invaluable to the border security operations, to deliver accurate situational awareness information, enabling quick and secure decision-making, while mitigating risks, and increasing national security.

GeoIntelligence Asia 2018 will bring together the military, security officials, and government and industry together to assess the latest technology solutions and discuss and deliberate on the critical role of geospatial technology for safety and security. It will have an impressive agenda of speakers who will share their unique perspective and insights on the geospatial intelligence community’s role in defeating threats. The conference will offer an unparalleled balance of substantive information with ample time for networking and socializing.
