Description
The Geospatial-Intelligence Imagery Technician uses specialized knowledge and expertise to perform geospatial-intelligence (GEOINT) analysis and collection synchronization. The technician possesses knowledge of the theory and application of data ranging from the ultraviolet through the microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and information derived from the analysis of literal imagery; geospatial data; and information technically derived from the processing, exploitation, literal, and non-literal analysis of spectral, spatial, temporal, radiometric, phase history, polarimetric data, other intelligence products, and the data needed for data processing and exploitation, and signature information (to include development, validation, simulation, data archival, and dissemination). These types of data can be collected on stationary and moving targets by electro-optical (to include IR, MWIR, SWIR TIR, Spectral, MSI, HIS, HD), SAR (to include MTI), related sensor programs (both active and passive), and non-technical means (to include geospatial information acquired by personnel in the field).
