Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Cartographers and Photogrammetrists

Military photogrammetric work and airborne imagery exploitation transfer directly to extracting photographic detail and preparing imagery-based mapping products.

How to prepare: Build a civilian mapping sample from public aerial photographs in ESRI ArcGIS software, documenting feature extraction and checks for completeness and accuracy.

What the civilian work involves
  • Compile data required for map preparation, including aerial photographs, survey notes, records, reports, and original maps.
  • Delineate aerial photographic detail, such as control points, hydrography, topography, and cultural features, using precision stereoplotting apparatus or drafting instruments.
  • Inspect final compositions to ensure completeness and accuracy.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • ESRI ArcGIS software

Remote Sensing Scientists and Technologists

Analyzing imagery from airborne and space-based sensors to derive useful information closely matches civilian remote sensing analysis.

How to prepare: Create a reproducible Python analysis of public satellite imagery that documents the processing steps, findings, and sensor limitations.

What the civilian work involves
  • Manage or analyze data obtained from remote sensing systems to obtain meaningful results.
  • Analyze data acquired from aircraft, satellites, or ground-based platforms, using statistical analysis software, image analysis software, or Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
  • Compile and format image data to increase its usefulness.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Python
