Remote Sensing Technicians
Interpreting acoustic and non-acoustic sensor data, operating radar and camera workspaces, and maintaining digital tactical plots provide a foundation for remote sensing data work.
How to prepare: Complete a hands-on remote sensing GIS course and build an ESRI ArcGIS project that integrates imagery with other geospatial data and documents accuracy checks.
What the civilian work involves
- Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.
- Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.
- Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
- ESRI ArcGIS software
