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.

Remote Sensing Technicians

UUV operations supporting mine countermeasures and battlespace preparation provide a platform-operation foundation for remote sensing work.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on GIS course with a project that integrates remotely sensed data with other geospatial data and checks the results for accuracy.

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

Notes & Sources

  • Verified duties establish UUV operation, but do not document remote sensing image processing or geospatial data integration experience.
