Remote Sensing Technicians
Operating acoustic and non-acoustic mission equipment and analyzing and reconstructing tactical missions provides a foundation for learning remote-sensing data processing.
How to prepare: Consider a GIS or remote-sensing degree program with supervised imagery projects to build geospatial knowledge and practical experience checking and processing image data. The documented military duties do not establish geospatial image-analysis experience.
What the civilian work involves
- Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.
- Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.
- Adjust remotely sensed images for optimum presentation by using software to select image displays, define image set categories, or choose processing routines.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
- ESRI ArcGIS software
