Remote Sensing Technicians
Operating airborne mine-detection equipment provides a sensor-operation foundation for civilian remote-sensing data collection.
How to prepare: Complete an introductory remote-sensing course with a practical project checking imagery accuracy and integrating it with geospatial data in ESRI ArcGIS software.
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)
