Surface and subsurface contact classification
Acoustic station mission equipment inspection

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

Operating airborne electro-optical and infrared systems to detect and track contacts provides transferable sensor experience for remote sensing data collection.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on GIS course that includes integrating thermal imagery with other 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.
