As part of GEOINT Community Week happening next week, USGIF is hosting a workshop called “The Future of U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing,” which will touch upon the key topic of how the U.S. is contemplating scaling back its investment in commercial imagery assets, while a handful of other nations are accelerating their capabilities.  This workshop will allow participants to hear from and ask questions of industry and government on this critical topic.  Today, we are speaking with Josh Hartman, CEO of The Horizon Strategies Group and Principal, Center for Strategic Space Studies, as well as Mr. Kevin O’Connell, President and CEO, Innovative Analytics.  Both gentlemen will be playing a major role at this event.

Just in time for GEOINT Community Week, USGIF will be launching its new official publication called Trajectory Magazine. This exciting new publication will provide high-level thought leadership for USGIF members, as well as for the overall intelligence, defense, aerospace, and homeland security communities.

USGIF board member Dr. Christopher Tucker has been very busy lately working on  the MapStory.org initiative, which will enable a global community of experts to “crowd source” socio-cultural data within a geospatial and temporal framework through an online social media channel or platform. MapStory is also intended to be an infrastructure enabling “MapStorytelling” as a means of communicating important socio-cultural dynamics to a global audience. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Chris about this initiative and much more.

Recently a number of geospatial experts have authored articles that highlight the viability of commercial imagery – with the proposed U.S. defense budget cuts potentially having a significant impact on the commercial remote sensing industry.  We are fortunate enough to have gathered three of these experts on one podcast today.  We are speaking with Kevin Pomfret, Executive Director of the Centre for Spatial Law and Policy; Josh Hartman, Principal at the Center for Strategic Space Studies and the chief executive of the Horizon Strategies Group; and Dennis Jones, President of the Jones Consulting Group.

As the GEOINT community continues to grow, USGIF believes it is important to increase the involvement of young people as they will become the future GEOINT leaders of our industry, government and academic. As such, in 2009, the USGIF Young Professionals Group (YPG) was formed to unite junior GEOINT professionals within the Defense and Intelligence communities. This group offers events and programs that parallel the Foundation’s mission of advancing the geospatial intelligence tradecraft. Today we are speaking Mike Campanelli, Sr. Systems Engineer, RadiantBlue Technologies on the value of being a YPG volunteer.
