 This is geospatial intelligence. It's also known as GEOINT, and this is the geospatial revolution. Hi, I'm Ty Bakusov from Penn State. I am a geospatial intelligence professional. I am living the revolution. I want to share my exciting journey with you and my knowledge of GEOINT's applications in business, law enforcement, and defense. I want to share a vision of GEOINT's future. Advances in satellites, GPS, unmanned aerial systems, wireless communications, hand-held computing, and the ability to automate laborious map analysis processes has transformed what used to be called geographic intelligence and the types of insights geographers provide. We've gone from mountains of hard copy maps to amazing automated systems to provide insights about the human's use of geography. GEOINT helps us daily through real-time maps. GEOINT analysts combine geographic information science and technologies with human geography. It's also a tradecraft learned through practice. GEOINT's tradecraft includes the artificial sense-making. This is a human thinking process that enables the analysts to better inform our decision-makers. In a few short years, we have gone from mylar overlays to GEOINT on my iPhone. The goal of this course is to have you understand the application and value of GEOINT. You will find out that GEOINT occurs places besides in an intelligence agency. During this course, you will complete a simple geospatial analysis using GEOINT's tools and tradecraft. You will experience real examples so that you appreciate GEOINT beyond the surface level. Together, we will explore GEOINT's data, sources, tools, and most importantly, tradecraft. You will create a narrative describing insights about the human interaction with geography. Together, we will tackle the issue of privacy and secrecy. To be successful, you will need to try new technologies while completing labs, quizzes, and exercises on your own. This course is designed for the individual who wants to learn about GEOINT. It is not for the GEOINT guru. I look forward to you joining me in the class. Welcome to the Geospatial Revolution.
