Fundamentals of Advanced Geospatial Intelligence
Download brochure (PDF)Understanding AGI
Riverside Research Institute (RRI) offers an introductory, non-technical Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) course that provides insight into this challenging, sophisticated discipline. AGI offers tremendous potential against a diverse array of national security threats, humanitarian issues, and environmental situations. AGI-oriented analysts exploit this capability quickly due to quantum improvements in data processing, advanced software tools, and new sensor developments.Who should attend?
Analysts, collection planners, processing technicians, financial analysts, acquisition officers, program planners, and all levels of managers - not just engineers and scientists - will benefit from this course.What students will learn
Students are introduced to the two sub-disciplines of MASINT that comprise AGI: Radar and Electro-Optical, to include Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR). They will learn about the AGI community and its history. Students will gain an understanding of basic AGI capabilities and participate in a discussion of AGI products, realworld applications, and signatures.Students will be able to help analysts resolve key intelligence issues and conduct proactive, predictive analyses. They will be able to answer difficult questions, such as:
- What type of activity took place?
- Where and when did it occur?
- Can other sensors provide more information?
