Quote of the Day -  Definition of “geospatial intelligence” ... “a melding of…ologies and ographies”

Asked how he would define "geospatial intelligence, retired UK brigadier Nick Rigby, former director of intelligence for the UK Ministry of Defense said, "For me it is the melding of geospatial information [that of data and products] across the spectrum of the -ologies and -ographies with the intelligence disciplines to deliver a capability greater than the sum of the constituent parts - a means of visualising the instance, situation or forecasting the same," said Rigby, who is now a non-executive director with ESRI UK.

He went on to say that, "the geospatial intelligence discipline had become a key enabler in network- or information-centric operations."
