DESCRIPTION:
Applies geographic information science in response to intelligence needs using SIGINT data collected from foreign systems. This includes the application of temporal and spatial thinking in interpreting SIGINT data in geographic context. Such interpretation requires skills, knowledge, and abilities drawn from multiple disciplines in order to undertake spatial data manipulation, spatial data analysis, spatial statistical analysis and spatial modeling. Have a fundamental knowledge of geospatial SIGINT data, analytical methods, and visualization, in addition to technical knowledge of target technologies. Use the various systems and tools that facilitate spatial analysis. Maintain or support maintenance of reference knowledge databases and dissemination of intelligence.
