I am at GEOINT2011 to better understand the role and play of geospatial technologies in addressing issues in nuclear non-proliferation. My brief is to develop research collaborations with government and industry in these matters with the Science, Technology and Public Policy program at Harvard's Kennedy School. The principal group involved would be the "Managing the Atom" project. Its research and publications are here: http://belfercenter.ksg.ha... [read more]

GEOINT for Camouflage, Concealment and Deception? Definitely. New Uses and repurposing of GEOINT assets and imagery... It just makes sense!

I invite one and all not in Duffer heaven to stop by our Sunday morning session on the above. In my opinion we are reaching a point where processing speeds have finally made real and (at least partially automated) fusion of data into useable information a realistic and worthwhile community goal. I seek opinions on both sides to share with our planned panel of academic experts during the session - facts welcome (even those in dispute).

Eileen Geier: Barry, Great topic, but I'll be sailing on Sunday morning and flying down Sunday nite. I want to catch up with you to discuss the significant outcomes of this session.
