PREFACE The rapid advancement of technology is transforming the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. Among the most transformative innovations is the integration of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) with autonomous systems and the development of smart cities. The confluence of these technologies promises to redefine industries, reshape urban landscapes, and drive unprecedented levels of efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity. Geospatial intelligencethe collection, analysis, and application of geographic dataserves as the foundation for these transformations, providing critical insights into spatial patterns, infrastructure dynamics, and environmental factors. As autonomous systems, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, become increasingly sophisticated, they rely on geospatial data to navigate, interact with their environments, and make real-time decisions. At the same time, the concept of smart cities, which leverages interconnected digital systems to optimize urban living, is quickly evolving, with GEOINT playing a pivotal role in creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable urban ecosystems. This book, How Geospatial Intelligence is Shaping the Future of Autonomous Systems and Smart Cities, delves into the exciting intersection of these technologies, exploring the profound impact they have on the future of cities, industries, and everyday life. The emergence of autonomous vehicles, drones, smart infrastructure, and predictive city planning has opened new possibilities for innovation, but it has also brought with it complex challenges. To realize the potential of these technologies, we must understand the ways in which geospatial data and intelligence inform autonomous decision-making, urban management, and infrastructure development. The integration of GEOINT enables autonomous systems to operate with greater precision and awareness of their environment, while simultaneously driving the development of cities that are more connected, resilient, and responsive to the needs of their inhabitants. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of geospatial intelligence in the advancement of autonomous systems and the development of smart cities. It brings together contributions from experts in the fields of geospatial technology, AI, urban planning, and autonomous systems to offer a holistic view of how these technologies intersect and complement one another. In the chapters that follow, we explore the current state of geospatial intelligence, examine the application of geospatial data in autonomous systems, and analyze the role of GEOINT in building the infrastructure necessary for smart cities. Additionally, we look at emerging trends, regulatory considerations, and the societal impact of these technologies, with a focus on ensuring that these advancements are implemented in ways that are ethical, inclusive, and sustainable. As we stand at the threshold of a new era in which AI, automation, and geospatial intelligence work together to transform our urban environments, this book aims to equip policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and technology enthusiasts with the knowledge and insights necessary to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. Whether you are involved in the design and implementation of autonomous systems, the development of smart cities, or simply intrigued by the convergence of these groundbreaking technologies, this book offers a deep dive into the transformative potential of geospatial intelligence and its pivotal role in shaping the future of our cities and the way we interact with the world. In closing, the integration of geospatial intelligence into autonomous systems and smart cities is not just a technological leapit is a change in basic assumptions that holds the promise of creating more intelligent, sustainable, and human-centered urban environments. By exploring the themes within this book, we hope to inspire new thinking, spark innovation, and guide the responsible development of technologies that will define the cities of tomorrow. The journey ahead is one of immense possibilities, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that the future of autonomous systems and smart cities is one that benefits all.

A Short Introduction to Geospatial Intelligence explains the newest form of intelligence used by governments, commercial organizations, and individuals. Geospatial intelligence combines late 20th century historically derived ways of thinking and early 21st century technologies of GIS, GPS, digital imaging satellites and communications satellites to identify, measure, and analyze the current risk in the world. These ways of thinking have developed from military engineering, cartography, photointerpretation, and imagery analysis. While the oldest example dates back to the early 16th century, all the ways of spatial thinking share the common thread of being developed and refined during conflicts to help military leaders make informed decisions prior to action. In the 21st century— thanks in great part to advances in digital precision technology, miniaturization, and the commercialization of satellites— these ways of thinking have expanded from the military into various other industries and sectors including energy, agriculture, environment, law enforcement, global risk assessment, and climate monitoring. Features: Analyzes human and algorithmic models for dealing with the challenge of analytic attention, in an age of geospatial data overload Establishes an original model— envisioning, discovery, recording, comprehending, and tracking— for the spatial thinking that underpins the practice and growth of this emerging discipline Addresses the effects of small satellites on the collection and analysis of geospatial intelligence A Short Introduction to Geospatial Intelligence describes the development of the five steps in geospatial thinking— envisioning, discovery, recording, comprehending, and tracking— in addition to addressing the challenges, and future applications, of this newest intelligence discipline.

We live in a changing world with multiple and evolving threats to national security, including terrorism, asymmetrical warfare (conflicts between agents with different military powers or tactics), and social unrest. Visually depicting and assessing these threats using imagery and other geographically-referenced information is the mission of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). As the nature of the threat evolves, so do the tools, knowledge, and skills needed to respond. The challenge for NGA is to maintain a workforce that can deal with evolving threats to national security, ongoing scientific and technological advances, and changing skills and expectations of workers. Future U.S. Workforce for Geospatial Intelligence assesses the supply of expertise in 10 geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) fields, including 5 traditional areas (geodesy and geophysics, photogrammetry, remote sensing, cartographic science, and geographic information systems and geospatial analysis) and 5 emerging areas that could improve geospatial intelligence (GEOINT fusion, crowdsourcing, human geography, visual analytics, and forecasting). The report also identifies gaps in expertise relative to NGA's needs and suggests ways to ensure an adequate supply of geospatial intelligence expertise over the next 20 years.

In a world that is increasingly unstable, intelligence services like the American CIA and the United Kingdom's MI6 exist to deliver security. Whether the challenge involves terrorism, cyber-security, or the renewed specter of great power conflict, intelligence agencies mitigate threats and provide decisional advantage to national leaders. But empowered intelligence services require adequate supervision and oversight, which must be about more than the narrow (if still precarious) task of ensuring the legality of covert operations and surveillance activities. Global Intelligence Oversight is a comparative investigation of how democratic countries can govern their intelligence services so that they are effective, but operate within frameworks that are acceptable to their people in an interconnected world. The book demonstrates how the institutions that oversee intelligence agencies participate in the protection of national security while safeguarding civil liberties, balancing among competing national interests, and building public trust in inherently secret activities. It does so by analyzing the role of courts and independent oversight bodies as they operate in countries with robust constitutional frameworks and powerful intelligence services. The book also illuminates a new transnational oversight dynamic that is shaping and constraining security services in new ways. It describes how global technology companies and litigation in transnational forums constitute a new form of oversight whose contours are still undefined. As rapid changes in technology bring the world closer together, these forces will complement their more traditional counterparts in ensuring that intelligence activities remain effective, legitimate, and sustainable.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) provides geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) to support national security, both as a national intelligence and a combat support agency. In the post-9/11 world, the need for faster and more accurate geospatial intelligence is increasing. GEOINT uses imagery and geospatial data and information to provide knowledge for planning, decisions, and action. For example, data from satellites, pilotless aircraft and ground sensors are integrated with maps and other intelligence data to provide location information on a potential target. This report defines 12 hard problems in geospatial science that NGA must resolve in order to evolve their capabilities to meet future needs. Many of the hard research problems are related to integration of data collected from an ever-growing variety of sensors and non-spatial data sources, and analysis of spatial data collected during a sequence of time (spatio-temporal data). The report also suggests promising approaches in geospatial science and related disciplines for meeting these challenges. The results of this study are intended to help NGA prioritize geospatial science research directions.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) within the Department of Defense has the primary mission of providing timely, relevant, and accurate imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information-collectively known as geospatial intelligence (GEOINT)-in support of national security. In support of its mission, NGA sponsors research that builds the scientific foundation for geospatial intelligence and that reinforces the academic base, thus training the next generation of NGA analysts while developing new approaches to analytical problems. Historically, NGA has supported research in five core areas: (1) photogrammetry and geomatics, (2) remote sensing and imagery science, (3) geodesy and geophysics, (4) cartographic science, and (5) geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial analysis. Positioning NGA for the future is the responsibility of the InnoVision Directorate, which analyzes intelligence trends, technological advances, and emerging customer and partner concepts to provide cutting-edge technology and process solutions. At the request of InnoVision, the National Research Council (NRC) held a 3-day workshop to explore the evolution of the five core research areas and to identify emerging disciplines that may improve the quality of geospatial intelligence over the next 15 years. This workshop report offers a potential research agenda that would expand NGA's capabilities and improve its effectiveness in providing geospatial intelligence.
