11:45 AM From Bollywood to Hollywood – Historic Challenges and Emerging Opportunities for GEOINT in the Indo-Pacific

War fighters and decision makers have long been challenged by the sheer size, cultural issues, economic complexity and the security challenges associated with the Indo-Pacific region. As GEOINT evolves it is assuming an ever more important role in providing decision space in the Pacific to overcome some of these challenges. Find out how new methods and approaches including working more in the open will create critical partnerships to continue to address these challenges.

  • Using GEOINT to appreciate the sheer size (52% of the earth) and physical characteristics of the US Pacific Command (PACOM) AOR
  • How to consider the significant challenges to regional peace and security in the Pacific across these vast spaces of distance and time
  • How timely acquisition of GEOINT historically has and continues to provide actionable information for Pacific war fighters and policy makers alike; decision space is even more compressed in the era of Twitter and Instagram
  • How the coming wave of private industry-developed GEOINT offers the opportunity to partner in analytic capacity across the Pacific
