Uncloaking Adversaries through GIS
In modern conflicts, adversaries hide in plain sight. Their intentions are often disguised in overwhelming volumes of data. In response, intelligence organizations are implementing activity-based intelligence (ABI) to uncloak these adversaries. ABI applies geographic thinking in new ways to help solve today’s complex intelligence problems. The implementation of ABI involves the convergence of new and old sources of intelligence information and new ways of thinking about intelligence production.
At any given moment, every person, thing, location, or activity is connected to place and time. This spatiotemporal data is essential for intelligence. It is captured by sensors, transactions, and observations, which intelligence analysts can bring together in a geographic information system (GIS). GIS manages data that’s critical to discovering the unknown. GIS analytic tools transform data into intelligence that drives action.
