Produktbeschreibung
Military commanders understand the growing threat of commercially available satellite imagery used by adversaries to fight impending military battles. 1 US commercial imagery companies must adhere to policies, limiting enemies from obtaining imagery.

Improvements in commercial satellite technology triggers upgrades in image exploitation software to mine geospatial data and formulate intelligence products. If an enemy can purchase commercial imagery or obtain geospatial tactical data, the US may not posses a superior strategic and tactical advantage.
