Past event: GDI APAC 2014 Conference

Providing Timely, Relevant, and Accurate Geospatial Intelligence In Support Of National Security

Over the last 12 months the Asia Pacific region has seen national security incidents of unprecedented scale including violent protests, devastating natural disasters and major search and rescue missions. Organisations including the armed forces, law enforcement and associated national security agencies are being tasked with handling life threatening scenarios, whilst simultaneously being expected to perform to higher standards of operational excellence. What can be done to increase the effectiveness of these organisations?

With the rapid development of C4ISR and IT, the area of greatest opportunity is harnessing the benefits of Geospatial Spatial Intelligence (GEOINT). With new technologies in the areas of data integration, interoperability, multi-INT analysis, mobile devices and UAVs, GEOINT is the force multiplier your agency needs to enhance national security.

Now in its 7th year, Geospatial Defence & Intelligence APAC brings you the latest case studies and technology from around the world. Specially designed to address your agency’s greatest challenges in the areas of GIS and National Security, this is the ideal platform to learn the latest developments from the experts in the field.

Key Themes at the 7th Annual GDI APAC:

  • Incorporating GIS into national security operations including warfighting, law enforcement, counter-insurgency, disaster recovery and operations other than war
  • Improving data acquisition and integration
  • Enhancing geospatial intelligence dissemination and utilisation
