Improving Policy and Military Decisions

In the post 9/11 world, Human Geography has become a critical element in helping the U.S. Government visualize how to win the hearts and minds of people in the Middle East and Africa. Building cultural geospatial maps that reveal details about tribal, ethnic and religious allegiances are essential to that effort.

Our Human Geography databases can help U.S. Government entities in mission planning and situational awareness to improve policy and military decisions. Uncovering the extent of tribal influence, irrespective of international boundaries, sheds light on the undercurrents of the political landscape.

GSI databases are also useful in:

• Tracking cross-border terrorist movements
• Monitoring the smuggling of weapons, explosives, drugs, untaxed goods and people
• Tracking illegal immigrants 
• Linking humans with attacks on infrastructure such as oil pipelines
