I am currently a battalion level S-2 intelligence professional serving within a stryker brigade combat team. The current imagery needs of Soldiers at the tactical level are not being met with the current systems used by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). We have been working very closely with Digital globe and their EVWHS service and have found that their system is superior in every way to the NGA systems. The problem with other existing systems for obtaining imagery are centered on ease of access, system updates and site navigation. When existing imagery is too difficult to obtain for Soldiers then it might as well not exist because it will go unused. Tools meant to answer the problem sets of intelligence professionals
