 After intercepting substantial chatter regarding a black-market auction for nuclear material is identified, word is spread to the various elements across the Defense and Intelligence communities to determine what nuclear material might be in play and what course of action should be taken. As it becomes clear that spent nuclear fuel is being shipped to Cuba for the highest bidder and possibly heading to American shores, a multi-national mission is planned to intercept the cargo before it can reach terrorist hands.

 Throughout the five blocks of the GEOINT 2007 Symposium, you will witness how interoperable geospatial intelligence capabilities can enable a seamless enterprise by utilizing standards developed by organizations like the Open Geospatial Consortium.

 Beginning with a military interdiction, USGIF Member participants will present on the main stage a live demonstration throughout each of the Symposium subthemes to show you how these numerous and disparate technologies may be integrated to support multi-agency collaboration and successfully complete the mission.
