Promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and building

United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) 2007 Geospatial Achievement Award

Presented at Hall of Fame Dinner on 24 OCT 07; largest IC conference of the year; over 3,000 attendees and 130 companies Dr. Swen Johnson was recognized with this prestigious geospatial academic research award for developing innovative methods of blending the social sciences with recent advances made in geospatial predictive technology to help address some of the US intelligence community’s most challenging intelligence problems in tactical and operational environments. Backed up by the Naval Research Laboratory, fellow academic social scientists, geospatial and military colleagues, Dr. Johnson founded Socio-Cultural Intelligence Analysis, Inc. and dedicated himself to creating Human Terrain Analysis Teams across the Department of Defense. His teams’ empirical, quantitative, and group-based sociological focus have transformed traditional geo-spatial models of human behavior into more accurate “geo-social” models, bringing GEOINT to the cutting edge of intelligence analysis.

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is the only organization dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and building a stronger community of interest across industry, academia, government, professional organizations and individual stakeholders.

As a not-for-profit educational foundation, USGIF strives to bring together the community at-large and support life-long learning that will ensure a robust cadre of professionals and a healthy tradecraft now and in the future.

Join us as we pursue our mission!
