Geospatial Intelligence Middle East returns in 2011 for its fourth successful year. In recognition of the strategic importance of the UAE and its position as the world’s fourth largest importer of weapons, for the first time ever the event will take place in the country’s capital, Abu Dhabi. This is the region’s only dedicated defence and security focused geospatial intelligence summit, addressing the most pressing issues faced by the geospatial intelligence community today. With exclusive case studies from global leaders in intelligence exploitation, this event tackles interoperability and integration head-on.
As tensions in the Middle East continue to run high and national security remains of paramount importance to the region’s governments, having access to geographic information systems and accurate, real-time intelligence has never been more important. This conference addresses how the applications of geospatial intelligence and geospatial technology can enhance a nation’s protection against internal and external threats to it’s population, economy and critical infrastructure. This protection may be against natural disasters, accidental disasters and intentional attacks.
With exclusive case studies from global leaders in intelligence exploitation this event tackles interoperability and integration head-on.
