📜 Playbook — Geospatial Intelligence collection

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Geospatial Intelligence: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — collect from the 21 mapped sources (15 free) — filter the catalog by GEOINT; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎯 Mission

GEOINT collects and analyzes geospatial data — satellite and aerial imagery, terrain and elevation, movement tracks, and geolocated media — to describe and visually depict physical features and human activity on the Earth's surface. It answers where objects and events are, how terrain shapes activity, and how a location changes over time.

📡 Collection methods

• Multi-temporal satellite imagery acquisition over a defined AOI with cloud-cover filtering
• Geolocation and chronolocation of ground-level photos/video via shadows, sun angle, terrain and landmarks
• Digital elevation model (DEM) and terrain analysis for viewshed, line-of-sight and slope
• Foundation feature extraction and map production from OSM and imagery
• Time-series change detection to flag new construction, movement or terrain modification
• GNSS/GPS track and pattern-of-life analysis from open telemetry
• Spectral indices (NDVI, NDWI) for land-use and environmental characterization

📜 Geospatial Intelligence Tradecraft

1. Task and download multi-temporal Sentinel-2/Landsat scenes over the AOI, filtering to below 20% cloud cover.
2. Orthorectify, atmospherically correct and mosaic scenes, then derive hillshade, NDVI and DEM layers in QGIS.
3. Run change detection between baseline and current imagery to flag new construction, movement or terrain modification.
4. Geolocate features via terrain matching, shadow and sun-angle geometry and OSM cross-reference to confirm coordinates and facility identity.
5. Publish annotated map products with confidence bands and precise coordinates to the country dashboard.
6. Cue IMINT re-tasking or alert analysts when monitored sites cross change thresholds.
