Welcome to the latest issue of MGT e-nnouncement, which offers our audience a recap of key recent news in the field of military geospatial technology, as well as a look at the stories in the current issue of Military Geospatial Technology. Headline stories from the past few weeks include:
• SPADAC has launched the latest version of its Signature Analyst Desktop spatial decision support system.
• SPOT Image has been providing its Reference3D Digital Elevation Data to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to supplement an important global foundation elevation data set that the agency has been producing since 2002.
• The USGIF’s GEOINT Tech Days event this week will include a session on the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s Urban Reasoning and Geospatial Exploitation Technology program, which is developing a 3-D urban object recognition and exploitation system for advanced mission planning and situation analysis.

This issue of MGT features Scott Large, director of the National Reconnaissance Office. Look for us at upcoming conferences, including GEOINT Tech Days, to be held May 14-16, 2008, in Vienna, Va.
