2. At least three sources on your target country. Two of the sources may be Internet based.
3. Provide at least one Geospatial product. (3 pages)
4. End product (not counting the geospatial product) must be at least a complete page, but no more than two pages. Page with the Geospatial product is separate for a total of three pages.
DO NOT USE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!! KEEP IT UNCLASSIFIED
To better assist here are the definitions provided by instructor
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on earth. Geospatial Intelligence consists of three parts: Imagery, Imagery Intelligence and Geospatial information and services.
Google Earth and Google Maps: both represent a fair and unclassified example of all three parts of GEOINT. The actual map with geo-referenced satellite photos is an example of Imagery. The standard map would represent the Imagery Intelligence.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is the GEOINT National Manager for the Intelligence Community (IC). As a DoD organization the NGA is also the DoD GEOINT Functional Manager.
NGA:
NGA produced video describing GEOINT:
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Information that is available to the general public. This publicly available information is collected, exploited and disseminated in a manner that makes it useful as an intelligence product.
Open source is any person or group that provides information without the expectation of privacy
