GEOINT in natural and technical disasters

This work will present a project proposal that represents the national complement of NATOScience and Technology Organization activity SET-279 “Satellite sensor with synthetic aperture and big data technology in support of NATO operations”. There is a possibility to use the acquired knowledge and experience in automatic processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images for civilian support tasks of the Croatian Armed Forces (CAF) in cases of natural and technical disasters (floods, earthquakes, large fires, landslides, avalanches, contamination with oil and chemicals at sea, lakes and rivers, illegal excavations and illegal logging). The use of commercial satellites with a high time resolution (6 hours) will enable the rapid production of thematic maps for the CAF Command and Operations Center and field intervention units. Algorithms developed through the SET-279 activity will be adapted to national needs. Through this activity, the operational units in charge of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and Imagery intelligence (IMINT) will be trained and qualified to independently process satellite images, according to current NATO standard operating procedures and doctrines, and to distribute them through existing command and control channels. The concept of the future system includes expert support at the inter-ministerial level ; transfer of resources of the CAF (acquired images and processing of satellite images) to other ministries ; e.g. application in spatial planning and environmental protection, forestry, agriculture and fishing, energy, border protection, transport, hazard estimation etc. A solid and well-defined framework will be created for scientific and development activities, definition of operational procedures and specialist training.
