Using Activity-BasedIntelligence and GIS

DISCOVER THE UNKNOWN

Using Geography as the Organizing PrincipleThe only common organizing framework we can apply

to all information consists of space and time. Using

geography, we can correlate information that enables

us to discover key events, trends, and patterns in data.

GIS helps users manage information and perform robust

analytics. Maps help users visualize and understand

the relevance of data.

Perform Real-Time and Forensic AnalysesArcGIS® Enterprise enables real-time and big data

analyses. Intelligence can be integrated and analyzed

in real time. Raw intelligence data can be enriched with

foundational intelligence to add context to the data.

This enables analysts to spend more time on analysis

and less time on data-conditioning activities. The same

system can support alerting and postevent analysis.

Activity-Based IntelligenceDiscovery Intelligence for Resolving the UnknownActivity-based intelligence (ABI) applies

geographic thinking in new ways to help

solve complex intelligence problems.

ABI involves a new method of intelligence

gathering that is data driven, employs

multiple sources of intelligence, and is

multidisciplinary. Geospatial intelligence

(GEOINT) is the foundation for all aspects

of ABI. Geographic information system

(GIS) technology provides the platform

to enable organizations to adopt ABI.

Integrate Information Using a Location Platform

Open Platform Integrates with Any ApplicationABI requires a multidisciplinary team. Each team

member will have specialized tools and applications for

analyzing intelligence data. ArcGIS is an open platform

supporting numerous standards. This means that data

scientists, GIS professionals, and application developers

can all have access to the same information for their

analytic environment.

Intelligence organizations are seeing the value of ABI

and discovery intelligence. The implementation of ABI

involves the convergence of new sources of intelligence

information, advancements in technology like big data

and the Internet of Things (IoT), and an innovative way

of thinking about intelligence production.

This has created great opportunities and challenges for

organizations. GEOINT agencies need to lead the way

and lend their expertise to realize the promise of ABI.
