GEOINT capabilities:
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM
To highlight the Romanian GEOINT operational capabilities,
based on the skills of the Romanian GEOINT Analysts trained inside CGINT,
we'd like to quote some appreciations from an article entitled Romania
Provides Real-Time GEOINT in Iraq, published by Pathfinder – The
Geospatial Intelligence Magazine, NGA, January/February 2006:
"Romania's GEOINT system is an outstanding example of how U.S., Coalition
and Iraqi troops on the ground are the direct beneficiaries of multinational
collaboration in geospatial intelligence to support operations in real
time."
"Exploiting a combination of commercial multi-spectral and multi-temporal
real-time imagery and video taken by unmanned aerial vehicles, the Romanian
Imagery Intelligence Team was able to identify and track enemy vehicles
transporting and hiding ammunition and weapons."
"This clearly demonstrates the critical role that GEOINT provides in support
of Coalition military operations and highlights the benefits derived from
expanding NGA’s collaboration and cooperation with America’s allies and
partners."
