JST478 Imagery & Geo-spatial Intelligence (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Justice Studies (JUSTU)
Duration: One sesssion
Abstract:
This subject provides students with a detailed body of knowledge relating to the application of imagery and geo-spatial intelligence collection and analytical tools to a range of intelligence contexts (national security, policing and emerging practice areas). Students will apply this body of knowledge to different operational intelligence scenarios in the subject in order consolidate new skills learnt. In particular, students will complete mock assessment tasks using relevant imagery and geo-spatial technology analytical skills learnt in the subject. These technical skills are directly applicable to the intelliegence officer's workplace.
