Government needs a new mentality and evolving methodology to address the opportunities and challenges presented to the intelligence community by the ongoing data revolution, according to Justin Poole, deputy director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the commercial sector steadily fields new devices that enhance and connect our lives, the amount of data and types of data that we can use to collect analytic insight continues to grow,\u201d Poole said, speaking at the annual C4ISRNET conference. \u201cThis is a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental challenge for the NGA, according to Poole, is how to discover such vast quantities of data and manage to make sense of it all as an intelligence agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One answer the NGA is pursuing is automation, augmentation and artificial intelligence, or what the agency refers to as \u201ctriple A.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNGA intends to apply \u2018triple A\u2019 to every image that we ingest by the end of this year,\u201d Poole said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
