Submission + - GEOINT developing a military and intelligence app store (geek.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (GEOINT) is looking to bring new meaning to the now cliche saying “there’s an app for that” with its recent call for application developers and engineers to come and learn about the new GEOINT app store that is being developed .
Responsible for gathering and analyzing all of the geospatial intelligence for the US military and intelligence communities, GEOINT is looking to leverage modern mobile devices by offering secure applications that can be rapidly deployed to operating units in the field.
While you may have never heard of GEOINT before, it plays an important role in the military and intelligence operations of the US government. Not as public of an organization as DARPA is, GEOINT is responsible for giving as much information about a geographical region as possible before one of the aforementioned groups places people and other resources there. It also offers operational information during global events.
