Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation

The Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO), which is part of the Defence Intelligence Group, is Defence's lead agency for geospatial data, information and intelligence (GEOINT) for Defence and the national intelligence community.

GEOINT is derived from the analysis of imagery and geospatial data to inform an understanding of features and events, with reference to space and time. Understanding what happens where and when underpins all strategic and operational decisions.
