National Security • By monitoring military activities in restricted areas from space, GeoEye will help national security agencies manage international relations on a global scale. • Real-time high-resolution imagery will help the United States government to monitor borders; gather intelligence on potential conflicts; identify and target enemy troops and assets; plan air, ground and naval missions; deploy resources; and assess battle damage. 44

National Security • Benefits include: – Intelligence organizations can perform treaty verification and general surveillance activities – Military services can efficiently produce "3D fly-throughs" for mission planning – National security organizations can detect potential enemy targets and perform battle damage 45
