Senior Socio-Cultural Analysts will:

  • Conduct All-Source analytic production of both standard and non-standard human geography (HG), as defined by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which is “a major field of geography concerned with how place, space, and environment are both conditions of and consequences of human activities and human characteristics.”

This includes briefing on the conceptual or theoretical basis for each model and the intended benefits.
  • Provide the capability to exploit necessary data sources and user-controlled variables/indicators to enable users to produce specific datasets within their own exploitation environment.
  • Provide subject matter expertise to select appropriate datasets and recommend weighting factors for various variables/indicators.
  • Develop educational seminars for onsite personnel and online tutorials on the modeling capabilities of Situational Awareness Tools (SAT) using SOPs, explaining the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the models for MCIA Geospatial Intelligence Science and Analysis Division (GSD) staff and mission partners.
  • Create a series of use case documents to educate end-users on the variables involved in running models with different datasets and indicators, and how to interpret the results in various common software packages.
  • Develop new models or modify existing ones as needed, and develop additional best practice methods for optimizing results via Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web services.
  • Models shall include, but are not limited to, vehicle mobility analysis, terrain analysis, economic counter-narcotics, counter-terrorism, hydrology, littoral, climatology, land use change, climate change, urbanization, natural disasters, societal vulnerability, ethnicity and tribal characteristics, environmental-food-water security, atrocities and violence, wired and wireless spectrum, population vulnerability, and other human geography domains.
  • Develop methods for analyzing quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) model results and creating accuracy metrics for the results of SATs.
  • Deliver relevant and timely Human Geography data, information, models, and tools that facilitate integration within a multi-intelligence environment.
