Summary/Abstract: This article offers a brief insight into the GEOINT organizations (GEOspatialINTelligence), in order to highlight the modern technologies and methods used widely to create intelligence products. These products provide geospatial support for national troops acting at all operational levels. Additionally, GEOINT products are used across national borders for monitoring and assessing the situation on specific military/civilian areas of interest.Firstly, the paper takes into consideration the actual state-of-the-art regarding the GEOINT domain. It covers topics such as GIS (Geographical Information System) technology which, practically, has changed everything in the last two decades by easing the process of making GEOINT products. Another topic approached by this article refers to the work of image analysts, which have a remote sensing background and are trained to distinguish critical elements on the images.
