KENNEBUNK — The next Association of Former Intelligence Officers’ public meeting will be held at the Brick Store Museum’s Program Center, 4 Dane St. in Kennebunk at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17.
The topic will be the crucial role of geospatial intelligence in national security, and the program will be lead by Khary Stringer, a veteran imagery analyst.
Geospatial intelligence provides minutely detailed geophysical descriptions of the Earth — on, below and above its surface — drawn from data gathered by a variety of sources, including orbiting satellites, remote sensors, aircraft, ships, cartography, human sources and other intelligence disciplines.
Stringer is a geospatial intelligence officer with more than 17 years of military and civilian experience.
Recently he was at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as a strategy advisor. Before that he served overseas with the NGA in Europeon and African operations and as an imagery analyst aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.
He is currently a national security fellow at the Harvard University School of Government.
