As cool as remotely sensed data is, it is not actionable intelligence. It starts off as a signal that gets processed to become data. That is a value added process. The data is then interpreted and collated to turn it into information and the value increases. The Information is then combined or conflated with other information to create knowledge which through applying context and experience provides domain awareness and actionable intelligence.
The pieces that fit together to enable this value chain can be complex and Swiftsure's specialty is understanding that complexity and simplifying through the application of innovative tools and methods.
