NGA powers Global Hydro-Intelligence (GHI), a game-changing tool that helps military leaders predict and manage water risks. From flooding to soil moisture, GHI delivers vital data for mission success! Learn more on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's post!
NGA 🤝 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 🤝 United States Air Force 🤝 US Navy
NGA is proud to support the operational capability of Global Hydro-Intelligence (GHI), a strategic tool designed to predict and manage water-related risks for military leaders. 💧
GHI integrates observations from various sources and uses state-of-the-art models to provide accurate, timely and mission-critical geospatial hydrological information, such as soil moisture, soil temperature, snow cover and vegetation health, which helps address and forecast extreme events, such as severe flooding.

"In the U.S., military and intelligence personnel, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), scholars, professional organizations, legislators, journalists, and others are requesting study of UFOs, recently renamed Unidentified Aerial/Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) by the U.S. government. Yet disinformation, misidentifications, hoaxes, and entertainment cloud the subject. Combined, these factors pertain to wider debates about the parameters of academic freedom. Here, we asked faculty across 14 disciplines at 144 research universities (N = 1460) to register insights about UAP in the academy via confidential survey. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first national study to examine scholars’ evaluations of academic credibility and possible social or professional repercussions—including concerns for tenure, promotion, and academic freedom—in relation to UAP."

Had an amazing time discussing Digital Engineering and MBSE yesterday at the MathWorks DC Aerospace & Defense Symposium!
It was great to catch up with familiar faces, as well as meet others and connect on their Digital Transformation efforts.
Can’t wait for next year!

Space, Russia, and Ukraine Part 2: NASA Astronaut and F-16 Fighter Pilot Terry Virts
In Part 2 of our interview Ukraine Story continues our dialogue with Astronaut and F-16 pilot Terry Virts about the American political landscape on Ukraine and the military tools necessary for victory:
How do we understand the American political landscape on Ukraine? Its is rather complex. Generalizations are difficult. Even so, at least three categories emerge.
The first group might be described as having real concerns about Russian aggression, but tired of the subject, somewhat supportive of Ukraine, but growing in indifference and focused on other issues. Within this group are advocates for a negotiated settlement ceding Ukrainian land to Russia as a means of establishing peace.
A second group is associated with the Tucker Carlson branch of the Right. They are ruled by anger with American institutions, advance a hyper-conspiratorial understanding of reality, are teaching that "everything" reported on Ukraine is a lie, has contempt for Ukraine, has forsaken the Reagan legacy and historic Christian principles of Just War Theory, have embraced the Soviet revivalism of Vladimir Putin, and heavily utilize Kremlin propaganda talking points in their narratives.
A third group supports President Biden's pro-Ukraine policies agenda largely without question, believing it to be committed to a Ukrainian victory, even though actual facts reveal otherwise.
A fourth group opposes the Russian invasion on ethical, legal, moral and anti-Soviet revivalist grounds, and advocates that it is in the interest of America to help Ukraine defend their national sovereignty by seeking complete victory over the Russian invaders.
The Military Tools Necessary for Victory: Despite providing support from the United States, the present presidential Administration has made aid conditional on Ukraine’s agreement to limit engagement of the enemy and have been reluctant to send specific tools necessary for a victory over Russia. How can this policiy be reversed, and what are the specific tools necessary to provide air superiority and battlefield dominance for a military victory?
“I’d rather stop this authoritarian march in its tracks right now for a small fraction of our defense budget rather than having to fight them with American soldiers 5 -10 years down the road. It is that stark of a choice. We either win in Ukraine or we try to win in Taiwan, or Finland, or Estonia or somewhere else. That’s the message… If Ukraine wins, it will be the last battle of world war three, if they lose, it will be the first.” - Terry Virts
