Imagery Analyst services include researching the NES or its follow-on, and other appropriate databases for amplifying information, producing standard NGA imagery analysis products, and effectively collaborating with the NSG, ASG, IC, and other organizations that enhance collection, research, analysis, and product generation processes. These services include, but are not limited to:

Provide services to include researching the NES, its follow-on, SOM or SOM-like applications that support OBP and its related databases, automated message-handling systems, and other appropriate databases for amplifying information, producing standard and formalized NGA imagery analysis products, and effectively collaborating with other NGA and IC analysts during the collection, research, analysis, and product generation processes
Provide imagery analysis against targets utilizing a variety of platforms and will include locating, identifying, characterizing, and monitoring strategic operational and tactical facilities. These contract services will also support the creation of a variety of GEOINT media and collateral imagery products such as data sets, ground truth, and briefing materials supporting various geospatial research projects
Provide services supporting the identification of technology gaps in capabilities and processes, and support the insertion of new imagery related technology into operational environment. Imagery Analysis shall be required to use a multi-INT approach in every aspect of their analytical duties to analyze AOIs to support Counterproliferation, Counterterrorism, Current Operations, Counterintelligence support Anticipatory Intelligence and Strategic Intelligence.
Perform quality control on analytical products, provide collaboration with the NGA workforce on leading edge imagery analysis technologies, and provide expert advice on technical matters related to imagery information
Serve as SME Imagery Analysts, producing intelligence on mission specific issues. The primary products produced will be summary-type reports, detailed mission graphics, database remarks, ad-hoc reports, and daily briefings
Utilize various NGA and IC databases at an intermediate to expert level of mastery. NGA uses a variety of imagery analysis formats and databases to accomplish its mission. The NES and Intelink databases are key components for this service.
Incorporate the full spectrum of GEOINT to include: NTM, manned and unmanned air breather, and civil/commercial sensors providing hardcopy and softcopy imagery exploitation. Where applicable, utilize manual light tables and electronic light tables as required.
Provide imagery analysis services in the form of datasets and visualization products that typically result in authorship of 6-9 standard, coordinated NGA intelligence reports per year, including but not limited to reports such as NIBs and GN’s. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide imagery analysis services by creating at least 20-25 standard, non-coordinated products per year, predominantly NES baseline reports or ad-hoc requests for information.
Publish NES remarks, baseline descriptions, and other imagery exploitation reporting in accordance with the NSG Directive 2-1 Exploitation and Reporting Structure (EARS-2) reporting guidance and/or SOM-associated data as necessitated by the assigned office’s requirements. These contract services will support NGA’s GEOINT Program of Analysis or other mechanism that guides analytic efforts
Read, extract and plot coordinates using multiple map and chart scales, projects and datums.
Provide and create metadata to support structured observations in support of the ODNI’s OBP initiatives.
Provide imagery analysis services on orders of battle, battle damage assessment, and other core skill sets as dictated by the government.

(U) Staffing Requirement: This work requires staff to perform foundational airfield analysis. Staff must have basic knowledge in foundational airfield analysis, mission familiarity, demonstrated ability to operate in a high-tempo environment, be adaptable and team-oriented, be committed to delivering timely and accurate GEOINT, and exhibit professionalism.

(U) Duties: Contractors are required to support NGA’s Airfield Foundation Data (AFD) program by extracting specific airfield feature data in accordance with NGA data and product specifications. within NGA defined areas around AFD collections. Activities involve data

acquisition, data evaluation, data analysis, data entry, data application, quality control/assurance and product finishing database scripting, quality control/assurance and product finishing.

(U) Skills and Experience:

(U) Required

• Basic knowledge and understanding of airfield infrastructures such as taxiways, runways, navigational aids, ATC tower, and hangars, to create AFD products.

• 1-3 years of feature collection (points, lines, and areas), feature validation and finishing.
• The ability to understand, update, and draft technical documentation in support of mission progression.

(U) Desired

• Understanding of basic geospatial principles such as coordinate systems (horizontal and vertical), elevation models, and accuracy values.

• Demonstrated knowledge of imagery, products, processes, and sensors.
• Knowledge of and experience with understanding, reading, and writing XML.

(U) Service Constraints

(U) SFA uses an internal AFD rubric for credential qualification and Analysts are required to earn an FAA credential for Airfield Foundation Data. Once FAA qualified in the primary AFD role the expectations is for the contractor to work to become FAA certified in VO.

(U) Credentials will be maintained through successful completion of recurring proficiency training and will be withdrawn when assigned to another position or upon termination of the contract. Additionally, this work can be challenging due to the aeronautical production tempo

and strict quality standards.
