ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Senior GEOINT Authority (SGA) for GEOMATICS serves as the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG) principal advisor and GEOINT Functional Manager's personal advisor on all aspects of GEOMATICS, a discipline which integrates acquisition, modeling, analysis, and management of spatially referenced data. GEOMATICS is based on the scientific framework of geodesy, geophysics, photogrammetry, elevation, and bathymetry. GEOMATICS uses terrestrial, marine, airborne, and satellite-based sensors to acquire spatial and other data, including the process of transforming spatially referenced data from different sources into common information systems with well-defined accuracy characteristics. The incumbent fosters mission integration by building communities of interest (CoIs) and developing relationships with senior-level oversight and customer stakeholders, developing strategic plans for the functional mission area in alignment with NGA strategy, supporting prioritization of investments in sources, technology, innovation, and R&D, developing and championing analytic and functional tradecraft requirements, and advocating for training and career development opportunities. The SGA for GEOMATICS seeks to accomplish the NGA strategy by leading efforts to achieve buy-in and adoption from the COIs and federated production partnerships, working to ensure implementation of the NGA Strategic Plan for Safety of Navigation, developing and differentiating the strategic talent plan and training and tradecraft requirements, and providing domain-specific invest/divest advice. The SGA for GEOMATICS' primary interfaces SF Group and Office leadership, GEOINT Broker team, Career Services, NGA College, and senior oversight officers, as well as senior intelligence, defense, and national security officials, on matters of national and international interest. The incumbent leads transformation of the national and allied GEOMATICS GEOINT community in order to drive and maintain optimal community discoverability, accessibility, and usability of NGA's GEOMATICS data, products, and knowledge (GEOMATICS "content"). The SGA collaborates with mission partners through the NSG and Allied System for Geospatial Intelligence (ASG) to ensure GEOMATICS GEOINT data availability and compatibility for community databases and cloud environments, future weapon/navigation systems, and advanced navigation and mission planning systems. The SGA represents the DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) at national and international forums to enhance data, cost, and burden sharing for GEOINT production supporting next generation Foundation GEOINT services. The SGA prioritizes and de-conflicts GEOMATICS related acquisition and production issues among the Agency, IC, NSG, and Allied partners. The SGA coordinates multi-disciplinary processes associated with complex, controversial, or precedent-setting matters that have a critical bearing on the accomplishment of current or future capabilities and research and development. The SGA advocates GEOMATICS issues across all NGA key components to ensure a common understanding of strategic GEOMATICS requirements and provide a coordinated agency effort to meet them over the long-term. Understands IC, Service and COCOM GEOMATICS requirements, articulates needs internal to NGA, and acts as an advocate in the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process for resource allocation. Advances NGA's role of promoting geospatial intelligence in support of GEOMATICS with industry, academia, and international organizations. Ensures efficient and effective process flows to support NGA and customer missions. Actively shapes the viability of the GEOMATICS tradecraft and training and analyst certification and recommends NSG solutions to improve the quality of GEOMATICS analysis.
