As a GIS professional, you understand that robust and quality data is at the heart of every business decision including land-use planning, mineral exploration, tax compliance, transportation, as well as infrastructure development and management. However, collecting data from various local government and other resources can be expensive, time-consuming and error-prone.

The process can be bureaucratic, expensive, and subject to a long approval. This could lead to delays and inconsistency in data deliveries, which is especially critical for end-users whose aerial imagery needs are based on seasonal conditions.

It would be naive to think that there are no repercussions related to geospatial programs and research from the upcoming presidential elections. After all, the so-called "GoreSat" whole Earth-observing capacity was mothballed under George Bush's first term and only became reality in Obama's second term. In that same timeframe, however, we saw the rise of geospatial intelligence investment to support war efforts that created a geospatial economic engine the likes we'd never seen before.
