How AI is shaping the future of geospatial intelligence

From AI adoption and explainability to new commercial satellite contracts, Breaking Defense’s latest eBook brings together reporting from GEOINT 2026 on how intelligence leaders are shaping the future of space-based geospatial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the geospatial intelligence landscape, making GEOINT 2026 one of the most consequential gatherings for the intelligence community this year.

While Breaking Defense’s everyday focus is on the Defense Department and Ministries of Defense abroad, the annual GEOINT conference offers a unique window into the priorities of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and their partners.

In this exclusive eBook, senior reporter Theresa Hitchens explores how intelligence leaders are approaching AI adoption, explainability, and information sharing, while also examining major contract awards that will shape the future of commercial satellite data and space-based intelligence.
