The Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) is the lead agency for geospatial data, information and intelligence (GEOINT) for Defence and the National Intelligence Community (NIC). As part of the Defence Intelligence Group (DIG), AGO provides strategic leadership for the Defence GEOINT Community.
GEOINT is a key enabler of Defence’s ability to achieve its objectives: to shape the strategic environment, deter actions against our interests, and respond with credible military force when required. Through the production and delivery of GEOINT, AGO enables safety of navigation, planning and conduct of Defence operations, situational awareness, policy advice, and intelligence insights. AGO is also responsible for the GEOINT Program, which drives capabilities that underpin GEOINT for Defence.
