  • Provide subject matter expertise to select appropriate datasets and recommend weighting factors for various variables/indicators.
  • Develop educational seminars for onsite personnel and online tutorials on the modeling capabilities of Situational Awareness Tools (SAT) using SOPs, explaining the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the models for MCIA Geospatial Intelligence Science and Analysis Division (GSD) staff and mission partners.
  • Create a series of use case documents to educate end-users on the variables involved in running models with different datasets and indicators, and how to interpret the results in various common software packages.
