Bring Location Intelligence into the Human

Connect people, places, and patterns to sharpen your tradecraft

Discover how GIS supports every stage of the HUMINT lifecycle—from source validation to operational execution.

A new approach to human intelligence operations

Traditional HUMINT tradecraft relies on field experience, source relationships, and intuition. But today’s complex missions require more than instinct. Modernizing HUMINT Tradecraft introduces a location-enabled framework that connects people, behaviors, and terrain to strengthen decision-making and operational clarity.

This technical paper shows how geographic information system (GIS) technology supports mission planning, source validation, tactical coordination, and threat mitigation. The paper also explores how spatial tools help uncover patterns, reduce risk, and align operations across teams and agencies.

Whether you're in law enforcement, defense, or national security, this resource shows how GIS can transform your HUMINT program into a modern, adaptive intelligence capability.
