Image Intelligence (IMINT)

Our valued subscribers told us that IMINT is highly sought after, and we were, as always, happy to facilitate. In 2009, IHS Jane’s published more than 50 satellite image analysis articles. Our coverage of the undisclosed Iranian nuclear facility near Qom (above) was widely acclaimed by global mainstream media but it was JMSA subscribers who got the full story first.
Our partnerships with GeoEye and DigitalGlobe ensure that if it’s a significant issue and it’s visible we’ll share it and, most importantly, help you to understand what it means.

"Congratulations again for this excellent seminar. It's nice to attend a briefing provided by people who actually know what they are talking about, particularly concerning Iraq.
