The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will soon join the Defense Department in Silicon Valley. NGA Director Robert Cardillo announced plans to open the NGA Outpost Valley this summer in the “geographic heart of American innovation” to engage with technology leaders in Silicon Valley and beyond.
The outpost “will leverage the organic capabilities and energy of the Valley’s open, vibrant, geospatial community,” Cardillo said at the GEOINT Symposium in Orlando, Fla., on May 16. “It’s a beachhead that will have the authority to reach out to all innovation centers.”
