WPAFB has been at the forefront of MASINT/AGI development for decades.  Formed in 2004, the WPMDC formalized pre-existing AFIT, AFRL and NASIC collaborative partnership in MASINT/AGI under one umbrella.  The WPMDC establishes a local-level, formal linkage between MASINT/AGI technology development, education, and user requirements.  All organizations are co-located at WPAFB.  AFIT, AFRL, and NASIC each share different but complementary MASINT capabilities.  Each is pursing overlapping forefronts of future MASINT/AGI capability development.

• AFIT - DOD focused education and research: Advanced Geospatial Intelligence IR/SAR Certificate Program (ACP), ACP Laboratory, many graduate degree programs.
• AFRL - Basic research, exploratory and advanced development of exploitation capability, R&D training, technology translation, enhanced ACP laboratory, modeling tools, signatures development.
• NASIC - National Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination producer, developed many key MASINT/AGI capabilities, tools, and algorithms.

The WPMDC has three goals which are:

• Increase awareness, cooperation, and collaboration of MASINT/AGI-related activities across APAFB
  • Advocate and foster MASINT/AGI analytical capabilities
  • Improve transition of capabilities to users
  • Leverage joint resources and strengths to improve capabilities
• Create intellectual capital for the MASINT/AGI community
  • Need more MASINT/AGI scientists and engineers
  • Foster growth and development of future MASINT/AGI talent
• Improve MASINT/AGI capabilities
