The WPMDC seeks to coordinate, enhance, and expand ongoing and planned Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) and Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) activities at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPABF).

The WPMDC is a consortium of WPAFB organizations are involved in MASINT, AGI and/or related activities.

About Us

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, and 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.

Goals

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

• Addressing the need for more MASINT/AGI scientist and engineers
• Foster growth and development of future MASINT/AGI talent

• Improve MASINT/AGI capabilities
