Description

What are the origins of the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO), and how has the organisation developed within the National Intelligence Community? 

How does AGO contribute to the broader remit of Australian statecraft, the work done by other NIC agencies, and the Five Eyes partnership? 

What makes innovation in the geospatial intelligence space key to building resilience? 

 

In this episode Kathryn McMullan joins Sally Bulkeley to discuss the importance of geospatial intelligence, how it contributes to statecraft, and how the AGO works with other partners to enhance national security and resilience. 

 

Kathryn McMullan is the Director of AGO. 

Sally Bulkeley is Deputy Head of the ANU National Security College.
