Air National Guard (ANG) Ground Exploitation System (GES)
The Ground Exploitation System processes and exploits imagery collected by F-16s flown by the Air National Guard's 192 Fighter Wing. The F-16s carry a pod mounted electro-optical camera that records images on tape. Imagery analysts use the Ground Exploitation System to manipulate digital imagery to provide timely and responsive imagery products to warfighters.
