Extract geospatial data from remote sensed imagery, field reconnaissance, digital data, existing cartographic products and other collateral data sources. Record analysis results addition to a military geospatial database. Drew, scribed, digitized and scanned cultural, topographic, hydrographic, and/or other features on overlay/scribing surfaces or in digital formats using cartographic principles. Utilized basic cartographic techniques to tailor analytical products and revised planimetric and topographic maps. Performed digital manipulation of geospatial information by querying, viewing, evaluating, and acquiring digital data, using GIS technologies including ESRI, ERDAS, GIS, GPS, CAD, scanners, plotters, printers, and laminators.
