Army veteran and founder of Geo Owl, Nick Smith, discusses the growing importance of geospatial intelligence across various industries, including healthcare, farming, and elite intelligence operations. However, using geospatial intelligence also raises national security concerns, particularly regarding China's capacity, capability, and reach for stealing technology. Smith argues that economic warfare might be the actual version of World War Three, and cutting off access to the US market could lead to conflict with China. The podcast delves into the potential risks of allowing Chinese companies access to the US market and the need for strong leadership to address the issue and prevent future conflicts.  We discussed various use cases for geospatial intelligence, including the war in Ukraine and the services provided by Geo Owl.
