NGA
NGA, or National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, is a U.S. government organization that gathers, analyzes, and shares geographic and mapping information. Its work supports national security, defense, and emergency responses by providing detailed maps, satellite imagery, and location data. Essentially, NGA helps military and government agencies understand the physical landscape—such as terrain, infrastructure, and natural features—to make informed decisions and ensure safety. It plays a crucial role in navigation, intelligence, and disaster management, all while protecting sensitive information related to national security interests.
