VALUES

MAG is driven and guided by our core values of Serve-Win-Perform™

METHODOLOGY

MAG enhances intelligence collection through optimized  TCPED concepts on all our ISR programs

TASKING
The key to successful ISR activities is an ISR plan that is developed based on well reasoned analysis, driven by your requirements, focused on your directed tasks, and tied to your anticipated decisions or intended actions.

OPERATIONS
We are fundamentally about ensuring the right sensors are positioned at the right place at the right time to provide the right feedback about activities within your area of operations.

PROCESSING
We work to shorten the collection cycle on board the aircraft and with mission analysts on the ground. This enables us to improve performance and dictate favorable outcomes for you.

EXPLOITATION
High resolution imagery is only the beginning. Instead of focusing entirely on advanced sensors and integrating new phenomenology, which can actually impede dynamic operations, we look at how we treat information once we have it.

DISSEMINATION
We analyze collected information and present products, conclusions, or projections regarding the operational environment in a format the enables you to achieve situational understanding.
