In the specific context of South and East Asia, where there are numerous concerns about national security and threats from neighbours, the primary source for this type of intelligence is spaceborne imagery. Indeed the defence and security agencies in the larger countries in this part of Asia have all been large consumers of the high-resolution space imagery provided, by commercial suppliers such as GeoEye, DigitalGlobe, SPOT Image and ImageSat International. However, recently, nearly all of these Asian countries have either acquired or they are creating their own national capabilities to acquire this type of imagery to overcome the actual or potential restrictions and the delays that occur with the supply of space imagery from sources out with their control. The situation has already been discussed in a preliminary manner in an article published in Geolnformatics by the present writer three years ago (in the March 2004 issue) as part of his world wide survey of high-resolution imaging from space. This new article will concentrate on the many new developments that have taken place in the region since then.
