National Geospatial Intelligence Agency

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) produces geospatial intelligence, the mapping and imagery side of the U.S. intelligence community. In this graph it appears through the officials who served in it and through one link to the UAP Task Force.

Origins. According to a 2023 Reddit post, the National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC) is a heritage organization of the NGA. Rutledge Hazzard, a retired Army brigadier general who had served in the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, later directed the center. James Clapper became the first civilian director of the NGA's predecessor, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, in 2001. He oversaw its transformation into the NGA and left in 2006.

People. Joanne Isham left the CIA in 2001 and later became the NGA's deputy director. Peter Highnam was its director of research, on assignment from the ODNI, from about 2015 to 2018, between his posts at IARPA and DARPA.

UAP link. David Grusch was the NGA and NRO representative to the UAP Task Force from 2019 to 2021.
