This unit describes the skills required to provide geospatial technical advice related to geospatial capabilities within a Defence environment. The geospatial capabilities include current and future capability options and are related to current and future Defence operations and training.

This unit was developed for Defence personnel in a geospatial workplace but may be relevant to others who work in this field.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under indirect supervision while performing complex tasks, in a small range of familiar contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.
