ECCOE and RCA-EO
The Requirements Capabilities & Analysis for Earth Observations (RCA-EO) helps the USGS and other agencies take full advantage of U.S. and international Earth observation capabilities, and develop requirements-driven, prioritized investment decisions for new EO systems, products, and services.
USGS ECCOE staff support RCA-EO with high levels of expertise and years of knowledge about existing Earth observations systems, researching and identifying the capabilities of new systems, creating tools to help identify and visualize new sensors and the resulting data, and communicate research and results with the remote sensing community.
ECCOE maintains and enhances the Earth Observation Requirements Evaluation System (EORES) for USGS and NOAA in support of understanding and assessing earth observing product value and user requirements, earth observing system capabilities.

National Land Imaging Requirements (NLIR) Pilot Project summary report: Summary of moderate resolution imaging user requirements
Under the National Land Imaging Requirements (NLIR) Project, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing a functional capability to obtain, characterize, manage, maintain and prioritize all Earth observing (EO) land remote sensing user requirements. The goal is a better understanding of community needs that can be supported with land remote sensing resources, and a means to match needs with apAuthorsCarolyn Vadnais, Gregory L. Stensaas - News
