image located by Esteban RiveraUnit 9900 (formerly Unit 9700) is in charge of VISINT, Visual Intelligence , which stands for
"intelligence obtained from optical collection means: visual
observations, observations with various devices from the ground and
air, and various photographic means" (source),
more precisely visual decoding, precise mapping and satellite
imagery. It was established in 1997 although it traces its recent
origins to the establishment of Unit 9700 (1976) and its lineage
through other Units (like the Nachshon Unit, 1976"2000, and even a map and photography service
established in March, 1948).
