How do we learn about objects of interest to intelligence through the matter
In about 250 words for each question, answer the following:
Considering remote sensing, how do we learn about objects of interest to intelligence through the matter/energy interactions of emission, reflection, refraction, and absorption?
Describe resolution, discuss how this applies to intelligence, and define the four principal measures or types of resolution used to analyze and evaluate collected information.
Describe the four types of satellite orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO) and identify what types of collection are principally done from each orbit type.
How does synthetic aperture radar work and what advantages does it have over optical imagery?
The second step of the intelligence cycle is collection. Like the intelligence cycle, the collection process has its own cycle or process – so it is a cycle within a cycle. Describe the intelligence collection process (also known as the collection management process) and some of its principal challenges.
