GEOINT is not a true INT because INT does not deal with manipulated information. Intelligence in military science deals with information collected and analysis that helps commanders to make decisions.
What are the three ways in which electromagnetic waves interact with matter? Electromagnetic waves interact with matter in the following ways;1) electromagnetic waves may undergo surface reflection. Optic describes the laws of reflection. This can be applied to all types of electromagnetic reflections. They range from radio waves to gamma rays.2) electromagnetic waves may be transmitted in the substances it comes across. When there is no energy absorbed by the material, the waves are said to be transparent to materials.3) electromagnetic waves can be fully or partially absorbed by the substance it comes across.
If the energy is absorbed by the medium, it may cause some changes in the medium.1 What is a sensor suite? Sensor suite refers to all systems and the hardware and software systems that are associated with the sensor arrays. There are different types of sensor suites. These are the easiest way to monitor the things inside a building from any part of the world. Describe the orbits of satellite sensor platforms An Orbit refers to a path of an object found in space. There are four types of orbit of satellite sensors.
The first one is satellite orbit; this satellite follows an elliptical path, round the earth. One complete revolution is known as the orbital period. Geostationary orbits occur when a satellite follows an orbit that is parallel to the equator that moves in a similar direction as the earth’s rotation. Near polar orbits, refers to the orbital plane that is inclined at an angle concerning the rotation of the earth’s axis. Sun-synchronous orbits followDescribing an orbit whose altitude is in a way that the satellite will pass over a location at a local solar time.
Describe the drawbacks of airborne sensor platforms in the collection of technical intelligence is not easy because it is not possible to collect complete information from adversaries. This is because the chips may be down, and some of the strategies may fail. Designing a satellite of balanced force has been another drawback of the airborne sensors platform in collecting technical intelligence. 2Describe resolution Resolution is the clarity of an image. The sensors can see the smallest objects in an image.
Resolution determines the sharpness of an image. Spatial resolution refers to the ability to measure how closely lines can be resolved in an image. Spatial resolution is limited by diffraction. The pixel spacing of the ground sample of an image on the earth’s surface is small compared to the resolvable spot size.
