GPC F COMPREHENSIVE TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
RESOURCE
●● Imagery analysis processes
Answer: Detection, identification, and evaluation
●● Geodesy (definition)
Answer: The science of mathematically determining the size, shape, and
orientation of the Earth, and the nature of its gravity field in four
dimensions (in space over time).
●● Seven categories of GEOINT products (both standard and
specialized):
Answer: Aeronautical
Nautical/Hydrographic
Topographical/Terrestrial
Precise Positioning & Targeting
Geodesy & Geophysics
Geographic Names
GEOINT Analysis.
,●● Geospatial Analysis
Answer: The science of extracting meaning from geospatial data and
using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to uncover and investigate
relationships and patterns in all forms of geospatial data to answer
intel/military issues.
●● Three major elements of GEOINT:
Answer: Imagery
Imagery Intelligence
Geospatial Information
●● Sensor Phenomenology
Answer: The study and use of sensor technology, literal and non-literal,
which allows discovery, observation, and characterization of natural
occurring and measurable occurrences (spatial, spectral, radiometric and
temporal).
●● Navigation safety and GEOINT
Answer: Geospatial data-derived products can determine precise
geographic coordinates and other measurements of objects and features
in denied areas more accurately, rapidly, and effectively than is possible
by other means.
●● Two perspectives of Human Geography:
,Answer: Foundational Analysis - Characterizing general patterns of
people and groups within the context of their environment
- AND -
Mission Specific Analysis - Addressing specific questions or hypothesis
with the goal of answering a specific intel question
●● Human Geography
Answer: The study of patterns and processes that shape human
interaction with their environment, with particular attention to the causes
and consequences of the spatial distribution of human activity.
●● The use of cartography in GEOINT
Answer: A map provides information on the existence of, the location of,
and the distance between ground features such as populated places and
routes of travel and communication. It also indicates variations in
terrain, heights of natural features, and the extent of vegetation cover.
Mission planning and analysis become more thorough with the addition
of cartographic information.
●● Global Positioning System (GPS)
Answer: The Global Positioning System is the only fully operational
system that allows users to determine their exact position on or above
the Earth
anytime, in any weather, anywhere. The precise locational information
provided by the GPS is critical to safety of navigation for air, land, sea
and space.
, ●● GEOINT Preparation of the Environment (GPE) (process)
Answer: 1) Define the Environment - Gather facts needed to outline
exact loc.
2) Describe Environment's Influence - Provide descriptive info about
area defined in Step 1.
3) Evaluate Threats/Hazards - Add intel/threat data from multiple INTs
to step 1/2 layers
4) Develop Analytical Conclusions - Integrate all info from steps 1-3.
●● Remote Sensing
Answer: Gathering of information about an object by means of a sensor
at some distance from that object.
●● Foundational Imagery Processes:
Answer: Triangulation
GEOINT Processing and Exploitation
Imagery Correlation
Orthorectification
Mosaic/Image Stitching
Stereoscopy
●● Data Science
