MCIA PED GPC-F exam Study Material (All
Lessons) with complete solution.
Visual clue categories of image analysis ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Size, shape,
shadow, tone, texture, pattern, location, and association
Imagery analysis processes ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Detection, identification,
and evaluation
Geodesy (definition) ~CORRECT 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):
~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Aeronautical
Nautical/Hydrographic
Topographical/Terrestrial
Precise Positioning & Targeting
Geodesy & Geophysics
Geographic Names
GEOINT Analysis.
Geospatial Analysis ~CORRECT 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: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Imagery
Imagery Intelligence
Geospatial Information
Sensor Phenomenology ~CORRECT 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 ~CORRECT 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: ~CORRECT
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 ~CORRECT 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 ~CORRECT 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) ~CORRECT 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) ~CORRECT
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 ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Gathering of information about an
object by means of a sensor at some distance from that object.
Foundational Imagery Processes: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓Triangulation
GEOINT Processing and Exploitation
