generate, visualize, and provide imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information
necessary to support national and defense missions and international arrangements
What steps does the Geospatial Intelligence Preparation of the Environment (GPE) accomplish?
- Answer: Describe environment influence, evaluate threats and hazards, define environments,
develop analytic conclusions
Function of GIS - Answer: The management of Geospatial Information System (GIS) data, and
merging with terrain data
What are the basic components of GIS? - Answer: Computer, software, data, and tactics,
techniques, procedures (TTPs)
Combatant command (CCMD) - Answer: They have overall responsibility for executing the
Unified Command Plan (UCP) in established Area of Responsibility (AORs)
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) - Answer: A U.S. agency created to gather secret information
about foreign governments. Responsible to support president, national security council, and
those personnel who make and execute national security policies.
,National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) - Answer: The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is
responsible for research and development, acquisition, launch, deployment, and operation of
overhead systems and related data processing facilities to collect intelligence and information to
support national and departmental missions and other USG needs. NRO activities provide
support to I&W, monitoring arms control agreements, access to denied areas, and the planning
and execution of military operations. They design, build, and operate satellites as primary
source of GEOINT collected.

, Aeronautical - Answer: Products for air navigation, pilotage, and planning air operations
Imagery Science - Answer: The technical application of remote sensor data for GEOINT
Source Analysis - Answer: The managing of partnerships and assets to answer questions
GPE - Answer: Used for development of predictive GEOINT
Risk Sensitive (RSEN) - Answer: an NGA caveat used to protect especially sensitive imaging
capabilities and exploitation techniques.
Sourcing and Citations - Answer: Used as justification for your analysis
Point Target - Answer: A GEOINT target type that will provide the best NIIRS
NIIRS - Answer: The National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale (NIIRS) is a subjective scale
used for rating the quality of imagery acquired from various types of imaging systems. The NIIRS
defines different levels of image quality/interpretability based on the types of tasks an analyst
can perform with images of a given NIIRS rating. The idea is that imagery analysts should be
able to perform more demanding interpretation tasks as the quality of the imagery increases.
The NIIRS consists of 10 levels, from 0 (worst quality) to 9 (best quality).
Because different types of imagery support different types of interpretation tasks, individual
NIIRS has been developed for four major imaging types: Visible, Radar, Infrared, and
Multispectral.
LIMDIS - Answer: Limited Distribution
Purpose of Intelligence Community Analytic Standards (ICAS) - Answer: Ensure, excellence,
integrity, and rigor in analysis and work practices
