GEOINT - ANSWERExploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the earth Components of GEOINT - ANSWERImagery IMINT Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Overview - ANSWERproduced by space-based national intelligence reconnaissance systems, satellites, airborne platforms; used to update GEOINT foundational data; electronic still or motion formats IMINT Overview - ANSWERtechnical, geographic, and intelligence information derived through interpretation or analysis of imagery and collateral material Geospatial Information Overview - ANSWERgeographic location and characteristics of natural or constructed features and boundaries Components of GEOINT--Imagery - ANSWERproducts produced by space-based national intelligence systems, updates GEOINT foundational data, GEOINTs primary source when exploited through IMINT, still or motion formats Components of GEOINT--IMINT - ANSWERproduct resulting from processing and exploiting raw imagery; derived from EO/IR/multi-spectral, and laser sensors; results used in all-source products Components of GEOINT--Geospatial - ANSWERprovides analyst with detailed statistical data regarding location and features of object on earth; basic framework for visualizing the operational environment; includes maps, charts, publications, databases. EO Sensor - ANSWERprovides digital imagery in the IR, visible, and ultra-violet spectrum; provides high level of detail, affected by weather, cannot image at night IR Sensor - ANSWEReffective during periods of limited visibility; detect ongoing and past action based on residual thermal effects Spectral Sensor - ANSWERdetects/locates objects with a known signature; uses discrete spectral bands; typically in IR/visible region RADAR Sensor - ANSWERprovides all-weather imaging capabilities; primary nigh capability; images created from reflected energy in RF band
