MCIA PED GPC-F Study Guide (All Lessons) -
Questions With Correct Solutions
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
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).
,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
Imagery Correlation
Orthorectification
Mosaic/Image Stitching
Stereoscopy
Data Science Correct Answer - The process of extracting
knowledge from large volumes of data that are structured or
unstructured, which is a continuation of data mining and predictive
analysis.
