Define the terms Intelligence, Surveillance, and reconnaissance
Question
Answer
Intelligence
product resulting from the collection, Processingm integration, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of available information. It is the information about an adversary obtained through observation, investigation, analysis, or understanding
Surveillance
is definded as the systematic observation of aerospace, surface or subsurface areas, places, persons or things by visual aural, electronic, photographic or other means.
Reconnaissance
is defined as a mission undertaken to obtain, by visual detection or other means, the information about activities and resources of an enemy or potential enemy, or securing data concerning the meterlogical, hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a particular area.

Define the intelligence collection disciplines
Question
Answer
Imagery Intelligence - IMINT
is Intel that is derived from visual photography, infrared sensors, lasers, electro-optics, and radar sensors
Signals Intelligence - SIGINT
is the collection of all communications intelligence, electronic intelligence, and foreign instrument intelligence, however transmitted.
Measurement and signals Intelligence - MASINT
is scientific and technical intelligence obtained by quantitative and qualitative analysis of data
Human Resources Intelligence - HUMINT
is the Intel collected by people in the area of interest
The ISR process has seven steps and is continuous. To start the process a requirement for information must be identified.
Question
Answer
1. Planning
starts after a need for a information has been establish and validated; it is then prioritized among the other requests for information and is given the proper ISR assets for the ISR response.
2. Tasking
is after planning and is when the ISR assets are tasked to collect information.
3. Collecting
is the execution of the assigned ISR mission.
4. Analyzing
is converting information into finished intelligence through analysis and fusion
5. Disseminating -
Giving the information that is required for application in a timely manner
6. Evaluating
After the ISR prouduct is received, the user evaluates the product to see if it satisfies the requirement
7. Applying
The application of the ISR product to the mission.
