It is expected that you will engage in independent research and locate and use articles and materials from sources you locate through the library, internet searches, or other sources.
Required:
Describe the collection planning process and evaluate the potential problems that can interfere with effective collection planning and subsequent collection operations.
AND one of the following topics.
How do we learn about objects of interest to intelligence through matter/energy interaction: emission, reflection, refraction, and absorption?
Describe resolution, discuss how this applies to intelligence, and define the principle measures of resolution used to analyze and evaluate collected information. Describe how resolution is used to extract information from collected data. Provide real-life cases and examples. Address the concepts of resolution as they apply to imagery, communications, electronic, and human intelligence collection.
Please use the assigned course readings. To earn points you MUST demonstrate that you’ve read and comprehended the content of the material linked below!
