*Define intelligence
The product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, evaluation, analysis and interpretation of available information concerning foreign nations, hostile or potentially hostile forces or elements, or areas of actual or potential operations
FS:Anticipation and prediction

Timeline
Define surveillance
The systematic observation of aerospace, cyberspace, surface, or sub-surface areas, places, persons, or things, by visual, aural, electronic, photographic or other means
Describe reconnaissance missions
A mission undertaken to obtain by visual observation or other detection methods, information about the activities and resources of an enemy or adversary, or to secure data concerning the meteorological, hydrological, or geographic characteristics of a particular area.
*What are the 4 primary USAF collection disciplines?
GEOINT
SIGINT
MASINT
HUMINT
[A] FAT
Access: sensor ranges, FOV, frequency configuration
A [F] AT
Fidelity: image quality, emitted ID, IR band pattern
AF [A] T
Accuracy: coordinate category
AFA [T]
Timeline: Processing/exploitation, analysis/reporting and dissemination(PAD)
*Describe GEOINT
The intelligence derived from the exploitation of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth.
FS:Can be used to FIX, or ASSESS dynamic targets, monitor changes to order of battle(OB), identify new equipment or evaluate adversary force posturing.
*Describe SIGINT
Intelligence derived individually or in combination, from all COMINT, ELINT, or FISINT.
FS:Can be used to FIND, FIX, TRACK, and ASSESS dynamic targets. Monitor order of battle(OB), evaluate adversary’s intent, monitor weapons testing, determine TTPs
*Describe MASINT
Intelligence derived by quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical attributes of targets and events to characterize, locate, and identify them.
Exploits a variety of phenomenologies to support signature development and analysis, to perform technical analysis and to detect, characterize, locate, and identify targets and events.
FS:Can be used to FIX dynamic targets, characterize emerging technology, determine the composition of objects, and characterize WMD.
*Describe HUMINT
Intelligence derived from information collected and provided by human sources.
FS:Can be used to FIND, FIX, TRACK, and ASSESS dynamic targets, penetrate EMCON or covered targets, determine adversary’s intent.
