Accuracy refers to?

Answer 2

Error

Question 3

CE or Circular Error is?

Answer 3

The geospatial position horizontal accuracy expressed in feet or meters at 90% probability.

Question 4

LE or Linear Error is?

Answer 4

The geospatial position vertical accuracy expressed in feet or meters at 90% probability.

Question 5

For targeting, CE and LE should be reported at?

Answer 5

90%

Question 6

Combined CE and LE determine the?

Answer 6

TLE

Question 7

TLE or Target Location Error is the difference between?

Answer 7

The actual and expressed location of a target. TLE error is intrinsic to the sensor.

Question 8

CEP is Circular Error Probable:

Answer 8

The geospatial horizontal accuracy expressed in feet or meters at 50% probability.
CEP error is intrinsic to the weapons system

Question 9

HAE is?

Answer 9

Height above ellipsoid is the distance above or below an ellipse with a mathematically defined regular surface used to express a geometric model of the earth.
It was derived by using satellites to find the exact center of the Earth and creating an ellipse of 3,930 mile radius from that point out to the 45 degree latitude lines.

Question 10

MSL:

Answer 10

Mean Sea Level is a tidal datum that is arithmetic mean of hourly elevation observed over a specified 19 year cycle.
It averages out tidal highs and lows caused by the changing effects of the gravitational forces of the sun and moon.

Question 11

The CE and LE category 1 standard for targeting is ?

Answer 11

6 m or 20 Ft.

Question 12

GEOTRANS is?

Answer 12

a NCA validated program that allows converting geographic coordinates among a wide variety of coordinate systems, map projections and datums

Question 13

Datum?

Answer 13

A base reference for a coordinate system used to model the earth; there are two categories of a datum, Horizontal and Vertical

Question 14

The vertical datum that is native to DPPDB is

Answer 14

EGM 96

Question 15

Photogrammetry is?

Answer 15

The art and science of making measurements from photographs / imagery

Question 16

The basic types of imagery are?

Answer 16

Electro Optical
Infra red
Synthetic Aperture Radar

Question 17

The current imagery sources that can generate imagery used by the military are?

Answer 17

National technical means and the Air breather theater systems; Predator, IGNAT, Shadow, Global Hawk, P-3 Orian, U-2 Dragon Lady, E-8 JSTARS and Scan Eagle

Question 18

Metadata?

Answer 18

Metadata allows the community to search and archive imagery
It also interfaces with other applications in geo positioning
Most importantly, it provides geo coordinates.

Question 19

What impact does light, shadow and image angle have on target marker placement and why

Answer 19

Obliquity and error can skew the coordinates of an image increasing the search time in terrain recognition.
In mountainous terrain, adverse look angle and obliquity can be challenging
Shadows can help identify what you are looking at. Washout can inhibit image resolution

Question 20

Mono Imagery and Stereo Imagery

Answer 20

Mono Imagery is a 2-D representation of a 3-D world
Stereo Imagery uses multiple image captures of the same area and allows us to look at the same thing from two different angles
Stereo Imagery allows us to accurately determine feature height.

Question 21

Image Obliquity-

Answer 21

The difference between the reference elevation and the actual terrain elevation creating a possible horizontal error.

Question 22

Sensor location, altitude, look angle platform / sensor accuracy and ground track are all error sources for what?

Answer 22

Image obliquity

Question 23

Key features or characteristics to properly employ terrain recognition are?

Answer 23

North arrow orientation, look angle, lakes and rivers, roads and paths, structures and buildings, vegetation and sold patterns, light and shadow.

Question 24

It is important that you have all of the current digital point positioning data base DPPDB for your area of operation and purge obsolete DPPDB for?

Answer 24

accuracy and currency of the imagery

Question 25

The typical data size for one DPPDB volume is?

Answer 25

4.26 GB

Question 26

A DPPDB image covers?

Answer 26

60mm x 60mm

Question 27

You would use a segment that has a higher (decreased accuracy( CE and LE when?

Answer 27

the feature you are looking for is not on the current segment, has a raster burn through it, or unit SOP or COCOM dictate which ones to use

Question 28

The national geospatial intelligence agency NGA maintains and posts?

Answer 28

The Global Holdings List and DPPDB

Question 29

The combatant Commander for their AOR maintains?

Answer 29

The No Strike List

Question 30

When importing the Global Holdings List test file on to your computer or server?

Answer 30

It should be placed in the Images DPPDB filer on your commuter or server

Question 31

A PFI is a digital file consisting of a?

Answer 31
