	VI.IMINT: Imagery Intelligence
		The IC must move to all-digital exploitation of imagery, with access to cross-INT databases, while progressing to a "virtual" analytic environment, and funding must be increased to accelerate the procurement of softcopy (digital) workstations for imagery analysts.
		Intelligence must be there swiftly so as to be relevant to decreasing planning and execution timelines, and packaged in such a way that can be consumed by the user.
		Newer imagery types (such as multispectral sensing) are harder in terms of their type and the tasks that have to be done for exploitation.

	The Science of Imagery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Imagery Analysis is the process of recognition, identification and interpretation (analysis) of objects on imagery and the determination of their significance and implications in the geographic area in which they are imaged.
		The primary function of an Imagery Analyst is to identify objects depicted on imagery that are of intelligence interest.
		The role of an Imagery Analyst is to produce intelligence through the analysis of all forms of imagery and to disseminate the results of that analysis to a wide range of users.

	Commercial Satellite Imagery Matures as an Asset - By Patrick Clarke - Military Geospatial Technology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The imagery shown on the news is not from spy satellites, since those systems are classified; this satellite imagery is taken from high-resolution commercial picture-taking satellites.
		For the first time on a large scale, commercial satellite imagery was used to provide information needed to support a wide range of missions from intelligence preparation of the battlefield, mission planning, infrastructure damage assessment, as well as diplomacy and coalition building.
		Imagery from DigitalGlobe and Space Imaging is used to fulfill what NGA officials characterize as a âsignificantâ portion of their imagery-mapping mission.

		Nevertheless, based on the imagery of previous flights, Washington determined that the Soviets had erected a facade; there was no bomber gap or accelerated missile program, and Moscow was not planning a surprise attack.
		Satellite imagery during the June 1967 War proved useful in estimating the relative military strengths of both sides, as well as the extensive damaged caused by Israeli air strikes on Syrian, Egyptian, and Jordanian forces.
		Satellite imagery was again used to monitor the Egyptian-Israeli "War of Attrition" in 1969 and 1970, and satellite images also showed Egyptian forces were massing along the Suez Canal in autumn 1973, but this bit of intelligence was misinterpreted by the Israelis and Americans as an exercise.

		Before Powell had time to rejoice, though, his intelligence chief warned that an imagery analyst on Schwarzkopf’s own staff had concluded that what had been destroyed were not Scuds but oil tanker trucks.
		The damage could be seen all too plainly in the years that followed: in the failure to detect India’s preparations to test a nuclear weapon in 1998, for example, and in the mistaken bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999.

	Senators Seek Better Defense Imagery
		The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence wants to expand the mission of the nation's imagery intelligence agency so that it can provide U.S. forces on the ground with laptop computers that display still pictures and video of what may lie over the next hill.
		The panel's solution is to give the director of national intelligence authority to direct the NGA to "analyze, disseminate and incorporate" into its national system "likenesses, videos, or presentations produced by ground-based platforms including handheld or clandestine photography taken by or on behalf of human intelligence collection organizations."
		Last December, Director of National Intelligence John D. Negroponte gave the NGA responsibility for overhead, non-imagery infrared and space-borne collectors of measurement and signature intelligence, which involves sensors that, among other things, gather signs of chemical, electronic, nuclear or other radiations emitters.

		In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.
		Aerial imagery gathered from satellites, spy planes and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) have proven to be invaluable tools in military operations over the past few decades.
		This is especially true in conflicts where the media is reporting on ongoing operations in near real-time, as well as the fact that collateral damage has an adverse affect on operational support both at home and abroad.

		At the strategic level, particularly at national exploitation facilities, timeliness may not be a consideration but because the reporting performed here requires extensive research and analysis there is more attention to finite detail than is possible or required at the tactical level.
		Generally, the image resource responds to requirements for immediate identification of items of tactical significance, assists in operational planning, and provides a current, accurate display of an area of interest to assists the commander in employment of troops, weapons, and other resources at his disposal.
		Existing all-source intelligence reporting files and documents are searched to define all the information available about the target and compare it with the imagery.
