	Reconnaissance Summary
		They sometimes are referred to as "the poor man's reconnaissance satellite,"; but they can dramatically increase the power of a military force by allowing the users to know what their adversaries are doing from a vantage point that the vast majority of the world cannot reach.
		Espionage is not normally considered to be covered by the term reconnaissance, as reconnaissance involves uniformed military forces operating ahead of the main force, as opposed to non-combatant individuals within the enemy lines.
		Reconnaissance in force (RIF) is a type of military operation used specifically to probe an enemy's disposition.

		Visual reconnaissance assets were used to detect the transfer of Iraqi troops to the southern border four days before the invasion into Kuwait, which, according to American officials, enabled the CIA to predict the possibility of an attack on Kuwait.
		During the course of preparing and conducting combat operations, visual reconnaissance satellites ensured receipt of information on the location and movements of units and military equipment of Iraq's armed forces and...
		However, the current airborne reconnaissance fleet is unable to meet this requirement for four reasons: an inadequate force structure and lack of interoperability; missionized platforms and sensors; ground stations and datalinks; and finally, platform survivability.

	First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Photo Reconnaissance
		With the onset of trench warfare from September 1914 on the Western Front increased value was placed upon information enabling military strategists (most commonly local commanders) to piece together the precise composition of the enemy's lines.
		Necessarily flying at a low altitude in two-seater aircraft with the observer handling the camera - at least during the early stages of the war while camera equipment was being refined - they comprised straightforward prey for anti-aircraft artillery and pursuit aircraft.
		Photos developed from such missions were carefully studied for evidence of troop movements and industrial sites, the latter providing useful target information for subsequent bombing raids.

	American Overhead Visual Reconnaissance Systems
		In addition to the four visual reconnaissance satellites, pictures also being received from commercial satellites for reconnaissance of natural resources, such as LANDSAT-4 and -5 (the U.S. EOSAT consortium) and also Spot-1 and -2 (France), were actively used in the interests of visual surveying of the theater of military operations.
		The KH-11 and Lacrosse were developed primarily for conducting strategic visual reconnaissance in the interests of the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and, therefore, were not used earlier for operational reconnaissance to support the operations of the troop grouping in the theater of military operations.
		Such satellites will be able to conduct reconnaissance with less effectiveness (worse resolution) than modern satellites, but should ensure more timely accomplishment of reconnaissance missions in the interests of command authorities of the armed forces in the theater of military operations.

		He told the pilot of the second photo plane in his flight to follow me down in about two minutes; that he was going to make a low level oblique photo run around the island and that he should do the same.
		Photo results were excellent, however, one man was seriously wounded, two others had slight wounds and the plane was so severely damaged as to require strike after return to Guam.

		By 1939 such cameras could be mounted on their own, facing down from any convenient part of the aircraft, with mechanical or electrical remote control and with some form of heating to counter the intense cold at great heights which could freeze oil or frost over the lens.

	Spaceflight :Reconnaissance and Signals Intelligence Satellites
		During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union used satellites to spy on each other, taking pictures (called imagery intelligence or reconnaissance) and intercepting communications and other electronic transmissions (called signals intelligence).
		Versions of the KH-11 equipped with some infrared capability (later called CRYSTAL and now called by some highly-secret code name) continue to operate today and their images are vital to U.S. military operations.
		But the emergence of commercial imaging satellites in the late 1990s, capable of taking images of objects as small as two feet (0.61 meter) across, means that a capability once available only to the superpowers is now available to any country—or person—with a credit card.

	Low Level Recon During the Crisis
		Its design is unique in that it does not have a shutter which opens and closes, but instead operates on the principle of moving a strip of unexposed film past an open slit at a speed consistent with the apparent movement of the subject being photographed.
		The result is a camera which produces a continuous strip photo with sharp details generally unobtainable with shutter cameras mounted in aircraft flying at high speed at low altitude because of image blur caused by the aircraft's forward motion.
		On Nov. 10, photos were taken of Cuban missile installations with this camera and within 24 hours, they were being examined by President Kennedy.
