three types of air reconnaissance

Route, Zone, Area

________ and ___________ reconnaissance are subsets of route reconnaissance

Ground, air route

__________ reconnaissance occurs within defined limits. It is inherently restrictive concerning limits, or boundaries

zone

___________ reconnaissance attempt to obtain information on specific routes and all terrain from which the enemy could influence freedom of maneuver or movement along that route

route

________ and ___________ reconnaissance are subsets of zone reconnaissance

ground, landing zone

_________ differs from other types of reconnaissance in that the boundaries are loosely define

area

UAS air reconnaissance efforts should speed either ________ and/or _______

decision making, target cycle

Upon receipt of official tasking, the crew should initiate the ________ process to understand the "targeting information." commander's intent and desired end state of the supported unit.

RFI

The _________ is a standard method used to determine the probability that a sensor operator can distinguish a target from the background with a specific level of discrimination

"Johnson Criteria"

_________ is essential to conducting a scientific search of a given area. where planning time allows, these numbers should be calculated and briefed as part of the reconnaissance game plan

Sensor Footprint

_____ criteria are met when operators can discriminate between classes of vehicle a target belongs to.

Recognition

______ criteria is met when operators can discriminate between types of vehicles within a class

Identification

although the NATIP describe the optical zoom capability _____, it is software limited to ____ zoom

36X, 23X

Sensor optimization is critical to efficient target acquisition and is driven by a number of factors including _____, _____, _____, _____, _____.

target composition, atmospheric, target background contrast, aircraft stability, payload characteristics

The probability that a target is captured and displayed by a sensor is called _____.

Glimpse probability

______ hot is best used during the day time

white

_____ hot is best used during the night time

black

______scans are best used for conducting detailed search around a specific point of interest, including all avenues of approach

sector

_____ describe an area visible through a given lens at a given distance. _____ is the area you could view by slewing the sensor

Field of view, field of regard

The Vehicle should be flown at target speed, if possible, while tracking a dynamic target. Where the target is moving slowly, the aircraft may maintain position behind the target by flying ______

S-Turns

In any given atmospheric conditions, UAS ______ is less likely in busy urban areas than over rural environments.

Audible compromise

When tasked to reconnoiter a structure or compound, the AVO should first position the aircraft and sensor to produce a _____ for entrances, exits, or barriers at the base of the structure.

360 degree scan

ICOMC2 software uses pixel matching algorithms, comparing video from frame to frame to maintain the target in the ______

track box

There are four tracking box indicators drawn by ICOMC2 in the tracker panel:

Tracking locked
tracking partial
tracking unlocked
tracking box preview

A ______ scan is usually used to check the perimeter around a certain point of interest to try to find other objects of interest such as vehicles, people and other buildings.

rolling box

A _____ scan is used for large open areas

raster

True / False: IR tracking is often preferred over EO tracking

true

___________ is the continual process of maintaining awareness of the area surrounding the target

Target Area sanitization

Detection concerns. consider the following when selecting DRP ranges:
- _____ describes a situation where the supported unit is not concerned with detection
- _____ describes a situation where the supported unit would like to have a good picture quality, but still requires the UAS to minimize the chance of detection
- _____ refers to a situation where the supported unit is willing to sacrifice picture quality for the ability of the UAS to remain undetected while on station.
