In about 200 words for each question answer the following:

How do we learn about objects of interest to intelligence through matter/energy interaction: emission, reflection, refraction, and absorption? Provide examples.
Describe resolution, discuss how this applies to intelligence, and define the principle measures of resolution used to analyze and evaluate collected information. Does resolution have meaning for ELINT, COMINT, or even HUMINT?
Describe the four types of satellite orbits and identify what types of collection are principally done from each orbit type. Explain whether intelligence collection by satellite is or is not considered a method of clandestine collection.
How does synthetic aperture radar work and what advantages does it have over optical imagery. What are the advantages of optical imagery over SAR? In what situations would you elect to use optical imagery over SAR?
Describe the three major branches of ELINT. Provide a real-life example (dates/places) of each--do your research!
