Reconnaissance and Surveillance Photography

Jerome S. Goldhammer

Current capabilities of photo-reconnaissance and surveillance techniques are neither as limited as commonly believed pre-Cuba nor as omnipotent as claimed in the lay press post-Cuba. Photo capabilities and limitations are compared with the performance potentials of other possible reconnaissance sensors, such as television, infrared and radar. Choices of sensors for specific needs are indicated, and growth possibilities are discussed.
