Which choice below is NOT an accurate description or element of

remote sensing technology?

A.
RS intelligence may be integrated into geographic information systems (GIS) to produce mapbased products

B.
Photographic, radar, infrared, or multi-spectral imagery from landbased tracking stations

C.
Photographic, radar, infrared, or multi-spectral imagery from geostationary or orbiting satellites

D.
Photographic, radar, infrared, or multi-spectral imagery from manned or unmanned aircraft

Explanation:
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information via aerial or
satellite sensors. The most critical category of information to capture
immediately following a disaster is accurate and timely intelligence
about the scope, extent, and impact of the event. Intelligent
and effective decisions hinge on the credible characterization of the
situation. If the disaster is extensive enough, it may cause serious
damage to the telephone or wireless infrastructure and ground
communications may be unusable to accurately assess the situation.
Remote sensing systems can provide a highly effective alternative
means of gathering intelligence about the event.
*Answer “Photographic, radar, infrared, or multi-spectral imagery from manned or unmanned
aircraft” describes remote sensing using aerial-derived information.
*Answer “Photographic, radar, infrared, or multi-spectral imagery from geostationary or orbiting
satellites” describes satellite-derived remote sensing.
*Answer “RS intelligence may be integrated into geographic information systems (GIS) to produce
map-based products” describes a common use of the remote sensing data. Source: Remote
