Aerial
Reconnaissance and Imagery Analysis (My
Other Life…)
The Cold War wasn't always cold for the reconnaissance
crews that were out there on the periphery and
flying other missions. Their efforts and sacrifices
in those dangerous days were instrumental in
delivering the vital intelligence necessary to
protect the free world. Those efforts continue
to this day, on the ground and in the air, against
the ruthless fanatics we know as "terrorists." The
adversary has changed, the methods are changed,
and the intelligence missions and dangers must
go on to meet the new and dangerous threats to
our security and peace.
My intent here is to
provide some historical insights to techniques
and developments in this key area of intelligence
production.
