The final elements in a Long Focal Length, High Altitude Standoff Reconnaissance system are the analysis of the collected imagery, and the delivery of the information to a decision-making level of personnel. Recent advances in both quality and quantity of remotely sensed imagery require that the analysis process be improved. Long range reconnaissance requires detailed analysis of small information elements. The required instrumentation consists of imagery support, transport and illumination, stereoscopic viewer, and graphic information transfer device. Much of the analysis equipment in use today is out-moded and cannot fully exploit the imagery. New and fully capable equipment is available and should be used to obtain maximum results.
