In the Al Faw case, the Brigade planners determined that an assault by sea or surface required reconnaissance of the routes into the region, clearance of beaches, and use of helicopters and other vehicles to land the Marines all of which implied the need for logistical support.
Synthetic aperture imaging[1, 2] is a technique to produce high-resolution reflectivity maps of a scene of interest, e.g., of the earth surface for reconnaissance missions[3] or for glacier monitoring[4, 5] using synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
This means China is expanding its air, anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-surface ship, reconnaissance, and battle management capabilities, to enable the PLA to project 'defensive' power out to the first island chain.
Saab stated the PS-05/A is able to handle all types of air defense, air-to-surface, and reconnaissance missions.
Reconnaissance surface geochemical survey for adsorbed soil gas analysis was conducted in Cuddapah Basin for initial evaluation of hydrocarbon resource potential of the basin.
From far above the surface, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been taking a closer look at radial patterns of "spider" gullies, as well as bright and dark fan-like features that appear in the Martian landscape each spring.
A fundamentally new scientific mission concept for remote planetary surface and subsurface reconnaissance will soon replace the engineering and safety constrained mission designs of the past, allowing for optimal acquisition of geologic, paleohydrologic, paleoclimatic, and possible astrobiologic information of Mars and other extraterrestrial targets.
Among other things, the current surface fleet needs reconnaissance assets with longer endurance; communications links that better support timely targeting of threats; procedures to optimally pair weapons with targets in a distributed environment; missiles with greater over-the-horizon range; and "deceptors" that can confuse adversaries as to Navy intentions.
However, surface reports and reconnaissance aircraft indicated the system did not have tropical characteristics, and remained simply a low-pressure system.
Operationally, the National Hurricane Center did not initiate advisories until late on October 11, after satellite imagery, surface observations, and reconnaissance aircraft flight data confirmed the existence of a tropical cyclone; by this time, Paula was already a strong tropical storm.
China now has a good idea of what is going on far into the Pacific, thanks to a combination of satellites, over-the-horizon radar, medium-range surface-wave radars, reconnaissance drones and underwater-sensor arrays.China has also been working on anti-satellite weapons.
