GPC F ACTUAL FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A+
✔✔Maritime Analysis - ✔✔A GEOINT tradecraft involving acquisition, analysis,
compilation, and dissemination of maritime safety information to populate and update
nautical databases to support the Digital Nautical Chart, hardcopy charts, digital
publications, and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems. Marine Analysts
generate mission specific datasets, promulgate worldwide navigational warnings, and
respond to queries from foreign hydrographic offices and the users of our products and
services.
✔✔HUMINT - ✔✔Intelligence obtained through clandestine or overt HUMINT activities,
or operations and activities utilizing human sources or other human assets.
✔✔Human Geography (tradecraft) - ✔✔The art and science of understanding,
representing, and forecasting activities of individuals, groups, organizations, and social
networks with a geo-temporal context. Human Geography professionals gather, assess,
and evaluate source materials and ensure its quality and suitability to build foundational
data and apply knowledge and expertise in physical, socio-cultural, and political aspects
of countries, regions, and urban areas to support national security goals, concerns, and
strategies. This data is analyzed to characterize events, discover relationships and
trends, infer conclusions, and predict behaviors.
✔✔Foundational Analysis (Human Geography) - ✔✔Characterizing general patterns of
people and groups within the context of their environment.
Analysis is both exploratory and explanatory in nature, based on the data collected and
the area of interest.
✔✔Mission Specific Analysis (Human Geography) - ✔✔Aims to provide decision
makers and commanders with actionable intelligence.
Social patterns and understanding of key attributes are the goal.
Areas of interest or factors to consider are reduced and the mission questions drive the
effort to address initial questions and hypotheses.
✔✔NSG Senior Management Council (NSMC) - ✔✔Chaired by the GFM, is the three-
star equivalent functional management advisory council of the NSG. Members discuss
strategic, community-wide GEOINT issues and jointly address areas of common
concern. The GFM brings a variety of issues before the NSMC for review, deliberation,
endorsement, and/or decision. Commonwealth "Five Eyes (FVEY)" counterparts and
issues are included at the discretion of the GFM.
, ✔✔GEOINT Standards - ✔✔A documented set of business rules and technical
specifications applicable to all aspects of GEOINT and suitable for analysis and visual
representation of physical features and geographically-referenced security-related
activities. Developed, prescribed, mandated, and enforced by NSG Functional Manager.
✔✔Bathymetry - ✔✔Maps ocean floor and measures underwater depth
✔✔Hydrography - ✔✔Physical features of water bodies and land areas adjacent to
those bodies of water
✔✔Cartography Principles - ✔✔Scale, Type of Map, Reference system (datum type),
Legend
✔✔Central Tendency - ✔✔Attempts to use one value to describe an entire data set.
✔✔Dispersion - ✔✔Describes a data set by the amount of variation of the data's
measured values from the central tendency.
✔✔GEOINT Mission Management Interface (GMMI) - ✔✔Tool that houses the data for
the analytic resource planning and execution across the GEOINT Enterprise.
✔✔Trilateration - ✔✔A measurement of distance used by GPS to determine location.
✔✔TriAngulation - ✔✔Surveyors measure Angles between 2 known points to derive an
unknown point.
✔✔Imagery correlation - ✔✔Compares the relationship between different sensors and
physical characteristics.
✔✔GEOINT Processing & Exploitation - ✔✔Assessment, Correlation, & Conversion of
collected data into usable format for analysis, production, and application by end users.
✔✔Key Intelligence Questions (KIQ) - ✔✔Highly selective, require special operational
attention, and are current critical requirements.
✔✔GEOINT Operations Process - ✔✔1. Direction, Planning & Requirements
Management
2. Discover & Obtain GEOINT
3. Task & Collect
4. Processing & Exploitation
