Military reconnaissance application of high-resolution optical satellite remote sensing

As the remote sensing technology transformation from military use to civil use becomes deeper and faster, the resolution is better and better, and the relative techniques of the civil optical remote sensing satellite are richer and richer. So, modes such as civil use replacing military use, civil use covering military use, and civil use supporting military use are the real portraiture of high-resolution optical satellite remote sensing development currently. Taking the situations of the Taiwan authorities buying commercial remote sensing image to military reconnaissance, and the so-called military establishments exposed by media using satellite image as an example, the military reconnaissance application of civil high-resolution optical satellite remote sensing is discussed. Then, the actuality and reasons of huge measure engineering and ruled configuring, environment and signs of military area, equipment and exercitation establishments and three-dimension information of engineering and equipment which can be detected easily by remote sensing are analyzed.
