What is the National Reconnaissance Office vision?

• A. See it, Hear it, Sense it
• B. See it, Hear it, Understand it
• C. See it, Hear it, Read it
• D. See it, Hear it, Sense it

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how the NRO frames its broad approach to space-based intelligence: collecting information across multiple modalities to build a complete picture. “See it, Hear it, Sense it” suggests three core ways the agency gathers data. See it reflects optical imagery and the ability to visually capture targets from space. Hear it points to signals intelligence—the interception of communications and electronic emissions. Sense it expands beyond visual and signals to include other sensor data—radar, infrared, and other sensing technologies—that add depth and context to what’s observed. Together, this triad communicates a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to gathering information from space, rather than focusing on interpretation or reading of data.
