WHY ENCRYPTED GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES - WE WORK FROM
GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES AND THIS IS HOW CRV RECEIVED ITS NAME.
THE PURPOSE IS TO IDENTIFY A TARGET AT A SPECIFIC TARGET.
HOWEVER, REMOTE VIEWER'S COULD KNOW GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES
BECAUSE OF PAST WORK EXPERIENCE AND THIS IS WHY WE ENCRYPT THE
COORDINATES.
SOURCES ARE ALLOWED TO MISS. WE USE A POOL OF REMOTE VIEWERS AND
TRY TO LOOK FOR A CORRELATION AMONG SOURCES FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF
TARGETS.
UTILITY ASSESSMENT - THE ANSWER IS ALREADY KNOWN TO US. WE CAN
DETERMINE WHAT THE SOURCE IS GOOD AT.
OPERATIONAL MISSION - CONDUCTED TO ANSWER A NEED. WE DON'T THE
AN~nR.,.
- A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE ABILITY FOR US TO
IN HUMINT, WE ARE ASKED TO FILL A GAP AND WE ARE PROVIDED A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DATA AND GUIDANCE SO WE KNOW IF WE ARE ON
TARGET OR NOT.
