Evidence from Imagery: The Iran and Syrian Nuclear Programs
[Additional Video: Q&A session]
- November 6, 2008 [1 hr; Q&A 30 min; YouTube.com]
- Speaker: Dr. Frank Pabian
In this age of increasing "Global Transparency",
commercial satellite imagery has now made it possible for anyone to remote peer over the fence and view what heretofore had been otherwise impossible...clandestine nuclear facilities (most significantly, those capable of producing fissile suitable for use in nuclear weapons). The synergistic combination of readily available tools: personal computers, the internet, three-dimensional virtual globe visualization applications such as Google Earth, and high resolution commercial satellite imagery has gone beyond what anyone could have imaged just a few years ago. The down-side of all this is that those who want to keep their clandestine nuclear facilities and associated activities from being either detected, identified, and/or monitored, are becoming more adept in their use of camouflage, concealment, and deception.
