Which is a limitation of Still Imagery?

• A. It provides a follow-up to determine changes or gaps in intelligence
• B. It provides real-time updates
• C. It has unlimited coverage
• D. It provides high resolution video

Answer: (B)

Still imagery captures a single moment in time, so it can’t show events as they unfold. That means it can’t provide real-time updates—the situation can change after the image is taken, and you’d need another pass or a video stream to see those changes. You can still assess changes later by comparing multiple stills taken at different times, but that requires additional collections. The other statements aren’t about the timeliness limitation: still imagery can offer detailed, high-resolution stills, but not continuous video; coverage isn’t unlimited and depends on the sensor and access.
