aerial reconnaissance

Technique used primarily for the recording and interpretation of archaeological sites from the air, though at times it can also be useful in discovering new sites.

In warfare, aerial reconnaissance is used to discover the position of enemy troops, fortifications, and armaments. Aerial reconnaissance played a key role in the discovery of Soviet missiles on the island of Cuba in 1967.
