十多年来,美国海军也和其他军兵种一样,一直在利用美空军发射的侦察卫星来监视海岸和海上目标,监视海军基地及机场上的兵力活动情况。例如,海军曾使用第三代照相侦察卫星监视作战海区和跟踪海面舰艇,以制订登陆战役计划。海军还对海岸线和水深在20米以内的近海水域进行了照相侦察。 For more than a decade, the United States Navy has been using its reconnaissance satellites launched by the U.S. Air Force to monitor coastal and maritime targets, as well as other military branches, and to monitor the movement of troops at naval bases and airports. For example, the Navy used the third generation of photo-reconnaissance satellites to monitor the sea of ​​operations and track the surface ships in order to prepare a landing campaign plan. The Navy also conducted photographic reconnaissance of coastlines and offshore waters within a depth of 20 meters.
