Aerial reconnaissance

Hi there, little one! Aerial reconnaissance is when special planes or drones fly over an area to collect information and take pictures from above. Kind of like when you take a picture of your toy from high up on a chair!

The pictures and information that they collect help people like soldiers, scientists, and even weather forecasters to understand what's going on down below. For example, soldiers might use aerial reconnaissance to see where the enemy is and how many of them there are. Scientists might use it to study animals in their natural habitats or even survey land for potential natural disasters like floods.

Aerial reconnaissance is really important because it helps people to see things in a way they couldn't from the ground. It can help us to learn new things about our world and keep us safe!
