Explanation should include
- embedded and connected technologies used to generate data to enhance agricultural and livestock management (e.g., microchipping, tattooing, electronic ear tags, electronic collars)
- PA vulnerabilities to access sensitive data, steal resources, and destroy equipment
- threats to livestock health and safety (e.g., theft, introduction of disease, human, or animal attack)
- technology used to maximize crop yield and reduce labor costs and time
PA technologies can be exploited to cause catastrophic damage to crop and production goals. These technologies include
- GPS
- DGPS
- satellites
- continuously operating reference stations (CORS)
- RTK
- overhead imagery (i.e., multispectral imagery from satellites, planes, and UAS)
- VRT/VRA
- ground-based sensor collection.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How could manipulation of real time kinematic (RTK) positioning affect crop health or production?
- What efficiencies in practice do such technologies introduce? What are the risks of such technologies in terms of additional management and nontraditional, undeveloped skills?
