The International Monitoring System (IMS) established as part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) does not include :

  • A.Radionuclide monitoring facilities
  • B.Hydroacoustic monitoring facilities
  • C.Satellite monitoring facilities
  • D.Infrasound monitoring facilities

Answer: C

The IMS does not include satellite monitoring facilities.

The CTBT's International Monitoring System uses four technologies on the ground and in the oceans: seismic stations for underground tests, hydroacoustic stations for underwater tests, infrasound stations for atmospheric tests, and radionuclide stations and laboratories that detect radioactive particles and noble gases released by any test.

Satellite surveillance is not part of the treaty's monitoring network; states may use their own national technical means, but those are separate from the IMS. The other three options are all IMS components.
