According to court documents, Zhao entered the Joint Interagency Task Force South military property, located on Naval Air Station Key West, on September 26 without permission "by circumnavigating the installation's primary fence line, and entering the military property from the beach."
Upon clearing the base's main fence line, Zhao went directly to an area that contains a range of satellite dishes and antennas called "the Farm," court documents say.
Zhao took videos and multiple photographs of the equipment in the Farm, the court said.
A US Navy video calls the Key West facility "one of the leading intelligence fusion centers in the world."
It tracks more than 1,000 suspect targets a day, the Navy says, turning intelligence images into virtual reality programs.
The center monitors more than 42 million square miles of the Earth's surface to detect threats to US security, including narcotics shipments from the Americas, according to the video.
