Book Assessing the Value of Intelligence Collected by U S  Air Force Airborne Intelligence  Surveillance  and Reconnaissance Platforms

Download or read book Assessing the Value of Intelligence Collected by U S Air Force Airborne Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Platforms written by Abbie Tingstad and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) capabilities over the past two decades have led to ever-increasing demand from warfighters. Commanders, planners, and operators across the U.S. Air Force (USAF) ISR enterprise face difficult decisions about how to best meet ISR needs at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Yet USAF currently lacks a consistent, quantitative, empirically grounded method of assessing the value that the service's airborne ISR provides-which is essential to good resourcing decisions. This report presents an approach to ISR assessments that seeks to articulate the costs and benefits of USAF airborne ISR in specific operational contexts. Though aspects of this may be applicable across different USAF ISR organizations, this work focused primarily on the Distributed Common Ground System and the operational theaters it does or could support. The assessment methodology is designed to be flexible enough to support ISR resourcing decisions at different echelons, yet consistent enough to foster feedback, standardize data collections, and make use of empirical analysis methodologies.

Book Intelligence  Surveillance  and Reconnaissance  Overarching Guidance Is Needed to Advance Information Sharing

Download or read book Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Overarching Guidance Is Needed to Advance Information Sharing written by Davi M. D'Agostino and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD has numerous intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems ¿ including manned and unmanned airborne, space-borne, maritime, and terrestrial systems ¿ that play critical roles in support of current military operations. The demand for these capabilities has increased dramatically. This testimony addresses: (1) the challenges the military services and defense agencies face processing, exploiting, and disseminating the information collected by ISR systems; and (2) the extent to which the military services and defense agencies have developed the capabilities required to share ISR information. The auditor visited numerous commands, military units, and locations in Iraq and the U.S. Illustrations.

Book C4ISR for Future Naval Strike Groups

Download or read book C4ISR for Future Naval Strike Groups written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group; recommendations for C4ISR architecture for use in major combat operations; promising technology trends; and an examination of organizational improvements that can enable the recommended architecture.

Book Capability Planning and Analysis to Optimize Air Force Intelligence  Surveillance  and Reconnaissance Investments

Download or read book Capability Planning and Analysis to Optimize Air Force Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Investments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities have expanded situation awareness for U.S. forces, provided for more precise combat effects, and enabled better decision making both during conflicts and in peacetime, and reliance on ISR capabilities is expected to increase in the future. ISR capabilities are critical to 3 of the 12 Service Core Functions of the U.S. Air Force: namely, Global Integrated ISR (GIISR) and the ISR components of Cyberspace Superiority and Space Superiority, and contribute to all others. In response to a request from the Air Force for ISR and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, the National Research Council formed the Committee on Examination of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Capability Planning and Analysis (CP&A) Process. In this report, the committee reviews the current approach to the Air Force corporate planning and programming process for ISR capability generation; examines carious analytical methods, processes, and models for large-scale, complex domains like ISR; and identifies the best practices for the Air Force. In Capability Planning and Analysis to Optimize Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Investments, the current approach is analyzed and the best practices for the Air Force corporate planning and programming processed for ISR are recommended. This report also recommends improvements and changes to existing analytical tools, methods, roles and responsibilities, and organization and management that would be required to ensure the Air Force corporate planning and programming process for ISR is successful in addressing all Joint, National, and Coalition partner's needs.

Book Remote Detection and Maritime Pollution

Download or read book Remote Detection and Maritime Pollution written by Stephane Le Floch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detection of marine pollution requires a scientific and operational response to identify contaminants, chemicals and hydrocarbons, and to support contrasting observations. Remote Detection and Maritime Pollution originates from the proceedings of CEDRE Information Day, held on October 13, 2016 in Brest, France. Containing four parts encompassing 13 chapters, this book explores remote detection channels for the multiform marine pollutions of today and of the future. With a focus on transatlantic cooperation, it covers remote detection sensors, the state of the art of maritime surveillance with regard to the interests of national and international authorities, the benefits of response strategy, and geophysical exploration. Future vectors (airplanes, drones, satellites, among others) and sensors (radar, optical, hyperspectral and so on) are also studied. This book is a valuable resource for practical solutions for marine authorities, industries (chemical, energy, aerospace, petroleum, shipping), lawyers and scientists.

Book Airborne Intelligence  Surveillance  and Reconnaissance

Download or read book Airborne Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance written by United States Army Command and General S and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines the utility of implementing the mission command philosophy in airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. This study begins by examining Helmuth Von Moltke's views on the exercise of disciplined initiative in battle. Brian Lawson's design problem model provides a framework for analyzing constraints as a source of friction. Confederate calvaryman J.E.B. Stuart's Gettysburg saga provides a vehicle for mission command analysis, given similiarities between Civil War cavarly reconnaissance and modern airborne ISR operations. This study also focuses on the pursuit of airborne reconnaissance support by World War I artillerymen, whose views on organic control echo current dialogue on UAS employment. This monograph concludes by assessing the potential impact of enhanced implementation of the mission command philosophy on theater airborne ISR effectiveness.
