Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The effective use of airborne ISR has been debated for several years. Since Desert Storm, the majority of airborne ISR platforms have been dedicated to Central Command's (CENTCOM) theater of operation. While the other theaters have legitimate intelligence targets to be monitored and pursued, CENTCOM has been the priority. This paper examines how ISR has been used in different theaters, how ISR assets are allocated to the combatant commands, improvements made in how ISR platforms operate, and recommendations on how the platforms can be used more effectively. The Air Force must seek training opportunities with ground forces before Army and Marine units deploy to foster a basic understanding of how ISR platforms can support them, as well as ISR operators learning what information ground forces want. This needs to start within the United States military services, but the education piece needs to happen with coalition partners too. Establishing a level of trust and understanding before ground forces deploy will enable success for real-time ISR operations."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: "The global allocation process for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets is burdensome, antiquated and slow. It takes approximately one year for combatant commanders to determine what their intelligence requirements are, force providers to compile what ISR forces and assets can be offered to meet those requirements, and the administrative process to meld that information to present to the Secretary of Defense for approval. If world events change the Combatant Commander's requirements, the process is halted, corrections are made, and the subsequent updates are incorporated into the annual planning process. With current and emergent threats to US interests globally, Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) rely heavily on space-based and air breathing platforms to better understand the battlefield and to develop plans to execute operations against our adversaries. This is due to space-based or air breathing ISR assets being able to provide near real time collection, focused on a combatant commanders intelligence requirement, with specialists trained to collect and process the data gathered from these platforms. This is doctrinally how the Department of Defense accomplishes the Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment for Combatant Commanders. Demand for these assets always exceeds capacity. If new tools were developed to assist decision makers and the Global Force Management Allocation Plan (GFMAP) process was reengineered to better support the CCDRs priorities without negatively affecting the force provider, the collection asset, and supporting personnel in the process, it could become an invaluable resource for the Intelligence Community (IC) instead of a burdensome, bureaucratic yearlong process. Reinvigorating Joint Functional Component Command for ISR (JFCC-ISR) will require multi-domain personnel from other Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) along with integrated IC sensors, networks, policy and tools to make ISR an indispensable contributor to our nation's defense enterprise. It will require moving the entire process out of the J-32 and back into a JFCC-type structure to ensure "honest brokering" between the force provider and end user. A senior General Officer will need to manage the operations and people involved in the global strategic allocation process. If the GFMAP process cannot be reinvigorated, regardless of the reason, then it should be replaced with a time sensitive ad hoc system to ensure CCDRs are able to have ISR assets when and where they are needed. A reinvigorated JFCC-ISR and GFMAP process can return the allocation of airborne, cyber and space ISR assets to an effective and efficient process, given the right mix of personnel, management tools, appropriate governance and organization."--Abstract.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assist in moving intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) planning and execution forward from a fixed target and deliberate planning focus to one centered on emerging targets, the authors propose enhancing the collection management process with a strategies-to-tasks and utility framework. By linking collection targets to operational tasks, objectives, and the top-level commander's guidance with relative utilities, planning for the daily intelligence collections and real-time retasking for ad hoc ISR targets could be enhanced. When current tools are modified to provide this information, planners will be able to link collection targets to top-level objectives for better decision making and optimization of low-density, high-demand collection assets. Similarly, on the Air Operations Center (AOC) floor, intelligence officers will be better able to deal with time-sensitive, emerging targets by rapidly comparing the value of collecting an ad hoc collection with the value of collecting opportunities already planned. To handle the ISR demands posed by the rapidly changing battlefield of the future, this new, more-capable framework may be needed for making the best use of intelligence capabilities against emerging collection opportunities. Future research will focus on quantifying the advantages of this approach in comparison with the current process.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lingel et al. present alternative methods to (1) approach U.S. Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) tasking and assessment processes and (2) outline a methodology for assessing the benefits and costs of different ISR employment strategies. The U.S. Air Force greatly increased the number of operational surveillance and reconnaissance sensors and its ability to process data from these sensors in support of operations across a wide range of conflicts. However, along with the increased number of sensors comes an increase in the complexity of the tasking of these assets needed to prosecute either planned for or emergent battlefield targets. As part of the authors' research, they developed new assessment techniques and operational strategies to improve the command and control process for assigning ISR assets in dynamic environments. The authors also suggest tools to assist commanders of ISR assets in their decisions regarding allocating and retasking ISR assets. The report focuses on traditional target sets against adversaries whose behavior is well understood.

This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force, and more specifically the joint/combined force air component commander (J/CFACC), firmly believes airpower must operate under the twin tenets of centralized control and decentralized execution to be effective. The Cold War ushered in an era of centralized execution of airborne strategic intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations that bled into theater-level ISR execution in the 1990s and through Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. This execution construct, coupled with ISR reachback exploitation, has created a perception that theater-level ISR operations are not responsive to tactical situations. Physical distances between the operational environment, combined air operations center (CAOC), and exploitation units have fostered distrust and removed critical insight and ISR expertise from tactical level planning and execution. To maintain ISR relevancy at the tactical level, the J/CFACC must change its tactical ISR organization and execution methodology. This paper draws on well-established close air support (CAS) doctrine and organizational models to build new ISR organizational and execution constructs to bridge the gap between theater-level ISR assets and tactical operations. These models bind ISR asset, exploiter, CAOC, and the supported unit through face-to-face interactions and standardized processes that apply across any theater of operations or combatant command.

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 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations continue to perform a vital role in the war on terror and promise to remain integral to current and future wars. That our military can execute the ISR mission has never been in question; the challenge is the efficiency, flexibility, and agility of that execution. The U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (JFCC-ISR) is engaged in that challenge. On January 10, 2003, President George W. Bush endorsed the reality that ISR touches every mission area from combating weapons of mass destruction to integrated missile defense to small unit operations. On that date, he signed Unified Command Plan 02, Change 2, which gave USSTRATCOM the responsibility for Department of Defense (DoD) ISR. This responsibility has transferred without change in subsequent plans, making the commander of USSTRATCOM responsible for the execution of the global ISR mission, which he chose to do through the creation of the JFCC-ISR. To meet those responsibilities, JFCC-ISR develops strategies and plans; integrates DoD, national, and international partner capabilities; and executes DoD ISR operations to satisfy combatant command and national operational and intelligence requirements. A great benefit of the DIA location is the "across the hall" proximity to the Defense Joint Intelligence Operations Center (DJIOC). The two organizations are in the process of integrating their operations centers. The JFCC-ISR launched two ambitious initiatives to redefine ISR allocation and management. The first is a new ISR Global Force Management model that uses a mission-based approach to allocating ISR assets as opposed to a calendar-based one. The second effort is the ISR transition Team. On January 1, 2007, the Team launched an initiative to develop well-understood, practical, and executable best practices for operationally phased ISR support to the combatant commands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Kenney Reports is a classic account of a combat commander in action. General George Churchill Kenney arrived in the South- west Pacific theater in August 1942 to find that his command, if not in a shambles, was in dire straits. The theater commander, General Douglas MacArthur, had no confidence in his air element. Kenney quickly changed this situation. He organized and energized the Fifth Air Force, bringing in operational commanders like Whitehead and Wurtsmith who knew how to run combat air forces. He fixed the logistical swamp, making supply and maintenance supportive of air operations, and encouraging mavericks such as Pappy Gunn to make new and innovative weapons and to explore new tactics in airpower application. The result was a disaster for the Japanese. Kenney's airmen used air power-particularly heavily armed B-25 Mitchell bombers used as commerce destroyers-to savage Japanese supply lines, destroying numerous ships and effectively isolating Japanese garrisons. The classic example of Kenney in action was the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, which marked the attainment of complete Allied air dominance and supremacy over Japanese naval forces operating around New Guinea. In short, Kenney was a brilliant, innovative airman, who drew on his own extensive flying experiences to inform his decision-making. General Kenney Reports is a book that has withstood the test of time, and which should be on the shelf of every airman.

Book excerpt: This provocative paper draws upon the U.S. experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan to highlight key lessons for integrating intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations into military campaigns and major operations. The U.S. military's adherence to a Cold War-era collection management doctrine creates obstacles for ISR integration. This system of managing competing requirements as a basis for ISR operations has proven ineffective repeatedly in military operations due to the emphasis on collection statistics that do not account for operational realities. In the Information Age, strategy has never been more difficult or more important. Military campaigning is now a struggle among multiple hyper-connected groups to learn and influence faster than others. Because tactical actions increasingly have strategic consequences, military forces must anticipate how their actions could influence groups and how the actions of others could influence those same groups. Generating relevant intelligence has become increasingly difficult, as the demands for both precise action and force protection multiply. Modern technology simultaneously challenges and enables intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. It provides a direct connection between analysts and consumers separated by thousands of miles but leads to ever-changing sources and methods for coping with complex operating environments and compressed decision cycles. In the last 10 years, numerous reports have highlighted many obstacles to the integration of ISR in military campaigns and major operations. The root cause of these difficulties is adherence to a centralized Cold War collection management doctrine focused on production rather than goals and objec-tives.4 This Industrial Age paradigm is not agile enough to meet the challenges of military operations in the Information Age. A strategy-oriented approach that balances ISR ends, ways, and means will more effectively meet commanders' needs and expectations.

Book excerpt: The character of future international conflicts represents a complex and unpredictable set of challenges that necessitates a significant shift in the United States' approach to warfighting. Strategic guidance in Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense reinforces that -...the United States will continue to take an active approach to countering...threats by monitoring the activities of non-state threats worldwide, working with allies and partners to establish control over ungoverned territories, and directly striking the most dangerous groups and individuals when necessary. The U.S. Air Force (USAF) Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Vector-Vision and Enabling Concepts: 2013-2038 balances the effects envisioned in the USAF Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan 2009-2047 with the reality of constrained resources and ambitious national strategy for a complex world. More importantly, as a visionary document, the RPA Vector opens the aperture beyond current austere fiscal realities to explore art of the possible technologies in the 2013-2038 timeframe. The intent is to examine technological advances necessary to enable the Air Force's future RPA force.

Book excerpt: "For over a decade, the USAF has been looking for follow-on platforms to replace and transform the current airborne Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) force. The USAF has studied the feasibility of using space-based radar (SBR) platforms as well as large manned aircraft like the E-10A to meet USAF C2 and ISR operational requirements. Neither of these platforms met operational requirements and has forced the USAF to continue relying on aging AWACS and JSTARS platforms for airborne C2ISR. The current airborne C2ISR force was designed to operate in the Cold War environment and should be replaced with newer technology to negate new information-age threats. However, does the technology exist today? Can Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) or unmanned airships replace the AWACS and JSTARS? If so, what are the costs and benefits of transforming airborne C2ISR, and should the USAF transform airborne C2ISR now?"--Abstract.
