Ch.2 Review Flashcards
How does AF ISR institutionalize all-source PCPAD?
improving ability to leverage defense and Nat’l assets
What is ISR relied on to provide?
intel needed to understand adv weaknesses and key nodes affected by air,land, sea, space, cyberspace info ops
Acquisition of information
collection
Why do collection managers continuously monitor results of intel collection, processing and exploitation..
to determine if PIRs/EEis have been met
Difference between CRM/COM
crm- what to collect, com-how to collect
Concealed operation
covert
conceal i.d and deny sponsorship
clandestine
Quiet and caution operation
discreet
In response to user req, primary mission of most intel units
analysis and production
What is accomplished through processing and exploitation?
conversion of collected intel to usable forms
How is processing distinct from A+P
resulting info from processing has not been fully assessed
4 Phases of analysis + production, describe each
Integrate - combine collected data
Evaluate - eval for reliability, credibility
Interpret - compare to existing intel, what’s new?
Analyze - make assessments, i.d. patterns
Delivery of intel to users in suitable form
Dissemination
2 primary control principles of Dissemination. Describe.
Push - push info down
Pull - pull info from sources
RC-135U Combat Sent provides what type of analysis to war fighters?
Strategic
RC-135S has what type of sensors?
SIGINT, MASINT
Tornado Gr1A’s mission?
tactical reconnaissance
What NTISR resource can serve as a BDA tool?
Wpn Systems Video
WSV
Type of collection TARS system is able to produce?
imagery
Type of imagery can F-18D (RC) can provide
EO, IR, SAR
What other country uses ATARS?
Taiwan
4 factors operators must understand to successfully employ wpn system.
msn obj
understand enemy
know wpn system
comprehend threat
2 roles u-2 can be deployed
Stand off - tracks closely to denied territory, deep look
Penetration - permissive and nonpermissive env. to mitigate limitations
Define multi-discipline approach
sensors can compliment eachother
Define asset mix/redundancy
synergy
Define resource integration
collection req integrated with msn
Defines persistent surveillance
enables effective use of precision guided munitions, critical to denial/deception
Define dynamic retasking
changes msn mid air
TCPED part that refers to getting the data from the sensor to the exploiters
processing
Information is collected, process, made useful and actionable
exploitation
What does AOC provide COMAFFOR
cape to manage activities of forces and monitor all forces
4 teams of ISRD
ACF, TGT/TA team, ISR ops, PED management
5 of 11 responsibilities of ISR ops team
