Q

Target Area Of Interest (TAI)

A

an area or point along an infiltration route or a mobility corridor; point within a NAI.

17
Q

Collection Requirements Management (CRM

A

The development and control of collection, processing, exploitation, and/or reporting requirements resulting in either the direct tasking of assets over which the collection manager has authority, or the generation of tasking requests to collection management authorities.

The CRM process defines what intelligence systems must collect.

The CRM process develops SIR / SOR sets from the consolidated, validated, and prioritized list of PIR / IR, CDRs intent, objectives and the current situation.

18
Q

Collection Operations Management (COM)

A

The direction, scheduling, and control of specific collection operations and associated processing, exploitation, and reporting resources; includes the selection and tasking of specific assets and sensors.

19
Q

CENTER OF GRAVITY ANALYSIS

Center of gravity

A

the set of characteristics, capabilities, and sources of power from which a system derives its moral or physical strength, freedom of action, and will to act.

20
Q

CENTER OF GRAVITY ANALYSIS

Critical capabilities

A

those capabilities deemed to be crucial enablers for a center of gravity to function as such and are essential to achieve the desired objectives.

21
Q

CENTER OF GRAVITY ANALYSIS

Critical requirements

A

essential conditions, resources, and means for a critical capability to be fully operational. These may be such things as communications nodes, bandwidth, or financial resources to buy weapons or influence.

22
Q

CENTER OF GRAVITY ANALYSIS

Critical vulnerabilities

A

those aspects or components of critical requirements that are deficient, or vulnerable to direct or indirect attack in a manner that achieves decisive or significant results. CV’s are the equivalent to HVT’s.
