Definition of Intelligence
Intelligence is both a function and a process that enables the Army to conduct unified land operations
Intelligence War Fighting Function
Executes the intelligence process by employing intelligence disciplines to produce intelligence products
Intelligence is inherently JIIM and leverages the intelligence entreprise.
Purpose of Intelligence (3)
Is to support commanders and staffs in gaining situational understanding of threats, terrain and weather, and civil considerations.
Intelligence supports the planning, preparing, execution, and assessment of operations.
Most important role of Intel is to support commanders and decision makers
Intelligence capabilities
All source Intel and single source Intel are the building blocks by which the Intel warfighting function facilitates situation understanding and supports decision making
All source is
More reliable and less susceptible to deception than single source intelligence
Better analyze/understand a situation
Answer information requirements
Support plan development
Army PED
Processing
Exploitation
Dissemination
When and where PED occurs depends on each asset
Check on learning
What is the main purpose of intelligence? (3)
Inform Commanders and decision makers
Provide situational understanding of the threat, terrain/weather, and civil considerations
Support planning, preparation,execution, and assessment of operations
Seven Major Intelligence Discipline
GEOINT HUMINT OSINT SIGINT TECHINT MASINT CI
GEOINT supports
Identify/ characterize targets
>vulnerability assessment, aim point selection
Collateral damage estimation/BDA
Mission planning
>ingress/egress routes, terrain characteristics, target/threat ID
Mission execution
>Id, locate tgt, threats,.., support TST, CSAR
Assessment
> characterize physical, functional, target system damage to tgt//additional collateral dmg//munitions effects assessment
6 general areas of GEOINT
General military Intel and indications and warnings Safety of navigation Operational awareness Mission planning Mission command products Target intelligence
SIGINT is
Derived from comms, electronic, and foreign instrumentation signals
..often used for cueing other sensors
SIGINT supports
Depending on the asset, accuracy, and timeliness…targeting
Useful to cue other Intel sources; improved by all source Intel analysis
Can provide intentions and insights into adversary physical and social network for future targeting
Near real time Intel for BDA
Key evidence of strike effectiveness
MASINT
Measurement and signature intelligence
Produces quantitative and qualitative analysis of data derived from specific technical sensor for the purpose of identifying any distinctive features associated with the emitter or sender
MASINT support
Provides locating data on a multitude of targets based on a variety of characteristics
Near real time intelligence for BDA
Key evidence on strike s effectiveness
OSINT
Information of potential intelligence value that is available to the general public
OSINT support
Targeting support dependent upon
> what information is obtained
>source credibility
>timeliness of information
Provides target id/location, BDA, morale,..
TECHINT
Exploitation of data and information pertaining to foreign equipment and material
HUMINT
Collection by a trained intelligence collector of foreign information from people and multimedia
HUMINT functions
Intelligence interrogation
Source operations
Debriefing
CI
Neutralize multidisciplinary Intel activities of FISS
Targets those entities that are targeting friendly forces
