Q

What is MASINT? Measurement & Signature Intelligence

A

It involves using specially designed sensors to collect and analyse information associated with either a source, emitter, sender or receiver that isn’t collected through other means. It serves to detect, track, identify or describe the signatures of fixed or dynamic target sources.

Q

Name an example of MASINT?

A

Examples include the trajectory of missiles and rockets, artillery, lasers, radars, acoustics, exhaust, vapour trails and RF emissions. Modern artillery batteries are often equipped with counter battery radar which uses MASINT to identify an enemies artillery position.

Q

What is GEOINT? Geospatial Intelligence

A

Intelligence derived from the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information that describes, assesses, and visually depicts physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth GEOINT consists of imagery, Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and geospatial information.

Q

Name an example of GEOINT?

A

Think Google Maps!

17
Q

What is ACINT? Acoustics Intelligence

A

ACINT is intelligence derived from sound. Because of the nature of sound, it is primarily, but not exclusively, concerned with movement and predominantly involves the detection, tracking and classification of submarine contacts by active and passive Sonar. ACINT sources include hydrophones, geophones, Sonar and artillery sound ranging systems

18
Q

What UK forces aircraft specialises in ACINT?

A

P8

19
Q

What is HUMINT? Human Intelligence

A

Interrogation

Agent Handling

Meetings Observation

20
Q

Name the three intelligence levels?

A

-Strategic -operational -tactical

21
Q

Explain strategic intelligence?

A

Informs the formation of policy, military planning and provision of Indications and Warnings (I&W) at the national and/or international levels. Derived from information gathered across the spectrum of military, diplomatic, political and economic matters.

22
Q

Explain operational intelligence?

A

Informs the planning, execution and support of campaigns and operations within a theatre or JOA by a HQ

23
Q

Explain tactical intelligence?

A

Informs the planning and execution of operational missions on the ground.

24
Q

Describe the intelligence cycle?

A
25
Q

Who are intelligence customers?

A

Intelligence Agencies, Operations, Targetting, NATO, Others

26
Q

What does TCPED(F) stand for?

A
  • Task
  • Collect
  • Process
  • Exploit
  • Disseminate
27
Q

Describe the ISR process?

A
28
Q

Name the three typres of mission tasking?

A

Deliberate tasking:

Ad-hoc tasking

Dynamic tasking

29
Q

TCPED(F) TASK -

Types of Reconnaissance and Surveillance Tasks, name 2?

A

Indicators & Warnings – assess an enemy’s offensive and defensive force capabilities and other factors that may affect plans and operations.

Intelligence Preparation of the Environment – systematic, continuous analysis of the enemy and battlespace environment to provide information to identify enemy centres of gravity, strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, intentions and critical vulnerabilities.

Enemy Order of Battle – provides information to intelligence staffs for integration with other information to develop EOB. These used to prepare an Intelligence estimate which details enemy capabilities, limitations, vulnerabilities and intentions.

Situation Development – collection of critical information needed to assess the current situation and confirm or deny enemy courses of action predicted by IPoE. Helps the commander to refine understanding of the battlespace, identify EOBs, force dispositions and monitor enemy activity to reduce uncertainty and risk.

Monitor enemy Activity – during times of crisis to provide commanders with information to aid in planning deployments. During war, to continuously monitor the enemy to determine situation, force posture and dispositions relative to friendly forces and to measure reaction to friendly combat operations.

Force Protection – security measures, collection activities and defensive operations to guard the force against the effects of enemy actions. Also supports the broader intelligence force protection mission by helping to identify, locate and counter enemy intelligence collection, sabotage, subversion and terrorism capabilities.

Targeting Objectives – Detection, location, identification and analysis of potential targets.

Assessments – Battle Damage Assessment, for example, can provide information on the success of military operations and the need for follow-up or new operations.

WHERE to collect

WHAT effect is required

WHEN is collect required and for how long

WHEN is the product required

WHAT is the required format for the product and who needs it

30
Q

TCPED(F) - COLLECT

Requirements of an effective ISR system?

A

Timeliness

Accuracy

Survivability

Reliability

Suitability

Standardisation

Continuous Coverage

31
Q

TCPED(F) - EXPLOIT

What is the explot process for?

A

Getting data and information ready for:

Evaluation - For intelligence potential

Analysis - Reviewed for significant facts

Integration - Fed into intelligence picture

Interpretation - Evaluated within broader intelligence picture

Finished product / output - Ready for dissemination

32
Q

TCPED(F) - DISSEMINATE

5 key principals of disseminate?

A

Timeliness – timely conveyance of finished product

Appropriate – product in optimal format

Urgency – is the product urgent?

Distribution – via suitable means to those who need it

Security – appropriate protective marking / access

33
Q

How long is the planning cycle on OPs?

A

3 days (72 hrs)
