Q

What are the types of reconnaissance and surveillance tasks?

A

TIMES FIA

Targeting objectives
Indicators and warnings
Monitor enemy activity
Enemy order of battle
Situation development

Force protection
Intelligence preparation of the environment
Assessments

17
Q

What is targeting objectives?

A

Detection, location, identification and analysis of potential targets

18
Q

What are indicators and warnings?

A

Assess an enemies offensive and defensive force capabilities

19
Q

What is Monitor enemy activity?

A

To provide commanders with informationto aid planning by continuously monitoring enemy activity.

20
Q

What is enemy order of battle?

A

Use intelligence to estimate enemy capabilites, limitations, vulnerabilites and intentions.

21
Q

What is situation development?

A

Collection of critical information needed to assess the current situation. Aids commander to confirm accuracy of IPOE, EOB and reduce uncertainty.

22
Q

What is Force protection?

A

To guard the force against the effects of enemy actions.

23
Q

What is intelligence preparation of the environment?

A

Systematic, continuous analysis of the enemy and battlespace environments.

24
Q

What are Assessments?

A

Battle damage assessment ie the success of a military operation

25
Q

In tasking, what are the 5 principles?

A

WHERE to collect
WHAT effect is required
WHEN is collection required and for how long
WHEN is the product required
WHAT is the required format for the product and who needs it

26
Q

What are the requirements of an effective ISR system?

A

CARTSSS

Continuous coverage
Accuracy
Reliability
Timeliness
Suitability
Survivability
Standardisation (intelligence needs to be reported in a suitable format)
27
Q

What are the considerations when selecting an ISR asset?

A

ACVPH

Availability
Capability
Vulnerability
Performance & history

28
Q

What are the stages of the process stage within the ISR process?

A

Collation

Evalutation

29
Q

What are the stages of the Exploit process within the ISR Process?

A

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

30
Q

What is the purpose of the Disseminate stage within the ISR Process?

A

Timely provision of the information to those who need it, in the requested format and through the communication means specified in the task stage (Graphical, Textual or Voice).

31
Q

What are the 5 key principles of the Disseminate stage of the ISR Process?

A

Timeliness
Appropriate - optimal format
Urgency
Distribution - via sutiable means to those who need it
Security - appropriate protective marking/access

32
Q

What are the key principles of the Feedback stage of the ISR Process?

A

2 way
Strive to improve the process
Can’t always happen
Difficult to do Measure of Effectiveness without Feedback
