SURVEILLANCE COUNTER MEASURES (CLINE) Flashcards
Surveillance Countermeasures
actions taken by an individual or security detail to identify the presence of surveillance, and if necessary, to elude or evade the individual or group conducting surveillance
Two types of surveillance countermeasures
Surveillance detection and
Anti-Surveillance
You must have a _____ to conduct surveillance.
plan
2 types of Surveillance Detection
Passive Surveillance Detection, Active Surveillance Detection
Passive Surveillance Detection
consist of target observing the surroundings to identify indications or instances of surveillance without taking any active measures. Executed in a manner that does not provided the surveillance effort with any indication that the target is being observed for a surveillance presence.
Active Surveillance Detection
involves specific, usually pre-planned maneuvers to elicit a conspicuous and detectable reaction from a surveillance effort, if one is present. - Counter Surveillance
Anti-surveillance
are actions taken to elude or evade an identified, suspected, or possible hostile surveillance effort.
- Elude, evade, or neutralize (GRD does not neutralize)
Surveillance Detection Route (SDR)
is an advanced method of surveillance detection that is performed to induce a surveillance effort into mirroring the target’s broad movement in a manner that facilitates the isolation of and multiple sights of surveillance assets.
The ultimate objective of an SDR is to execute sequential detection maneuvers that will initially identify potential surveillance assets and subsequently.
Surveillance professionals _______ psychological factors such as perceptions and biases and play on these factors as a form of applied science.
understand
_________________ depends on the target’s ability to observe his or her surroundings.
Surveillance Detection
Isolate surveillance assets for _________,
__________, and ___________
Observation, Retention, and Recognition.
Passive Surveillance Detection
consist of target observing the surroundings to identify indications or instances of surveillance without taking any active measures. Executed in a manner that does not provided the surveillance effort with any indication that the target is being observed for a surveillance presence.
Countersurveillance
consist of action is taken by a third party (other than the target or the targets detail) to detect the presence of surveillance on the target.
- Most sophisticated and effective method of surveillance detection.
- Allows the target to travel in a more natural manner.
Surveillance Vulnerabilities
Transitions stages,
Restrictive Terrain
Transitions stages
present challenges to the surveillance effort from the standpoint of maintaining contact with the target while avoiding detection.
Restrictive Terrain
Traffic Hazards/Options, Choke points, Canalized Terrain, Intrusion points, Open terrain, Restrictive terrain (foot surveillance)
The more ______ the surveillance detection or anti-surveillance maneuver, the more effective it will be in achieving the desired result.
active
Covert surveillance counter measures are
executed discretely and are intended to detect or elude a surveillance effort without being recognized as active
Overt surveillance
countermeasures are intended to detect or elude with no regard whether the surveillance efforts detect them as such.
Key Guiding Concepts (counter Surveillance)
Be Inconspicuous
Target Pattern
Have plan.
Chaos theory
Isolation
is the incremental process that is characterized as a methodical effort to distinguish potential surveillance assets from the surrounding environments for the observation and subsequent exploitation as appropriate.
Purpose of Isolation
- To identify potential surveillance assets
- Employ as an element of surveillance detection procedure to detect or confirm surveillance preces
- Employed as an element of anti-surveillance procedures to evade or elude a surveillance presence.
Isolation Techniques
- Mirroring
- Transition Stages
- Restrictive Terrain
Break in Contact
allows surveillance assets to reestablish contact in a manner that isolates them for detection.
The most effective form of SDR
is one that incorporates a theme to make an otherwise illogical route of travel appear logical.
Surveillance Detection Points (SDPs)
are the theme stop locations where the target will observe for potential surveillance assets.
Analyze SDR with what 3 factors
Time, Distance, Location
