Abstract:

Sensor-collected IntelligenceSurveillanceReconnaissance I SR data have proven invaluable to both national decision makers and to battlefield commanders. Despite significant increases in the number of sensors, largely on unmanned aerial vehicle UAV platforms at both the theater and tactical level, demands for information, particularly to support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, continue to increase. The task force was charged to review the mix and balance of sensors across the spectrum with the goal of identifying gaps and shortfalls and to determine the improvements needed in the full cycle from tasking to collection to posting for all and subsequent dissemination of the information gathered by intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ISR systems.
