Abstract:

Operations and intelligence organizations continue to struggle with how to best plan and employ assets with a video capability. Many heated debates have occurred concerning manned and unmanned, as well as, armed and unarmed assets. This friction caused the less than optimum utilization of these assets. In todays Global War on Terrorism, timely, detailed intelligence is ever more critical to mission success. In many cases, operational commanders do not conduct their operations unless they are assured the availability of airborne full motion video FMV assets. The thesis of this paper argues the Department of Defense must adopt changes in joint doctrine, terms, organizations, and processes concerning armed, FMV capable platforms in order to employ FMV capabilities with greater operational effectiveness and efficiency.
