NDP 2 Naval Intelligence - Naval Doctrine Publication Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB) is the systematic and continuous analysis of the adversary, terrain, and weather in the assigned or potential battlespace. The intelligence picture is formed from all sources in the battlespace, including dedicated force intelligence collection resources, national and theater assets, liaison officers, and units in contact with the enemy. Intelligence plays a vital role by identifying essential and vulnerable adversary nodes, as well as by recommending those nodes that we should not degrade or destroy because of the intelligence gained through their exploitation. www.fas.org /irp/doddir/navy/ndp2.htm   (15075 words)

Ground Based Interceptor To limit the adverse effects of this environment on the interceptor, the defense battle management will distribute the engagements within the available battlespace; the larger the battlespace, the wider the separation, and the weaker the deleterious effects of a nuclear environment. Interceptors in storage would be used to replace missiles requiring repair or selectively removed for reliability testing. The interceptor, consisting of the solid propellant booster and exoatmospheric kill vehicle, would be shipped to the site in specially designed canisters using commercial carriers or government transportation. fas.org /spp/starwars/program/gbi.htm   (1739 words)

Mitre Corp., Offutt AFB, September 11, DARPA, Global Hawk, and Wetware : Utah IMC The ISR Information Service (ISRIS) Mission Oriented Investigation and Experimentation (MOIE) will develop a prototype information portal that provides ISR sensor data and ground station service accessibility to the battlespace internets: the Intelinks, the Air Force Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI), the Navy Network Centric Warfare, and the Army First Digital Division. Global Hawk is an excellent platform for this pathfinding research since it has no established TPED support systems today, and it's multiple sensor data types Electro-Optic (EO), Infra-Red (IR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) make it an especially rich information source. In FY01, the project will demonstrate the ISRIS concept using the Global Hawk UAV platform. utah.indymedia.org /news/2003/01/3533.php   (1739 words)

JOINT WARFIGHTER S&T PLAN -- ACHIEVING JOINT WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY OBJECTIVES U.S. forces must be able to positively identify all targets in the battlespace for all combat mission areas—air to air, air to surface, surface to surface, and surface to air. The CID need is essential in order for commanders to effectively field, at any time, fighting forces that can rapidly and positively identify enemies, friends, and neutrals in the battlespace; manage and control the battle area; optimally employ weapons and forces; and minimize the risk/occurrence of fratricide. To be useful for a direct-fire engagement, the correct target label must be correlated to a sensor return that is in a "weapon sight" (e.g., radar, laser, or thermal sight). www.fas.org /SPP/military/docops/defense/97_jwstp/jw4c.htm   (1739 words)

PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1998 Precision weapons will be directed at the enemy's decisive point(s) at the critical moment through "information superiority." Superiority, in turn, will occur through space, near-space, and ground-based sensing technologies that will transmit attack instructions in real time via a "system of systems" that links all parts of the battlespace. The current revolution in information technologies promises military leaders an extraordinary extension of previous battlespace awareness, information dissemination capabilities, and ubiquitous "smart" weapons. Weapons of war also reflect the dominant aspects of each era's socioeconomic paradigm. carlisle-www.army.mil /usawc/Parameters/98autumn/henry.htm   (1561 words)

All Systems Go - Vol.3 No. 3 Boeing is working across a broad range of products, both new and existing, to integrate the battlespace from the individual soldier in the field, up to overhead fighters and bombers and ultimately the high ground of the 21st century—space. A critical characteristic of the integrated battlespace is military jointness. Although Joint STARS proved to be the most decisive intelligence asset of the war, its effectiveness was reduced by the inability to rapidly get the information to the decision-maker, or the warfighter. www.boeing.com /ids/allsystemsgo/issues/vol3/num3/story09.html   (1055 words)

C.D.2. Battle Command Systems Operational Capability Requirements Battle command systems must be able to extend the battlespace in time and space; eliminate the time required to shape the battlespace; and facilitate full dimensional attack of the enemy’s center of gravity. Battle staffs must be organized to ensure the command process is sustained, especially when the commander must rest or in the event he becomes a battle casualty. Systems should also provide redundant, automatic capability to acquire, distribute, and process information even in the event of destruction of a primary processing facility, loss of an individual system, or in the event of isolated data loss at a particular node of a C2 system. www.fas.org /man/dod-101/army/docs/astmp/aC/CD2.htm   (1055 words)

Untitled Document In order to be able to prevail in land warfare, the Australian Army must seek to identify the factors that it is likely to confront in a modern battlespace—a battlespace increasingly defined by information networks, advanced munitions and lethal weapons systems. What is the future of the close battle and of the levels of war in an age of networks? In an era of early 21st-century strategic ambiguity, the Australian Army faces the challenge of meeting what the 2003 strategic update called an ‘increased emphasis on readiness and mobility, on interoperability [and] on the development and enhancement of important capabilities’. www.army.gov.au /LWSC/Publications/journal/journal%202.htm   (1499 words)

Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) Guided missile cruisers are concerned with anti-air warfare and have a growing capability for theater ballistic missile defense that extends throughout the battlespace. Voice: The exact make-up of a Carrier Battle Group has varied since the end of the Cold War but its mission has remained constant -- to gain and maintain battlespace dominance so it can project power. Friendly forces ashore benefit from the air defense umbrella provided by the battle group and is yet another facet of power projection. www.cadre.maxwell.af.mil /warfarestudies/wpc/wpc_txt/navy/cvbg.htm   (1499 words)
