Besoins operationnels en fusion en matiere d'information et de renseignement (Operational Requirements for Fusion in the Fields of Information and Intelligence)
Abstract
Operational functions related to action, reflection, and decision do not receive the necessary support enabling the full completion of the tasks. The dissemination of raw and processed information at various levels and the support of decision aid systems are crucial requirements for the operational world in the battle for information dominance. This support, which is deeply related to the specific needs of the operational entities, collides with the huge volume of available data, the diversity of the need, the different due times, and the specific constraints. The ever-increasing constraint of the operational tempo and the developing complexity of operations in the civilian environment increases the need for processed products and aids with a recurrent function of compiling objects and parameters. As human processing cannot achieve its operational tasks in a satisfactory manner, the complementarity of man and system is more critical than ever in improving the handling of operational situations. Fusion under its various forms appears to be the natural complement to the operational. Though fusion still has a long way to go, its major limitation is human, not technical. Forty-one briefing charts (in English) summarize the presentation. (9 figures)
