Eyes on Target: Intelligence Support to an Effects-based Approach

Abstract

This article explores the evolving effects-based approach and identifies challenges and requirements for effective implementation. It then examines existing or emerging tool sets that may help answer these requirements. Finally, it derives general recommenations for an intelligence system that keeps "eyes on target." If the utility of shock and awe has been limited by the issues that EBO critics note--and if those issues, rather than being insoluble, can be addressed by a refocused intelligence system--then an effects-based approach can become a critical enabler for victory.
