Air Sea Battle Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Concept of Operations: Getting Back to Fundamentals
Abstract
For ten years the United States military, specifically the United States Air Force, has been employing ISR within a permissive environment against a nontraditional enemy. This mindset must be changed if the United States is to successfully employ ISR against more capable threats; mainly China. With China's advanced IAD systems, employing ISR in a nontraditional form as well as traditional will be crucial for a successful mission. Operating in a non-permissive environment will also change how ISR assets are used and how the ISR mission is to be accomplished. Decentralized execution will be vital in this type of environment and against such advanced threat systems. JIPOE conducted well before the commencement of operations will also be necessary in order to provide the most current intelligence to the United States military for the planning and execution of missions. This paper will address these topics in order to show what role ISR will play in a conflict against China as well as how to employ ISR successfully against a technologically advanced threat system. Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) will not only need to be processed quickly, but disseminated to all players across the battlefield in order for successful integration amongst the U.S. military
