Aviation Operations in Support of Intelligence Collection

Abstract

Aerial assets dedicated to the role of intelligence collection are today in higher demand than any other period of history. While the capability to provide support at the tactical and operational level has increased in unprecedented amounts, the capacity of support has not reached a point allowing for the discontinuation of non-optimal assets to fulfill these roles. In order to solve this current shortfall, the Department of Defense must procure sufficiently capable platforms, solve the problems facing current platforms, and repair the process tactical units are required to use to gain support.
