Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)/Thunderstorm/Space
Abstract
This portfolio examines and explores emerging technologies to complement the US Air Force (USAF), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), DoD’s ISR Task Force and other interagency initiatives in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). In addition, the portfolio addresses the National Space Strategy objectives to preserve and protect the space environment with a focus on developing applications for employment by the tactical user. The flagship project for this portfolio is Thunderstorm, an enduring multi-Intelligence technology demonstration for the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), interagency partners, Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Services, academia, government laboratories and commercial vendors. Thunderstorm demonstrations provide an opportunity to evaluate and assess the capabilities of new, emerging and transformational ISR technologies, and related information collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) capabilities in mission-related, geographically, and operationally relevant environments prior to full-scale employment. Thunderstorm demonstration objectives, performance measures, lessons learned, post-demonstration assessments and data evaluation serve to inform future DoD ISR concepts of operations and remote PED capabilities.
