Q

Collection Requirements Management (CRM)

A
  • Development and control of collection, processing, exploitation, and/or reporting requirements resulting in:
    1. direct tasking of assets of which the collection manager has authority
  • or-
    1. The generation of tasking requests to collection management authorities
  • Defines what intelligence systems must collect
  • Develops SIR/SOR sets from teh consolidated, validated, and prioritized list of PIR/IR, CDRs intent, objectives, and the current situation

Q

Collection Operations Management (COM)

A
  • Direction, scheduling, and control of specific collection operations and associated processing, exploitation, and reporting resources
  • Includes the selection and tasking of specific assets and sensors
  • COM process develops details to specify how the collection occurs
  • Synchronizes the timing of collection with the operational scheme of maneuver and with other intelligence operations: processing and exploitation, analysis and production, dissemination
  • Selects assets best suited to collect the information needed to satisfy the SIR

23
Q

Intelligence Synchronization is……

A

the “art” of “integrating information collection” and “intelligence analysis with operations” to effectively and efficiently support decision making

24
Q

Two Key Elements of Commander’s Critical Information Requirement (CCIR)

A

Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR)

Friendly Force Information Requirement (FFIR)

25
Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR)
- Usually drives a decision - Identifies the information about enemy and other aspects of the OE the commander considers most important - managed for commander by intel officer using collection management
26
Keys to good Priority Intelligence Requirements
- Asks one question - Focus on a specific fact, event, or activity - Are linked to a location (NAI) and time / event - Tied to a decision point - Indicates a LTIOV (last timely information is of value) - Limit the number of PIRs to focus Information collection Good PIR: time and place specific, asks one question, and result in supporting one of the Commander’s operational decision points
27
Friendly Force Information Requirement (FFIR)
- information the commander and staff need to understand the status of friendly force and supporting capabilities - mission, troops and support available, and time available for friendly forces - the operations officer manages FFIRs for the commander
28
Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI)
- critical aspect of a friendly operation that, if known by the enemy, would subsequently compromise, lead to failure, or limit success of the operation - EEFIs are not CCIRs but have the same priority - "EEFIs establish elements of information to protect rather than ones to collect"
29
Commander's Critical Information Requirement(CCIR)
- Applicable only to specified by a commander for a specific operation - Situation dependent - directly linked to a current or future mission - Focused on predictable events or activities - Time-sensitive - CCIR answers are reported to the commander immediately by any means available
30
Plan and Direct
-most important step due to limited time and resources. Commander directs the intel -Staff (S2/S3) -Research and Intelligence Reach -Collection Management -Establishing Formats and Standards for Products -Synchronized and integrated info collection plan focused on the CDRs CCIR and other requirements -Generating Intelligence Knowledge - Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) - helps S2/J2/G2 focus and direct the intel process - prioritize and validate IRs - develop collection plan based on gaps/CCIR
31
Predictive vs Functional Analysis
32
Collect
Synchronized to provide critical information / intelligence at key times throughout the phase of the operation
33
Produce
- development of information and intelligence through the "analysis" of collected information and existing intel - must be timely, relevant, accurate, predictive, and tailored to facilitate situational understanding and decision making
34
Dissemination
- Proper and timely dissemination is required to support situational understanding and decision making - Must be provided to the Decision Maker - Appropriate Format - Appropriate Channels - Command - Staff - Technical
35
Two Continuing Activities
1. Analyze - Predictive Analysis 2. Assess (ensure intelligence synchronization) - assess the effectiveness of information collection effort
36
Who Drives the Intelligence Process?
Commanders
37
PIR Development
Associated with a decision that affects mission
38
Joint Intelligence Process
``` Plan and Direct Collection Process and Exploit Analyze and Produce Disseminate and Integrate ``` Mission in center Evaluate and Feedback surrounds all
39
When does collection begin?
Collection begins as soon as mission requirements are identified.
40
What is the Purpose of information collection?
To provide the Commander detailed, timely, and accurate intelligence to support situational understanding and decision making
41
What is information collection?
An activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and employment of sensors and assets as well as the processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems in direct support of current and future operations
42
Information Collection Activities
-Commander's Input
43
Developing collection management tools:
Information collection matrix. Information collection synchronization matrix. Information collection overlay.
44
Describe an Information Collection Matrix (ICM)
Links PIRs to indictors, SIRs, NAI, TAIs Provides detailed Collection and Reporting Requirements Not a tasking document
45
At which part of which phase of Collection Management does FUOPs become CUOPs ?
At the end of Mission Management
46
What is the purpose of a NAI overlay?
NAIs help to focus information collection by visually depicting NAI Locations
