Description
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance training (ISR Training course) covers concepts and architecture of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. ISR training also covers all related enabling architecture, technologies, standards, modeling, analysis, engineering, testing and evaluation. This course is deigned for engineers, technical professionals, project managers and analysts.
An overview of SysML, DoDAF 2.0 and NAF 3.0 architecture related to Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance is discussed.
The course covers ISR Overview, current state including limitations and major issues, overview of sensor technologies, over communications methods, data links, metadata, streaming, and security considerations, C4, Mission planning, data exploitation and fusion, persistent surveillance, wide area surveillance, CJCSI 3505.1 regarding Validation, Certification and Accreditation, Auto-registration techniques and video-based targeting
.
This Courses is designed for DoD and Nato and is restricted to U.S. citizens, Green-Card holders, and NATO.
