ISR Training course (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)
Military consultants insist that C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) lifts the fog in the chaos of the battlespace.
C4ISR systems are becoming increasingly important for mission success.
Fighting blindly is how past generations of military personnel were forced to do their jobs. Battlefield events were orchestrated with couriers, signals and radios. But now via C4ISR, the U.S. and NATO can combine enterprise-level IT and big data with the traditional command post.
By deploying C4ISR, the opaque conflicts of today are decided by who monopolizes the data as opposed to just weapon capacity as was the case in past generations of military missions. The endgame for C4ISR: If you know everything about your enemy and the terrain, you win.
When it comes to supporting military operations, history has shown that effective communication and information-sharing processes are just as important as ordnance, strategy and logistics.
C4ISR brings many benefits to an operation such as videos, images and high-definition of the battlespace.
A key feature is geospatial intelligence, which consists of live mapping from drones and satellites. Geospatial intelligence is employed to work synergistically with analytics gathered from local internet connections complimented by the input from soldiers on the ground along with a warning and control system.
The end product is that critical information of an operation is gathered from all environments (land, air, low orbit and sea) and passed on in real time or very close to it so commanders and their staff can make the best possible decisions.
