  1. Developing ISR Capabilities for the 21st Century Maj Gen Paul Dettmer Asst. Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

  2. Introduction • The challenges our national security enterprise faces • What we need from you… • 5th Generation Threat Counters… • Precision Targeting… • Information Fusion… • Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) upgrades…

  3. Traditional Challenges:US dominance no longer assured… Near-term Mid-term Long-term Near-term Mid-term • Advanced DRFM • Long Range AAMs • SA-21 • Hybrid 4th Gen+ Fighters • SA-20 Proliferation AIR • Chinese Manned Space Program • Revitalized Russian Mil Space Program • Emerging ASATCapability SPACE • High-Performance Computing • Radio Frequency Identification • Nanotechnology • Biometrics CYBER

  4. Non-Traditional Challenges:US increasingly ‘surprised’… Irregular Catastrophic Disruptive Technology

  5. Emerging Technology:Diffusion – technology no longer ‘asymmetric’ Globalization and commercialization of technology resulting in potential disruptive threats worldwide GPS Jammers Anti-missile Defense Laser Satellites Energy Directed Cyber Biometrics/Nano

  6. 21st Century ChallengePrecision and Information Synergy INFORMATION Age Warfare: Find / Fix is the biggest challenge… ISR is the “hub” of the 21st Century Kill Chain….

  7. Info Age Warfare Tenets: • AF is transforming ISR with a capabilities and effects based approach • ISR enterprise need not necessarily involve only “intel” coded Airman to be intelligence • Example: Targeting pods used for ISR taskings • A platform-based construct misses the opportunity to integrate, analyze and interpret information of value to warfighters / decision makers Making every sensor a shooter, and every shooter a sensor produces the capability, effects, and flexibility Info-age Warfare demands …

  8. Precision & Information Synergy:Abu Musab al Zarqawi Take-Down 2006 Planning Meeting 7 Jun 06

  9. Information Age Warfare ISR:What We Need From You … 5th Generation Threat Counters… Precision Targeting… Information Fusion… AF DCGS upgrades…

  10. 5th Generation Threat Counters Stand-off Sensors Stand-off sensors for ISR capabilities in denied areas Advances in Air-to-Air / Surface-to-Air technology are spreading… Increasingly in areas we need to gain ISR “access”… Range, reach, endurance, survivability, low observability must be present at the start of ISR systems concepts…not “add ons” after the sensor is proven…

  11. Precision weapons are no good without precision coordinates Expect 212,000 GPS / INS guided weapons by 2015 Can take 20-minutes to 3+ hours to mensurate each point What ISR needs: Automated point mensuration capabilities / systems Precision Targeting: Target Mensuration Korea (1000 ft) Vietnam (400 ft) OAF/OEF/OIF (40 ft) MK 84 class bomb, Med Alt

  12. Future moving away from fixed to mobile targets Example: Desert Storm “Scud Hunt” What ISR needs: Time-sensitive, time-critical, responsive flexibility… Automatic sensor integration… Automatic data base / pattern of life “tip offs”… Precision Targeting: Highly Mobile Targets

  13. Precision Targeting: Hardened and Deeply Buried Targets & Non-Kinetic Targeting • Assess Hard and Deeply Buried Target effects… • Even if weapons penetrate, may be difficult to cause substantial damage due to internal design • Often used for WMD-related technologies • Counter WMD without collateral damage… • How will we know it was destroyed? • Non-kinetic targeting…how do we do BDA?...how do we minimize collateral damage?

  14. Information Fusion:Wide Area Airborne Surveillance FMV - 30 fps WAAS – 2 fps MQ-9 advantages over MQ-1 2 x faster – more responsive 2 x higher – broader coverage 6 x payload (versatile: sensor, weapons) WAAS + ARGUS WAAS • What ISR needs: • Time-sensitive FMV 10x10 km coverage area 30 ROVER queries and 65+ simultaneous targets through Tactical Operations Center 8x8 km coverage area 12 independent ROVER queries growing to 30 MQ-1 Observe single target Single Rover / OSRVT FY13 Today IOC FY09 How do we handle the upcoming tsunami of data?

  15. Information Fusion:Instantaneous dissemination

  17. UNCLASSIFIED What is the DIB?DCGS Integration Backbone A common set of enterprise services and standards that serves as the foundation for the interoperability ofDoD DCGS programs • Web and Portal Services • Enterprise System Services (Metadata Catalog, Publish / Subscribe, Web Alerts) • Workflow Management • Integration Support Services • Security Services at Multiple Security Levels (Unclassified thru SCI) DIB is Key Enabler for DoD DCGS Interoperability UNCLASSIFIED

  18. AF DCGS Dissemination Paths Users • Tactical Data Links • TADIL A/B • IBS-I, IBS-S • TADIL J • NCCT AOC/CAOC/CJSOTF AWACS/JSTARS Navy Combatants (STRED) Army MI Bn/Bde (ASAS) • Image Products • Targeting Graphics • Video snippets • Target Graphics • Target Folders CAOC/ Flex Targeting Fighter Sq (TBMCS) Theater Intellink COCOM J2/J3/JIOC JFACC A3/A2 AOC/CAOC/SOLE RIVET JOINT • Text Messages • Formatted reports • E-mail • Instant Message • Global Info Grid & Networks • NIPRNET • SIPRNET • JWICS • NSANET COCOM/JTF+ below JFACC/AOC Wing/Corps OSS/Sq BDE/BN Ops/Intel Users All Levels Air Ops/EW Coord AOC/CAOC/TOC/TACC/CIC Army/Marine/SOF Units • Voice Nets • Voice reports • Landline / Radio • Threat Nets

  19. End State: Optimized Kill Chain < 2 minutes Sensor-Shooter integration: We must integrate all ISR data in moments, not minutes or hours

  20. End State: Optimized Kill Chain < 2 minutes Sensor-Shooter integration: We must integrate all ISR data in moments, not minutes or hours

  21. Take Aways … • Need your help to solve 21st Century ISR - Precision Strike challenges… • Must solve the problems of: • ISR vs. 5th Generation Threats • Precision Targeting • Information Fusion • The future DCGS
