  14. Irregular Warfare--Defined “Irregular warfare is a form of warfare that has as its objective the credibility and/or legitimacy of the relevant political authority with the goal of undermining or supporting that authority. Irregular warfare factors indirect approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capabilities to seek asymmetric advantages, in order to erode an adversary’s power, influence and will.” (Irregular Warfare Roadmap - QDR) Detecting and Effecting anonymous irregular threats dispersed throughout the human landscape…”irregular” versus Finding and Destroying distinctive conventional formations concentrated on the physical landscape…”traditional”

  15. Asymmetric and Irregular Warfare (Combating Terrorism) • Vision: Enable Naval forces to preempt and defeat adaptive non-conventional threats operating within complex physical and social terrain. • Objectives • ISR: • Unmanned Vehicles: Intelligent autonomous unmanned vehicles, sensors, and communications • Interior/Exterior Imaging: Rapidly reconstruct and fuse multi-aspect sensor data into 3-D tactical models of building interiors and exteriors • Riverine Surveillance: Common and persistent maritime picture on and below the surface/shore • Intelligence Analysis: • Image and Pattern recognition tools • Societal, cultural, and behavioral modeling • Biometrics • Active and Passive Forensics Tools: • Field-portable forensic tools, sensors, and sensor networks; as well as spectrally-coded particulate markers and probes • Advanced Countermeasures: • Dominate EM spectrum • Predict, detect and neutralize IED’s and P-IED’s • Deny adversaries the ability to hide among civilian population • Phase 0 S&T Key Research Topics Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Technologies Unmanned Air and Ground Vehicles Intelligent and Autonomous Systems Automated Image Understanding Information Processing & Presentation Social, Cultural & Behavioral Modeling Biometrics Nanoscale Electronic Devices and Sensors EW Attack Counter IED Non-Lethal weapons

  16. Operational Adaptation Definition: (OA) The ability to gain, maintain, or recover the tactical, operational, and strategic initiative over an irregular threat by anticipating threat measures/countermeasures and by facilitating the dynamic tailoring of friendly forces, capabilities, actions, and TTPs to defeat these measures/countermeasures. ******* OA enables domination of the threat decision cycle by facilitating the speed, quality, and capacity of the friendly decision making cycle. ******* OA enables shaping operations by facilitating the stimulation, limitation, or manipulation of threat activities…or by influencing the activities and perceptions of another relevant target audience.
