A Strategies-to-Tasks Framework for Planning and Executing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Operations

By Carl Rhodes

To move ISR planning and execution forward from a fixed target and deliberate planning focus to one centered on emerging targets, we propose enhancing collection management with a strategies-to-tasks and utility framework. By linking collection targets to operational tasks, objectives, and commander guidance with relative utilities, planning for the daily intelligence collections and real-time retasking for ad hoc ISR targets could be enhanced.
