WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE IA training Goal: Create professionals that with interoperability, agility and flexibility can handle most if not all tasks given to them. Remember: Army and Air Force IAs share many of the same skill set requirements! WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE Sensor types In order to be flexible and agile while staying interoperable, our IAs need to be able to work with data from many different types of sensors. This requires competent ground stations. For now, EO and IR. Remember: The Army and the Air Force employ similar types of sensors! WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE The ”Rolls-Royce” approach For most Armed Forces, IMINT resources are scarce. We need to be able to do EVERYTHING. Reaching that level of proficiency takes time. WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE PoW for the near future • Enhance further: – National training programme – Cooperation with partners – A common ground station – Pooling and sharing, including reachback – Network Centric aspects WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE Vision: Coordinated Image Exploitation Capability • Enabling: – The distribution of all applicable tasks over many sites and IAs, dependent on time and context requirements – Full cross-systems and cross-command interoperability of IAs, with no loss in effect • Risk: – Psychological effects of the operational area entering the office – Not understanding the warfighters in our civilian midst
