Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system performance : evaluation using the analytical hierarchy process / by Rahim Jassemi-Zargani, Sean Bourdon, Van Fong. : D68-6/224-2011E-PDF
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems form the backbone of any military defence and security operation. These systems, be they ground-, sea-, air- or space based, do so by providing enhanced situational awareness to the military decision makers at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. Whereas traditional surveillance systems operate within one environment and at one level, current military requirements and technological advances have evolved to multi-domain, multi-level sensor systems. For example, Space-Based System (SBS) technology has been advancing rapidly in terms of capability, affordability, size and reliability. As in the commercial sector, defence and military institutions are looking to improve their space capabilities by increasing the number of smaller, more affordable and more capable satellites that are being put into service. Given the complexity this introduces, one of the current challenges in this area is to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of a given collection of surveillance systems (i.e., ISR architecture) to the military decision maker. This effectiveness can only be assessed by taking into account a multitude of factors – from geospatial and temporal to information and fusion, all of which combine to describe the military utility of a given architecture. This report presents an end-to-end method for assessing the utility of different ISR architectures from engineering-level simulation and modelling to the evaluation of military Figures of Merit/Measures of Effectiveness. As a proof of concept, a maritime domain awareness scenario is used in this report to evaluate the improved effectiveness of surveillance capability by the addition of an SBS to a current available ISR architecture.
