While net enabled databases provide an alternate method of ISR data dissemination and exploitation, the ramifications for ISR system management may be significant. Heretofore, only those units directly in contact with the priority commander and the sensor were capable of requesting dynamic collection requirements. The CSD, as a “network enabled” database, allows a wider population of commands and units to receive and employ both exploited and “raw” ISR information. This could result in an unmanageable number of changes routing directly from multiple requesting units to the sensor. For this reason, a clear chain of command and well-defined priorities are essential to the efficient management of ISR systems.

TCM and LOs Meeting for Allocation and Tasking of ISR Assets As the command point of contact (POC) for ISR management, the TCM must be familiar with the basic requirements, capabilities and limitations of each of the assigned ISR systems. The TCM is also the primary POC for the integration of ISR systems into the commander’s CCIRM and targeting processes.

Sensor planning tools are not currently available to the TCM for the coordinated planning of collection tasks. Problems associated with terrain screening and sensor maximum and minimum range required close coordination with system LOs. Further, placement of sensor orbits and collection requirements are not currently displayed against a graphical underlay. This limited the TCM’s ability to dynamically task ISR assets when the LO was not physically present. During the CAESAR SIMEX, the collection-tasking format was combined with a geographical underlay providing a visualization of both ISR system orbits and their associated collection requirements (see Figure 3). Using this tool, the TCM and other ISR team members were able to visualize the AOR and dynamically task ISR systems to pick up collection tasks when one or more systems fell out of the network. One drawback to this capability was the lack of real time information on the location and status of the ISR sensor platform. If for example, the JSTARS left station to refuel or was in the wrong part of its

Heretofore, ISR ground stations were treated as a part of a single ISR system. HORIZON data was used exclusively through its integral ground station, U2 imagery through their ground exploitation station and so forth. Any data or information that HORIZON or U2 passed on to other commands was in the form of annotated imagery or textual reports. With the advent of CAESAR, these exploitation and ground stations became network enabled in local and wide area networks. As a result, exploitation stations from several systems may now employ data from multiple sensors to provide detection, tracking, and identification of targets within an AOR.
