A Strategies-to-Tasks Framework for Planning and Executing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Operations http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_reports/TR434.html 2007-04-08T10:24:00Z 2007-04-08T10:24:00Z To move ISR planning and execution forward from a fixed target and deliberate planning focus to one centered on emerging targets, we propose enhancing the collection management process with a strategies-to-tasks and utility framework. The Future of Air Force Motion Imagery Exploitation http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_reports/TR1133.html 2012-03-06T07:30:00Z 2012-03-06T07:30:00Z Commercial television production practices inspire an approach to managing exploitation of the Air Force's rapidly growing motion imagery collections. New Approaches to Planning, Executing, and Assessing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Operations http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB242.html 2008-04-13T23:30:00Z 2008-04-13T23:30:00Z This research brief summarizes research detailing a methodology for assessing the benefits and costs of U.S. Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance employment strategies. Exploring Advanced Technologies for the Future Combat Systems Program http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1332.html 2002-01-01T12:01:46Z 2002-01-01T12:01:46Z Exploring Advanced Technologies for the Future Combat Systems Program Employing Commercial Satellite Communications: Wideband Investment Options for the Department of Defense http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1192.html 2000-01-01T12:05:22Z 2000-01-01T12:05:22Z Assesses military use of commercial wideband satellites by evaluating their effectiveness across several characteristics defined by the United States Space Command. New Tools Can Make Intelligence Collection More Responsive to Time-Sensitive Targets http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB230.html 2007-04-09T07:44:00Z 2007-04-09T07:44:00Z This research brief describes three proposed frameworks (a ''strategies-to-tasks'' framework, utility framework, and probability framework) to better handle fleeting targets on rapidly changing battlefields -- all to improve ISR planning and execution. Virtual Collaboration for a Distributed Enterprise http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR153.html 2013-04-22T08:15:00Z 2013-04-22T08:15:00Z Addresses the challenges to team effectiveness caused by geographic diversity through an assessment of three modes of virtual collaboration.
