• Advancements in Non-Traditional Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
  Operations within Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years have pushed defense organization’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to their limits.Due to the nature of the threat being faced by international forces from insurgents, ISR is playing a greater role in this fight than it has in most conflicts in the past 25 years, and this in turn is placing increasing pressure on resources.
