The question posed is challenging‚ because it is difficult to choose which intelligence collection techniques had the greatest effect in accomplishing U.S. objectives in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan‚ because ALL of these intelligence collection methods—collectively—had an impact‚ and each technique differed in terms of the data provided‚ timeliness‚ accuracy‚ and responsiveness. Further‚ as we consider intelligence failures of the past‚ I am reminded that no one form of intelligence collection

Assignment B US Military Drones It is believed that United States Military Drones are one of the most advanced robotic systems in the world today. According to Historynet.com‚ it is estimated that there are thousands of these drones‚ or unmanned military vehicles and aerial devices‚ in the inventory and care of the US Military (Singer‚ 2011). Drones are mechanisms and technologies that can be used without the use of a human being inside of the robotic system. In most cases these drones are maneuvered from

These enthusiasts do not fully understand the risks and dangers of operating a drone and a UAS (unmanned aircraft system) near airports‚ and specifically not aircrafts. Even though drones have become much more intelligent by using cameras‚ GPS systems‚ and sensing technologies‚ they are still not perfect and have faults. Drones are used not only by

In a warzone drones can be equipped with different attachments and weapons‚ such a automatic guns and missiles‚ to carry out remote attacks‚ on insurgents or enemies of our country‚ without putting human operators of the drones in any danger whatsoever. Vehicles such as these can fly for very extended periods of time

The United States Army is heavily outfitted for combat in foreign wars. We are still one of the few nations in the world were every Soldier is issued night vision goggles. Infantry squads (6 infantry men) are issued a desert hawk (miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that can be unpacked from a briefcase and thrown in the air to monitor 4 city blocks from the sky. These advances in technology give the United States Army the upper hand in modern day combat.

Using global positioning system‚ a low-cost aerial camera platform accoutered with an auto pilot bridling standard point-and-shoot camera‚ the farmers can visualize brass stacks of their crops from software on the ground that stitch aerial shots into a high-resolution mosaic map. Not only affordable as compare to satellite imagery and crop imaging with a manned air craft costs $1‚000 an hour

Killing Machines A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle‚ an aircraft‚ without a human pilot on board. Its flight is controlled by a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. These drones are used for remote sensing‚ commercial aerial surveillance‚ domestic policing‚ transport‚ scientific research‚ armed attacks‚ search and rescue‚ etc. The most controversial use‚ however‚ is armed attack. These drones are MQ-1 Predator UAV’s armed with Hellfire missiles. They were first used in 2001 from bases
