Assignment task:
We will use the same scenario as the previous assignment. We are a JAC Open-Source intelligence (OSINT) analyst. We are to design a collection strategy using non-literal intelligence collection resources. Determine how this collection could be used to address the following intelligence requirements and determine if Ukraine attacked this Russian airfield, the type of weapons used the battle damage to the facility, and impact on Russian operations.
Address the following tasks in this assignment:
Provide an analysis of the non-literal collection disciplines available to us and how we would use them to answer the intelligence requirements. For example, how GEOINT, ELINT, MASINT, etc. collection could be used to address the intelligence requirements.
Provide plausible examples of published or internet sources, or notional GEOINT techniques, and MASINT sources. For example, how ELINT could be used to address intelligence requirements.
How would we sequence collection for the best results? For example, emphasize the benefits of more technical MASINT versus timelier GEOINT collection?
Address any management issues do we need to be prepared to address? For example, availability, intelligence sharing, foreign partner collection capabilities.
What is our alternate collection strategy if we cannot get the assets our request? For example, initial use of GEOINT and subsequent ELINT and MASINT collection to verify.
