09:10 Keynote: Isr In The Information Age – Learning From The Media

• Although Non-Traditional Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance is transforming the military’s information gathering capability, it is less clear whether operators and analysts have transformed their practises and procedures to deliver optimal effect
• The media’s experience with the information age offers significant insight into the challenges faced by modern military forces
• In particular, how do we generate tactical intelligence of value beyond its initial point of use, whilst bringing higher level intelligence to bear on tactical issues?
• Whatever the answer, Non-Traditional Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance is here to stay and will be an important part of any solution
