U.S. military needs repository for all the ISR data it collects By Frank Tiboni, Defense News Media Group
But to get to a robust network-centric warfare capability, the U.S. military needs fast, fused intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems to acquire and transmit data, and a repository to collect it, said Jerry Tuttle, president and chief executive officer of J.O.T. Enterprises LLC, Nov. 21 at the ISR Integration Conference: “Shrinking the Sensor-to-Shooter Cycle.” Most importantly, all U.S. military ISR personnel must have access to this digital data bank, Tuttle said. “All sources of intelligence must be shared,” said Tuttle, whose company bears his initials. ISR is nothing new. Four decades ago, U.S. satellites detected Soviet missiles on Cuba, Tuttle said. Today, the U.S. military is using airborne systems to detect mobile targets as small as a single sniper, he said. “Velocity is replacing mass,” Tuttle said. Using rhymes and tongue-twisters to keep conferees’ attention and garner a few laughs after lunch on the second-day of the two-day conference, Tuttle’s tone got serious when he talked about how the U.S. military should manage this future information monsoon. “We need to see reduction in some information,” Tuttle said.
