  <link>http://www.defensenews.com/article/20130415/C4ISR01/304150014</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Long-endurance flight has long been the holy grail of U.S. unmanned airborne ISR, but the quest so far has been worthy of a Monty Python film. The composite-winged Global Observer crashed. The hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye lost a wheel. The helium-filled High Altitude Long Endurance airship ditched in a Pennsylvania forest. The Blue Devil 2 airship was canceled&amp;#59; so was the Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The surface of the earth has been mapped and mastered, with lidar, photography, infrared and other now-familiar systems, on satellites, manned aircraft and drones. Thermal imagers can even penetrate thin layers of soil. But go just a bit deeper, and you reach one of the last frontiers of ISR. How do you see into solid ground, below the roads, the rocks and the desert sand?]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Much fanfare accompanied the Sept. 25, 2010, launch of the Air Force&apos;s Space Based Space Surveillance satellite. The $833 million craft was finally going up to do its job: monitor orbiting items from space itself, free of the time constraints and atmospheric interference that hamper its earthbound counterpart, the Space Fence. Its 30-centimeter telescope, mounted on a two-axis gimbal, would help keep tabs on satellites as far away as geosynchronous orbit as well as thousands of bits of space junk closer in. The builders said SBSS would be on the job within 60 days, and forecast a working life of at least 5&amp;#189; years.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[For all of the advances in ISR technology, certain missions remain tough, from finding emplaced improvised explosive devices to locating buried smugglers&apos; tunnels to spotting drug labs hiding under triple layers of jungle canopy. While gear for some of these missions exists, it is often large &amp;#8212; both the sensors and the aircraft that carry them &amp;#8212; and neither particularly adaptable nor cost-effective.]]></description>

Such craft are among the world&apos;s most advanced and complex machines&amp;#59; the Virginias, for example, have hulls studded with sonars and periscope-replacing masts tipped with electronic sensors.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In January, a United Nations official began an investigation into the use of drones in targeted killing, the first formal international probe of U.S., British and Israeli counterterrorism programs that have killed hundreds of suspected terrorists &amp;#8212; along with an unknown number of innocent civilians &amp;#8212; in secret strikes. In the U.S., the development will surely put new pressure on agencies and the contractors involved in President Obama&apos;s signature counterterrorism strategy.]]></description>

  <link>http://www.defensenews.com/article/20130204/C4ISR01/302040008</link>
  <description><![CDATA[John Brennan, the prospective head of the CIA, has spent most of his working life in government intelligence jobs, but he spent three years in the private sector just before joining Obama&apos;s White House as counterterrorism adviser on Jan. 20, 2009. For that brief but profitable period, Brennan was the CEO of a little-known intelligence contractor called The Analysis Corporation, which does counterterrorism analysis for the U.S. government. (Since Brennan&apos;s departure, TAC has been absorbed, through a merger, into a new firm called Sotera.)]]></description>
