Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) information plays a key role in the planning for, and conduct of all military operation. ISR information can be collected from a number of sources such as surveillance aircraft, satellites, human intelligence collectors etc. Once ISR information is collected it is the responsibility of the 'ISR processing system' to collate the information, conduct analysis and processing on the information items in a way that adds value to the information and finally, to move the information items to ISR end-users who are able to make use of the information. Initially, this thesis provides a detailed examination of the information 'need', of ISR end-users, that is fulfilled by an ISR processing system and proposes a technique for examining the way in which that need changes across the broad spectrum of military operations. The environment in which an ISR processing system resides is also examined and a set of attributes are proposed for describing those aspects of the environment which potentially affect the operation of a processing system. In recent times, two distinctly different approaches to the conduct of ISR processing have gained significant attention: Task, Process, Exploit, Disseminate (TPED) and Task, Post Process, Use (TPPU). However, in practice, hybrid ISR processing systems may be built which exhibit some characteristics of both of these approaches. The comparative strengths and weaknesses of these approaches are examined and a framework is proposed for matching the information needs of end-users and the system's operating environment to the most suitable configuration of a hybrid processing system. / Thesis (MEng(SystemsEng))--University of South Australia, 2006.
