This thesis discusses two emerging technologies and how their integration with UAVs can improve the situational awareness capability of the Expeditionary Strike Group. Shotspotter is an acoustic gunshot detection system and Cursor on Target is an XML based schema to enhance information exchanges. When integrated with UAVs, these two technologies will drastically improve an ESG's efficiency and lethality in combat.

När omvärlden och krigen förändras, kan då den ”traditionella” operationskonsten behållas? I denna uppsats appliceras operativa principer definierade ur den israeliska operationskonsten från tidigare krig på det Andra Libanonkriget 12 juli till den 14 aug 2006. Syftet är att beskriva och diskutera operationskonstens dynamik och förutsättningar. I teorin influeras operationskonsten av både strategi, taktik och teori men även av en mängd andra subjektiva och objektiva faktorer. Undersökningen lyfter fram att de traditionella israeliska operativa principerna användes i en varierande omfattning men först i avslutningen av kriget kan ett ”traditionellt” operativt koncept identifieras. Resultatet visar att grundförutsättningarna för operativa principer måste vara uppfyllda för att konceptet skall kunna användas och att det måste finnas en samstämmighet mellan de strategiska förutsättningarna och de ramar och villkor som de subjektiva och objektiva faktorerna sätter. Undersökningen visar också att också att förändringar av koncept kräver impulser från resultat, strategi och övriga faktorer. Den strategiska insikten och förståelsen för dess påverkan är helt avgörande för om de militära åtgärderna är eller blir relevanta. Operationskonstens värde ligger i förmågan att under de taktiska förutsättningarna kunna omsätta det strategiska målet till en operativ idé. Denna idé skall bygga på ett operativt koncept med principer som är unikt anpassat för den aktuella operationen. Det centrala blir, att under gällande förutsättningar och med tillgängliga medel, dynamiskt balansera och hantera de påverkande faktorerna i aktuell tid och plats för att nå de strategiska målen med operationen. / When world and wars changes, can then the "traditional" operational art sustain? In this paper, operational principles defined from the Israeli operational art from past wars are applied to the Second Lebanon War, July 12 to Aug 14 2006. The aim is to describe and discuss the dynamics and conditions for the operational art. In theory, operational art is influenced by strategy, tactics and theory but also by a host of other subjective and objective factors. The survey highlights that the traditional Israeli operational principles were used in a various extent but only at the end of the war a "traditional" operational concept is identified. The results show that the basic conditions of operational principles must be fulfilled for the concept to be used and that there must be consistency between the strategic requirements and the limits and conditions that the subjective and objective factors sets. The survey also shows that changes in concepts require inputs from results, strategy and other factors. The strategic insight and understanding of its impact is crucial to whether military action is or becomes relevant. The value of Operational Art lies in its ability, in a tactical environment, to translate the strategic objective to an operational idea. This idea shall be based on an operational concept with principles that are uniquely suited for the current operation. The key is, under current conditions and with available resources, to dynamically balance and manage the affecting factors in current time and place to achieve the strategic objectives of the operation.
