- Seizing the electronic high ground : transforming aerial intelligence for the United States Army / by Hauser, Thomas N.,author.; Lance, Darell G.,writer of foreword.; United States.Army.Army Intelligence & Security Command,issuing body.(CARDINAL)893235;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 226-255) and index.Foreword / Darell G. Lance -- Preface -- Prologue -- Task Force 138 : enter low-intensity conflict in Central America -- A foothold in Central America -- The military intelligence battalion (low intensity) -- The first Gulf War -- CRAZY HORSE's last stand -- Unmanned aerial vehicles -- Supporting the field stations -- Airborne reconnaissance low in the western hemisphere -- JSTARS rising -- INSCOM in the twenty-first century -- Epilogue"On the battlefield, the high ground had long been the maneuver objective that awarded a bird's eye view of an opponent's position and an improved tactical advantage for offensive and defensive posture. When technology and industrialization began to transform warfare, it became a metaphor for military professionals to promote the latest advancement. "The electronic high ground" was one such imagining, used to emphasize the importance of aerial-sensor technology. In Seizing the Electronic High Ground, Thomas Hauser probes the recent past to explain why the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) is the exclusive manager of the Army's assets for aerial-intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (AISR) in the twenty-first century and how it delivers, maintains, and operates AISR systems in high demand worldwide. In 1981, INSCOM had a light footing in aerial intelligence, but its achievements in aviation were notable for uncovering a decade-long North Korean military-force buildup--a revelation that profoundly affected the policies of the U.S. and its allies in the region. Fresh off this success, the command went on to assume executive authority for low-intensity aerial operations in Central America. New, more-advanced equipment would be needed, and "the electronic high ground" would continue as an expression to energize support for acquisition and implementation. Not intended to have a role in combat development, INSCOM's aviation staff nevertheless rose to the occasion by introducing new designs for low-intensity conflict in underdeveloped regions of the world, delivering experimental proofs of concept that had the potential to provide qualitative support to the regular force, and even conceiving the ideas for future projects based on mission requirements. Furthermore, the command then built specialized aerial units and a support structure to run the resulting systems on a permanent basis. In this way, the products quite often led to enduring missions. For the Army, INSCOM now holds "the electronic high ground.""--- Subjects: Aerial observation (Military science); Aerial reconnaissance; Electronic intelligence; United States. Army.
