At Admiralis Consulting and Security, LLC we provide trained, experienced, and specialized intelligence professionals that can assist the Joint military warfighter with a variety of intelligence support.
Some key features of intelligence support include:
Collection: Gathering information from all-source intelligence resources, including signals intelligence (SIGINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), and open-source intelligence (OSINT), among others.
Analysis: Processing and evaluating the collected data to understand patterns, identify threats, assess risks, and predict potential scenarios. This step transforms raw data into actionable intelligence.
Dissemination: Distributing the analyzed intelligence to the relevant stakeholders, including military commanders, government officials, and policy makers, ensuring they have the necessary information to make informed decisions.
Providing trained, experienced, and certified Joint Targeteers at a moment’s notice is not a simple task in today’s dynamic and ever-changing security environment. At Admiralis Consulting and Security, LLC we provide the key personnel needed – these services include:
Target Identification: The first step in joint targeting is identifying potential targets that pose a threat to military objectives or civilian populations. Targets can include enemy forces, installations, equipment, infrastructure, or leadership.
Intelligence Gathering: Intelligence gathering plays a crucial role in the targeting process. Various sources of intelligence, including satellite imagery, reconnaissance missions, electronic surveillance, and human intelligence, are used to gather information about enemy targets, their locations, movements, vulnerabilities, and potential collateral damage.
Target Prioritization: Once potential targets are identified and assessed, they are prioritized based on factors such as their importance to the enemy's capabilities, their strategic value, the level of threat they pose, and the availability of resources for engagement. Targets may be categorized as high-value targets (HVTs), critical nodes, or time-sensitive targets (TSTs) requiring immediate action.
Targeting Process: The targeting process involves a systematic approach to planning and executing attacks on selected targets. This includes developing targeting packages that specify the desired effects, selecting appropriate weapons and tactics, and coordinating the timing and sequencing of attacks to achieve desired outcomes while minimizing risks to friendly forces and non-combatants.
Command and Control: Joint targeting requires effective command and control structures to coordinate the efforts of different military units and assets involved in the targeting process. This involves clear communication, decision-making authority, and coordination mechanisms to ensure unity of effort and avoid duplication of efforts.
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Targeting decisions must comply with international law, including the laws of armed conflict and rules of engagement, as well as ethical principles governing the use of force. This includes considerations of proportionality, necessity, distinction between combatants and non-combatants, and efforts to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage.
After targets have been engaged, the effectiveness of the strikes is assessed through post-strike analysis to determine whether objectives were achieved and to identify any unintended consequences or collateral damage. This feedback is used to refine future targeting efforts and adjust tactics, techniques, and procedures as necessary.
