UVID Dronetech 2024: Strategic ISTAR Mission Planning & Management for the Modern Battlefield

“Intelligence is a key request in any combat. Our enemies know that as well and are constantly changing their methodologies and how they plan and manage their missions. They are dynamic, so we need to develop new technologies to counter them,” said Alfred (Fred) Tzimet, Deputy CEO at Omnisys.

Speaking at UVID Dronetech 2024 in Tel Aviv this morning about Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance, Tzimet discussed the intricate puzzle of pairing the right solution and technology with the user and mission target. “There are multiple priority intelligence requests from multiple users, multiple intelligence-gathering platform types, and multiple payloads with varied performances – how do we know to make the right decisions?” he said.

Tzimet said it all starts with the user, whether a tactical user who needs data here and now or a strategic user who needs data assembled and analyzed over time. Other challenges that must be considered include the weather, the battle landscape, the enemy’s capabilities, and much more.
