Really interesting read.
Lately I have been researching GIS Data and CRE Data. The military has to have a tool to do this, but what if you could have a live video feed that would watch for muzzle flashes or tracer rounds. When they are spotted you can try to pinpoint the location and add a layer of Building information to track the locations and all the risks associated with going into those areas.
I wonder what researchers are doing for the military and if they are applying graph theory to these types of problems (or other things that I don't know about yet) and what tech they are using to help the people on the ground.
- donavanm 8y agoWRT detection triangulation based off sound is both effective and wide spread. Search for “shot spotter” in use in many cities in a civillian context. For military threat modeling you may be interested in the human intelligence exploitation (HET) teams in afghanistan and itaq. Theyre compound teams pulling in disparate specialists (like sociologists) to study, model, and report on an area. And yes, thats aggregated up through battalion intelligence for tactical use.
- jimkri 8y agoOh wow HET is really interesting, I never knew or thought about that type of work, thanks for the information! Do you know if most jobs in HET/HUMINT are for Military personnel only?
- donavanm 8y agoNo. They pulled in both other intelligence agency officers and more traditional civilian subject matter experts. Results were mixed with strong opinions on both sides.
