АНАЛІЗ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ АНАЛІТИЧНОЇ РОЗВІДКИ НАТО

Abstract

For the successful conduct of a modern battle, according to the views of modern military scientists, it is necessary, first of all, to know the enemy, his forces, means and nature of actions. In order to provide commanders and staffs of all levels with this data, there is the most important type of combat support for military operations - intelligence. The experience of conducting military operations shows that only where reconnaissance is conducted actively and purposefully, combat tasks are solved successfully and with the least losses. On the contrary, poorly organized intelligence has always been the main cause of unsuccessful military operations. Nowadays, the volume of tasks solved by intelligence has grown significantly. Instead, the terms of their implementation were significantly reduced. The requirements for the time of data transmission and the accuracy of determining the coordinates of enemy objects (targets) have increased. Analytical intelligence is a component of intelligence activity, consisting of detection, assessment, forecasting of various social processes, events, activities based on information, mainly obtained from open sources, as well as obtained by intelligence of other types (agency, technical, etc.). Analytical intelligence is divided into operational (which serves current needs) and strategic (which forms stable insights). Proactively investigates short-term phenomena (occurring, recent or soon expected) to ensure appropriate immediate action. Strategic reveals what is extremely unobvious, does not come soon, changes slowly, requires long-term, large-scale measures. Aspects of analytical intelligence: collection and comparison of various information in order to identify trends, contradictions, misinformation, misinterpretation, manipulative measures, implicit events, hidden activities, as well as the formation of general ideas about various significant subjects and phenomena; assessment of subjects, events, actions, intentions; forecasting events, actions, intentions; planning of activities, events. Information provision of specific open and secret operations; participation in the development of strategies for ensuring national security, national development, and global development. Wide implementation of modern information technologies has become an urgent issue today, according to scientists, it is an absolute requirement of modern warfare.
