Description

The DoD¿s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities -- such as satellites and unmanned aircraft systems -- are crucial to military operations, and demand for ISR capabilities has increased. Congress directed DoD to fully integrate its ISR capabilities, also known as the ISR enterprise, as it works to meet current and future ISR needs. This report: (1) describes the challenges that DoD faces in integrating its ISR enterprise; (2) assesses DoD¿s mgmt. approach for improving integration of its future ISR investments; and (3) evaluates the extent to which DoD has implemented key activities to ensure proposed new ISR capabilities fill gaps, are not duplicative, and use a joint approach to meeting war-fighters¿ needs.
