what type of nonliteral collection do you think is the most important for strategic intelligence and combat/tactical intelligence? First define what nonliteral intelligence covers and includes, then provide your response. Good evening classmates. The nonliteral collection covers signals and technical intelligence. These collection types include sensors, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber collection. Sensors utilize core samples using sonar, acoustic, and gravimetric sensors for intelligence purposes. Sensors must be placed in a vehicle or platform to be effectively employed. Some examples of vehicles or platforms are wheeled vehicles, aircraft, submarines, satellites, computer networks, telephonic means, and electrical power plants. Signal intelligence is the collection and intelligence through the collection of data. Once the signals intelligence information is collected, it is exploited by electronic warfare, such as electronic warfare support, electronic attack, and electronic protection. Cyber collection utilizes computer systems and networks to access targeted computer systems, networks, and databases for further exploitation. Sensors and its platform are most important for strategic and combat/tactical intelligence because they directly affect ground forces and provide real-time data as ground forces move. For example, magnetic field sensors are used in land, sea, and air vehicular systems and can detect nearby enemy forces and their equipment. Signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber collection have some form of processing required and are used for a more long-term capability. -Ben References Sensor Solutions.

Good afternoon Joshua. Excellent summary and write-up. I enjoyed the example you used pertaining to Germany's Enigma Code. The enigma code was an elaborate system during WWII that ciphered classified message transmissions to prevent unwanted individuals from reading them. A mathematician named Alan Turing was one of the prominent individuals responsible for creating the Bombe. The Bombe device significantly assisted codebreakers in deciphering message transmissions such as the enigma code. Turing was intelligent and studied at Cambridge and Princeton Universities but worked as a code and cipher professor for the British government. -Ben References Imperial War Museums. How Alan Turing Cracked the Enigma Code. 2023. Good afternoon Brett. Your discussion this week was exciting and thought-provoking. Maintaining air dominance is essential and plays a signification factor during conflicts. For example, in 1944, Japan and the U.S. had an air-to-air battle called the Battle of the Philippine Sea. During this battle, the U.S. had over 1000 pieces of aircraft, and Japan had over 700. Not all aircraft were used. Japan used 373 planes, and 130 planes returned after the battle. The U.S. used most of its planes, and 90% returned to the aircraft carriers. In the end, the U.S. won the battle, which allowed the U.S. to progress further during WWII. -Ben References Norwich University Online. 10 Largest Air to Air Battles in Military History.

Good afternoon Professor Pierson. Regarding non-literal collection, SIGINT is the most important for strategic intelligence and combat/tactical intelligence. SIGINT collects critical data before it can be analyzed and processed. It is the foundation and required element before the data can progress to further steps. -Ben
