The paper will be 6-8 pages, double-spaced, and should also in" rel="nofollow">include a title page, a List of References in" rel="nofollow">in correct APA format, and a 1-page Executive Summary. Your paper should be written for your senior prin" rel="nofollow">incipal and should reflect a manager’s perspective. You should thin" rel="nofollow">ink through the resources (literal and non-literal) available, and how you might plan and sequence collection to satisfy analysts’ priority in" rel="nofollow">intelligence requirements, which are outlin" rel="nofollow">ined below. Included in" rel="nofollow">in your paper should be a discussion of a summary of the targets, limitations, and your alternate plan if you are unable to get the collection assets you request. After you have written your paper, please encapsulate the primary poin" rel="nofollow">ints of your paper in" rel="nofollow">in an Executive Summary and in" rel="nofollow">include this as the first page after the title page. Writin" rel="nofollow">ing an Executive Summary is difficult because it requires you to be concise, tightly focused, and in" rel="nofollow">include only the most pertin" rel="nofollow">inent poin" rel="nofollow">ints of your paper. This is a necessary exercise that will serve you in" rel="nofollow">in your jobs and academic work. See the followin" rel="nofollow">ing lin" rel="nofollow">ink “The Report Abstract and Executive Summary” https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/726/07 and scroll down to the end of the lin" rel="nofollow">ink to “The Executive Summary” for further reference. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… THE ASSIGNMENT: Prepare a multi-INT (4) collection plan again" rel="nofollow">inst all the targets defin" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in the scenario for analysts who are puttin" rel="nofollow">ing together products for senior leaders and operational commanders. The plan should follow this format: • Describe the collection scenario (specific targets, timin" rel="nofollow">ing, and method of collectin" rel="nofollow">ing); • Describe the expected payoff, in" rel="nofollow">in terms of answers to the four sets of customer needs (counterterrorism, counter narcotics, military/counter proliferation, and weapons systems performance); • Assess the risks associated with the collection effort; • Describe the “back end” requirements to support the collected in" rel="nofollow">information; that is, what might you need to process the data, which might in" rel="nofollow">include translation of foreign language material, or processin" rel="nofollow">ing and exploitation of technical collection. Develop a timelin" rel="nofollow">ine for the use of the assets that you identify in" rel="nofollow">in this plan, and describe the communication among collectors that is required for the success of the effort. Additional notes on each INT: HUMINT Postulate the specific assets you propose to use (attaches, specific recruited sources or specific liaison sources, for example), and describe any additional features of the scenario that you thin" rel="nofollow">ink would be useful in" rel="nofollow">in your plan. You can create notional recruited assets to task. Describe these sources in" rel="nofollow">in detail but be realistic; do not use any of the Russian attendees as already recruited assets. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Collection Plannin" rel="nofollow">ing Project 2 COMINT or communication in" rel="nofollow">intelligence Identify the sources and types of communications that might be collected, and likely value of in" rel="nofollow">information collected. Possible communications in" rel="nofollow">include, but are not limited to: cell phones; microwave poin" rel="nofollow">int-poin" rel="nofollow">int; push-to-talk (PTT) radios; fiber optic cable; wireless computer networks; and in" rel="nofollow">internet communications. Identify potential COMINT liaison organizations (COMINT services of friendly countries) that might be in" rel="nofollow">in a position to assist, considerin" rel="nofollow">ing geography and mutual in" rel="nofollow">interest in" rel="nofollow">in the target, and in" rel="nofollow">indicate how you would use them. Collection Plannin" rel="nofollow">ing Project 3 IMINT or imagery in" rel="nofollow">intelligence Consider the followin" rel="nofollow">ing types of imagery: Optical, SAR, nighttime in" rel="nofollow">infrared, multispectral and hyper spectral imagin" rel="nofollow">ing. Identify the imagery ratin" rel="nofollow">ing scale you are assumin" rel="nofollow">ing for each imagery type. Assume that you can obtain" rel="nofollow">in imagery of the target from different aspects, both on land and while the vessel is underway on the water. Identify specific targets for materials or materiel collection and the in" rel="nofollow">intelligence that you expect to obtain" rel="nofollow">in from that target. Describe how you propose to collect the materiel or materials. MASINT or Measurement and Signature in" rel="nofollow">intelligence collection to Identify the target(s) and what you are expectin" rel="nofollow">ing to collect. OSINT or Open Source Intelligence Be specific about the type and source of any open source material you plan to exploit. Consider the analysts in" rel="nofollow">in the Community that have provided the followin" rel="nofollow">ing Priority Intelligence Requirements for senior leaders and operational commanders: Counterterrorism: Representatives from the terrorist group Al’ Shaitan reportedly are in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in purchasin" rel="nofollow">ing one of the craft to use for attacks on unspecified targets. An Al’ Shaitan cell is located somewhere in" rel="nofollow">in Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore. Provide in" rel="nofollow">information on any contacts between the terrorist group and the Russians. Highest priority is learnin" rel="nofollow">ing Al’ Shaitan’s in" rel="nofollow">intended use of the craft, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">intended targets. Next priority is on tracin" rel="nofollow">ing the fundin" rel="nofollow">ing sources for the purchase. Counter narcotics: Several narcotics traffickin" rel="nofollow">ing organizations are reportedly in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in the craft as a seaborne delivery platform for their product. Identify any such groups who contact the Russian delegation; their in" rel="nofollow">intended use of the platform, to in" rel="nofollow">include area of operation; and provide details on purchases made and delivery terms. Military/Counter proliferation: US DoD and Australian defense representatives have requested any details about planned sales of the craft to Indonesia, Pakistan or the Philippin" rel="nofollow">ines. Include number of craft sold, terms of sale and planned delivery dates. Weapons Systems Performance: Provide details on the performance of the patrol craft (top speed, range, maneuverability, logistics support) and of the missiles (sensor type and performance, missile speed, operational profile, in" rel="nofollow">intended targets). Provide details on the reported stealth Collection Plannin" rel="nofollow">ing Project 4 design, its effectiveness, and the hull materials used. Determin" rel="nofollow">ine the type of propulsion system. SCENARIO: The IMDEX Asia (International Maritime Defense Exhibition and Conference) is held every two years at the Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore Expo, 1 Expo Drive, Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore. This year, a Russian delegation proposes to showcase a new patrol boat at IMDEX Asia. A Russian brochure says that the boat is an advanced type of a very fast patrol boat, highly maneuverable, and optionally equipped with a new anti-ship cruise missile. Reportedly the craft has a new hull design that employs stealth technology and a revolutionary propulsion system. The craft was designed by the Almaz Central Marin" rel="nofollow">ine Design Bureau of St. Petersburg, Russia. The Russians plan to set up a booth at the exposition with pictures of the boat and the missile. Reportedly, the boat’s designer Sergeiy, and the missile’s designer, Valeriy, and the sales representative, Viktor, will be at the booth durin" rel="nofollow">ing some times of the day. They may also be at the Russian hospitality suite in" rel="nofollow">in the Pan Pacific Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore hotel durin" rel="nofollow">ing the evenin" rel="nofollow">ing. All Russian attendees are stayin" rel="nofollow">ing at the Pan Pacific Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore Hotel. The boat itself is anchored in" rel="nofollow">in the center of Marin" rel="nofollow">ina Bay, Sin" rel="nofollow">ingapore harbor, approximately 200 meters from the nearest shore. It has one live-aboard guard, Igor, who reportedly has a propensity for drin" rel="nofollow">ink. When off-duty, Igor can be found at Harry’s Bar on Boat Quay, a sleazy nightspot that features a live jazz band and jam sessions. Over the next two days, the boat will be taken out in" rel="nofollow">in the Straits of Malacca for a test demonstration of its speed and maneuverability. You have received reports that the Russians plan to use the craft to conduct a live anti-ship missile firin" rel="nofollow">ing demonstration for their guests again" rel="nofollow">inst a dummy target located in" rel="nofollow">in the Straits of Malacca. The guests, who will be on board durin" rel="nofollow">ing the test, in" rel="nofollow">include representatives of all the potential customer groups which could in" rel="nofollow">include terrorists, narcotics traffickers, and military officers from Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippin" rel="nofollow">ines, all in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in the craft for their own purposes. Additional in" rel="nofollow">information: Communication Intelligence between the development facility in" rel="nofollow">in St. Petersburg and its test facility located near Kaspiysk, on the Caspian Sea has revealed that the craft was tested on the Caspian Sea. A commercial imagery search has located a prototype at coordin" rel="nofollow">inates at 42° 52’ 55”N 47° 39’ 24”E.
