Modern wars depend on advanced espionage and surveillance systems that combine “artificial intelligence” and big data, providing a comprehensive and immediate view of the battlefield. This integration gives armies a superior ability to make decisions and determine targets with high accuracy.
These systems rely on a complex network that includes satellites equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) capable of imaging in all weather conditions, even in the dark, in addition to drones carrying advanced thermal and electro-optical sensors.
SIGINT systems also play an essential role in intercepting and analyzing encrypted communications and identifying enemy radar transmission locations. At the same time, machine learning algorithms analyze vast amounts of information to detect patterns and proactively anticipate enemy movements.
Through these technologies, armies aim to achieve “complete transparency” on the battlefield. All combat units are linked to a unified central data platform that allows real-time information exchange, reducing the “fog of war” and enhancing the effectiveness of precision strikes while reducing risks to friendly forces.
