But for other combat scenarios in the future, Isherwood says, the military might need to rely on other types of data such as signals intelligence (collection of electronic intercepts or emissions), moving target indicator data (Doppler shifts of moving objects to detect and track targets), radar imagery; and measurement and signals intelligence (combines radar, laser, optical, infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic and atmospheric mediums to identify objects).
Similar flights, for the ground moving target indicator (GMTI), are expected to be validated within the next couple of weeks.
