Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap FY2011-2036
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance – The ability to conduct activities to meet the intelligence
needs of national and military decision-makers.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Dissemination – The ability to present information and
intelligence products that enable understanding of the operational environment to military and national
decision-makers.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Planning and Direction – The ability to synchronize and
integrate the activities of collection, processing, exploitation, analysis and dissemination resources to meet
information requirements of national and military decision-makers.
Kinetic Means – The ability to create effects that rely on explosives or physical momentum (i.e., of,
relating to, or produced by motion).
Logistics – The ability to project and sustain a logistically ready joint force through the deliberate sharing of
national and multi-national resources to effectively support operations, extend operational reach and provide the
joint force commander the freedom of action necessary to meet mission objectives.
Maneuver – The ability to move to a position of advantage in all environments in order to generate or
enable the generation of effects in all domains and the information environment.
Maneuver to Engage (MTE) – The ability to move to a position of advantage in all environments in order
to employ force.
Maneuver to Influence (MTInfl) – The ability to move to a position of advantage in all environments in
order to affect the behavior, capabilities, will, or perceptions of partner, competitor, or adversary leaders,
military forces, and relevant populations.
Maneuver to Insert (MTI) – The ability to place forces at a position of advantage in all environments.
Maneuver to Secure (MTS) – The ability to control or deny (destroy, remove, contaminate, or block with
obstacles) significant areas, with or without force, in the operational area whose possession or control provides
either side an operational advantage.
Mitigate – The ability to minimize the effects and manage the consequence of attacks (and designated
emergencies on personnel and physical assets.
Monitor – The ability to adequately observe and assess events/effects of a decision.
Net-Centric – The ability to provide a framework for full human and technical connectivity and
interoperability that allows all DoD users and mission partners to share the information they need, when they
need it, in a form they can understand and act on with confidence, and protects information from those who
should not have it.
Non-Kinetic Means – The ability to create effects that do not rely on explosives or physical momentum.
(e.g., directed energy, computer viruses/hacking, chemical, and biological).
