Satellite imagery and intercepts electronic signals: the military intelligence needed to conduct any military operation, is one of the keys to success of the international operation in Libya against the forces of Colonel Gaddafi. The military intelligence services of countries in the coalition, like the United States, Great Britain or France, have accumulated data on the Libyan weapons systems.
Used data from the first air strikes, said a former manager of a Western intelligence service on condition of anonymity. The first raids by American B2 stealth bombers, British Tornado and French Mirage and the shipment of Tomahawk missiles from warships were designed to make it "deaf, dumb and blind" defense Jamahiriya destroying its radar, communication systems and its battery-air missiles.
For years, Western spy satellites flying over daily Libya for photographing military sites. At 700 km altitude, a satellite can photograph an air base (aircraft, radars, missile batteries anti-aircraft) with a resolution of a few tens of centimeters. In the Mediterranean, the Navy spy ships were intercepted and recorded the frequencies emitted by radars monitoring (detection) guide and "acquisition" which are used to "hang" the enemy planes and destroy them with missiles air.
All these data have been stored in computer databases shared by the coalition countries. Hours before the first strikes, these data have been gathered in the computers of air-ground missiles and cruise missiles. They will then guide on the coordinates and / or frequencies emitted by the weapon systems to destroy them.
When sending a missile or smart bomb, the video system of the fighter saves the results as you type to be analyzed in soil. Reconnaissance aircraft will also fly over the affected areas and objectives to check the damage. Every day for the international operation against Libya, the spy satellites and reconnaissance aircraft will continue to collect operational intelligence.
These images made into 3D, encrypted and digitally, will in turn, via satellites for military communications, for example sent to the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, currently being deployed to the Gulf of Sirte. Targets will then be assigned to missiles Rafale aircraft carrier.
