Kierunki rozwoju rozpoznania wojskowego

The race for dominance between the hallmark of systems of surveillance, command and control on the one hand, and the time and the reliability of the information on the other hand, has led to a condition, where manual supported reconnaissance measures are not keeping up with the development of other techniques of transfer and reconnaissance. The most significant role in this race is played by the time, the synchronization of many repetitive actions, the reliability of the information passing on to the decision-making centres and the possibility of collecting, gathering and processing the information by computer systems. Therefore, the factors which determine the reconnaissance have begun to play a dominant role. Technological development allowed to build automated systems what in regard to reconnaissance is important. Object of the article will be the identification results obtained as a result of solving the problem defined in the form of a question: What are the current trends in the modernization of the Polish Armed Forces reconnaissance? The characteristics of military intelligence under consideration in eight problem areas that determine its development.
