Definition[]
Battlespace awareness (BA) is a practice of military philosophy that is used as a valuable asset by joint component and force commanders, to predict courses of action before employing troops into a prescribed area of operation (AO). It utilizes the intelligence preparation asset to assist the commander in being "aware" of recent, current, and near term events in his battlespace.
Overview[]
It is based around its knowledge and understanding obtained by the an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system. It is another methodical concept used to gain information about the operational area — the environment, factors, and conditions, including the status of friendly and adversary forces, neutrals and noncombatants, weather and terrain — that enables timely, relevant, comprehensive and accurateassessments. It has become an effective concept for conventional and unconventional operations in successfully projecting, or protecting, a military force, and/or completing its mission.
