This is Joe.
He's 33 years old, a doctor and has three children.
But Joe's life has been turned upside down by a conflict, which has erupted in his country.
The cause was territory disputed between two countries.
"It was, in my country, everything quiet and suddenly everything changed.
So we were forced to leave, me and my family, and we arrived here in this camp."
Joe is on the move, fleeing the dangers of the growing conflict, together with hundreds
of his compatriots.
Luckily, Joe is not a real refugee, and this a trial of NATO's intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance capabilities.
But it asks some demanding questions like how does a military alliance like NATO fight
against attacks on one front while making sure that people like Joe do not become victims
in the conflict?
"We have to remember that, in most military campaigns, they are being conducted in somebody's
home.
So as important as it is to the NATO commander to understand the movements and intent of
the enemy, he also has to understand the movement and intent of the civilian population who
are non- combatants.
So NATO's commitment is not just to the defeat of enemy combatants, it's also to the support
and protection and repatriation and reestablishment of civilian populations during and post-military
operation campaign."
In today's conflicts, you need more than jets, ships and soldiers.
You need information.
Broad, accurate and up-to-date information.
This can be the difference between life and death for those in and around the conflict
-- both military and civilians.
Fusing all the available information to provide a clear picture to the right person at the
right time is what this trial is all about.
"One of the lessons that we learned from the Libya operation is that NATO did not yet have
a network that it could build as part of the joint task force to integrate all of the joint
sensors that were available.
Here in UV 14 with the full joint task force structure, we've integrated the ISR functions
of the land component, the air component and the maritime component."
The Unified Vision trial is gathering, analysing and sharing information from many different
sources through multiple intelligence technologies, helping NATO forces to improve their ability
to conduct future operations -- and to ensure that commanders can quickly differentiate
between innocent civilians like Joe and potentially dangerous adversaries.
"The structure that we are experimenting with here in UV14 is the NATO Response Force structure,
with the goal of integrating the tactics, techniques and procedures that we refine in
the trial in NATO NRF 2016, so that whatever conflict arises, whether it be humanitarian
assistance, whether it be some type of security patrol engagement, all the way up through
an Article 5 conflict, that we can incorporate these throughout the full spectrum of operations.
We will identify what security areas are most in need of coverage and so we can assist local
law enforcement, we can assist whatever security forces have been requested for NATO to send
into a conflict area.
And of course we can use the data to conduct targeting of a potential adversary and respond
in any way that NATO needs to for whatever operation it is asked to participate in."
In the heart of the action, using technology to quickly understand complex, changing situations
remains a key challenge.
"We live in an asymmetric world with many threats, some known, some unknown.
Intelligence provides us the clarity of situation awareness, which then affords commanders the
ability to have dominant manoeuvre through their area of responsibility with confidence
that they understand the threat assessment."
Within this scenario, there is an incredible array of capabilities being put to the test:
firstly hardware, secondly techniques and thirdly doctrine, tactics and procedures.
A multitude of ground sensors, surveillance balloons, jammer aircraft, surveillance aircraft,
fighter jets and sea and land ISR assets have been deployed.
But all these technologies need a common architecture to work properly.
That is what Unified Vision 14 is about.
And if it works -- it will help the military and civilians, including people like Joe.
