Рассвет сжигает эту ночь,
И тишина отступит прочь,
Ворвутся птицы в новые день,
На город ляжет снова тень...
Снова тень...
А город тот не спит ни дня,
Творятся в городе делА,
И ночью танцы до утрА,
До сАмого утрА..

Не спится, не спится , что-то не спится,
Не хочется спать в яркую ночь,
Свободой дышать , на волю стремится,
Мне хочется так, кто мог бы помочь...
Помочь...

По-настоящему понять противника
Новейшие технологии, такие как искусственный интеллект, несомненно, будут играть и уже играют значимую роль в сборе и анализе разведданных. Однако у этих решений есть свои рамки возможного. К тому же полностью полагаться на них столь же рискованно, как и недооценивать перспективы их применения.
Так, например, в последние годы область разведки по открытым источникам или OSINT (Open source intelligence) получила серьезное развитие. В то же время увлечение ею основано на том принципе, что за счет повсеместной цифровизации и доступности информации мир становится более «прозрачным» с точки зрения получения данных.
Теперь посмотрим на это с другой стороны: в своих операциях потенциальный противник не прибегает к использованию передовых технологий, а избегает их. У него нет цифровых следов, нет электронных носителей информации, и он даже не пользуется устройствами, распространяющими электромагнитное излучение. Тогда контрразведывательная или разведывательная организация, оснащенная по последнему слову техники и сделавшая ставку на новые техсредства, столкнется с информационным вакуумом.
OSINT дает набор сведений, зачастую не всегда связный и подверженный неверному истолкованию, а то и вовсе намеренно сфабрикованный неприятелем для введения в заблуждение. Радиотехническая разведка позволяет перехватить информацию, передаваемую противником. При этом он может понимать, что его каналы связи изначально скомпрометированы и сознательно использовать их для доведения дезинформации. Этот способ обмана далеко не нов.
В этих условиях самой ценной информацией становятся планы и, что еще важнее, намерения неприятеля. То, о чем люди думают и что можно понять при непосредственном общении с человеком. Поэтому при любом развитии технологий сбор и анализ разведданных сводится к традиционным принципам.
Они же основаны на способности проникнуть в сознание противника. Не просто знать и понимать, как он мыслит, а примерить на себе его образ мышления, чтобы предвидеть шаги неприятеля и сыграть на упреждение.
Одна из наиболее распространенных проблем в анализе поведения противника — несостоятельность способа его восприятия.
Склонность к самоподтверждению, называемая в психологии «туннельным мышлением», с самого начала делает восприятие заданным и не гибким, заставляя следовать предубеждениям и предвзятым оценкам. Такое свойство мышления приводит к непреднамеренному самообману и построению ошибочных концепций, которые в итоге дают ложную общую картину.
Чаще всего в анализе неприятеля делается фокус на его непрерывной изменчивости (устоявшиеся признаки поведения, характерные для широкой социальной группы, и попытки найти в них изменения), ввиду чего упускается прерывистая изменчивость (признаки поведения, присущие конкретной личности, которые определяют ее действия). Как правило, это выражается в неспособности распознать истинные намерения — ранее полученный опыт восприятия затмевает рассмотрение возможных нехарактерных действий в будущем. В обиходе такое явление называют «этикетированием».
Когда же поведение противника анализируется, как если бы оно было своим собственным — «думай, что неприятель думает, как ты» -, это приводит к «отзеркаливанию». Только в зеркале, само собой, неизменно будет собственное отражение, а не противник…
Именно от способности гибко воспринимать неприятеля зависит понимание его фундаментальных интересов. Отталкиваясь уже от них, при столь же гибком восприятии можно определить вероятные будущие шаги противника.
Таким образом, притупление, а иногда и отсутствие навыков разведки путем непосредственных контактов с источниками информации ведет к утрате возможности понимать планы и предвидеть намерения неприятеля. Техсредства могут перехватить данные или просчитать возможные варианты, однако не помогут, когда противник, например, создал информационный вакуум или предпринял нехарактерные ассиметричные действия.
Тут можно вспомнить операцию ХАМАС «Потоп Аль-Аксы». Израильское разведсообщество оказалось не готовым к худшему для себя сценарию, когда системы управления и связи выведены из строя, боевые действия идут уже в глубине оккупированной Тель-Авивом территории и палестинцы используют новые тактические приемы. OSINT и радиотехническая разведка показали беспомощность перед таким поведением ХАМАС, а израильские спецслужбы не сумели понять замысел палестинцев, совершив все вышеописанные ошибки.
