The ISR Debrief Episode 2: NATO, Ukraine, AI, and the Future of Coalition Warfare

As NATO adapts to an increasingly complex security environment, today’s defense leaders face difficult questions. Are current investments aligned with tomorrow’s battlefield? How should alliances balance traditional capabilities with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and autonomous systems? And what role will intelligence sharing play in the future of coalition warfare? These questions are at the center of Episode 2 of The ISR Debrief.

China’s SJ-31 Satellite In Position to Monitor GEO from an Unusual Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO)

Written by Greg Gillinger On 16 June 2026, China launched a Long March 3B/E from Xichang carrying Shijian-31 (SJ-31) (69570). Initial TLE data from SpaceTrack indicates the satellite is operating in a highly elliptical orbit (HEO) with an inclination of approximately 63.4° and an eccentricity of 0.69—consistent with a Molniya-type orbit. The satellite has an orbital period of approximately 12.5 hours, completing just under two orbits per day. China has released little information on SJ-31, stating only that it will be used for “space environment detection.” Molniya orbits take advantage of Earth’s oblateness (J2 perturbation) at the critical inclination of approximately 63.4° to stabilize the Argument of Perigee over time.

Is Russia Maneuvering to Threaten an ICEYE Satellite?

Written by Greg Gillinger  EIN Presswire 22 May 2026: Russia conducted significant plane change maneuvers with at least 4 of its 6 Cosmos satellites. Plane change maneuvers are rare in space operations, especially in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) due to the required energy–which equates to a significant fuel investment. In this case, the fuel required to conduct such a maneuver is ~105-106m/sec. The maneuvers brought the 4 satellites into nearly co-planar orbits with ICEYE-X36 (59103) which is also inclined 97.8° and is a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging satellite. ICEYE is a Finnish-American aerospace and data company that designs, builds, and operates the world’s largest constellation of SAR satellites. ICEYE […]

Drone Warfare Has Changed the Battlefield Forever — Chad Hartman Breaks Down What Comes Next

In Ukraine, the character of war is shifting faster than at any moment in recent history. What began as a conventional, force-on-force invasion has evolved into something entirely different: a battlespace where drones, autonomy, and unblinking persistence dominate every movement. This week, we sat down with Chad Hartman, Senior Vice President for Global Solutions at Integrity ISR, to discuss Politico Europe’s recent article on “Ukraine’s Kill Zone” — and how drones have erased the traditional front line. The conversation went far deeper than the article itself. It became a look at the most important transformation in modern warfare since World War I. 1. The Most Dangerous Place Is No Longer […]

November 2022 – Integrity Insights Special Report: Iran

Iranian Drone Strike on Israeli-linked Oil Tanker (CENTCOM/Southwest Asia) US Central Command concluded an Iranian drone attacked an Israeli-owned oil tanker on 15 Nov 2022. “The Iranian attack on a commercial tanker transiting international waters was deliberate, flagrant, and dangerous… destabilizing maritime security in the Middle East” according to the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command. An Iranian drone launched from the southeastern city of Chabahar on 15 Nov and struck the Liberian flagged Pacific Zircon 150 miles off the coast of Oman. The Pacific Zircon, owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and operated by Eastern Pacific Shipping, reported minor damage but no injuries from the “HESA Shahed 136 […]

November 2022 – Integrity Insights Special Report: North Korea

North Korea: Redefining New Normal on the Korean Peninsula (INDOPACOM/Northeast Asia) North Korea has already launched more missiles in 2022 than any previous year. The DPRK has also developed nuclear weapons and will never give them up according to Kim Jong Un. On Sep. 9, 2022 North Korea announced a new law enshrining the right to conduct preemptive nuclear strikes if there is a threat of an imminent attack on DPRK leaders, or the country is at risk of destruction. Since then, the Hermit Kingdom has unleashed a flurry of dangerous military activity. The most recent activity was the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Nov. 18 Japanese […]
