We live in an era where data and
information travel extremely fast,
passing mainly unnoticed. Most
of human being, produce a huge
amount of data every day and
everywhere, even in crisis areas
of undeveloped Nations,
especially through their
smartphones. To prevent
conflicts or breaking them down,
intelligence is crucial, and in
order to produce intelligence, constant data collection is needed .

The constant monitoring activity (nowadays it can be carried out in observance of individuals’
privacy), would allow to integrate the information acquired "on the road" and cross them with the
flow of data passing through telematics networks. The result of that data matching, is the so called
“Reputational Report”.

When the Reputational Report shows data not in favor of the mission, anthropometric detection
technologies could be implemented through the acquisition of body-cam images connected to the
2
operations center, sent to a specific software of facial recognition .

Considering the technological evolution, it would be really useful to provide the mission teams with
the minimum budget for a digital forensics activities, to allow them to quickly identify, acquire,
analyze and extract useful information from any memory support including smartphone, having
"clear" visibility of information that sometimes could not be intercepted or re-enter into false
negative cases during the analysis of information flows.

The digital forensic analysis of
telephone “Records” (and radio
base station records) might be
crucial as well, as long as it is a
decisive factor in most of legal
actions. That kind of analysis,
matched with information obtained
from devices, “on the field”, and
through Phone “Cells”
investigations, facilitates the
recognition and identification of
“link networks”, connections between people, allowing to understand routes and habits too. Those
data are crucial, for investigations against organized crime and terrorism.
