📜 Playbook — Weapons Intelligence collection

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Weapons Intelligence: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — collect from the 0 mapped sources (0 free) — filter the catalog by WEAPINT; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎯 Mission

Weapons Intelligence identifies, characterizes and traces conventional weapons, munitions and delivery systems from imagery, recovered materiel and trade records. It answers what a weapon is and where it originated, how it reached a battlefield, and which manufacturers, lots and transfer routes are feeding proliferation and diversion.

📡 Collection methods

• Visual weapon identification from battlefield imagery and video
• Lot, headstamp and serial-number tracing to manufacturer and production date
• Arms-transfer and export-license record analysis
• Weapons technical exploitation (WTI) of recovered materiel
• IED, fragment and ballistic forensic characterization
• Small-arms flow and diversion-pattern mapping

📜 Weapons Intelligence Tradecraft

1. Collect battlefield imagery, recovered-materiel photos, arms-transfer records and HS-93 trade flows.
2. Geolocate and chronolocate media with InVID, and extract markings, headstamps and serial ranges.
3. Analyze weapon type, production lot and transfer pathway against SIPRI and iTrace baselines.
4. Attribute materiel to manufacturer, exporting state and diversion point along the transfer chain.
5. Publish a weapon-tracing dossier and diversion-route map to the WEAPINT dashboard.
6. Notify arms-embargo and sanctions bodies and cue further collection on the diversion node.
