SITUATION ANALYSIS
The MJTF’s operation Lake Sanity 2 is a major offensive targeting Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province camps in the Lake Chad basin. The operation aims to dismantle terrorist hideouts in border villages in Cameroon, Nigeria, and Chad. The recent strikes, which killed over 70 terrorists, have caused many fighters to flee into neighboring countries. Civilians in affected areas have reported casualties among their relatives due to the attacks. The MJTF has captured many fighters and recovered significant weapon supplies, marking a substantial effort to curb terrorism in the region.
CHALLENGES
- Border Security: The porous borders between Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria make it difficult to prevent terrorists from fleeing and infiltrating neighboring towns.
- Coordination: Maintaining effective coordination among the four nations involved in the MJTF to sustain the pressure on terrorist groups.
- Intelligence Gathering: Continuously gathering accurate intelligence to locate and target terrorist hideouts effectively.
WHY iCOGNATIVE?
iCognative’s advanced brainwave monitoring technology can significantly aid in this ongoing operation by detecting whether individuals have specific knowledge related to terrorist activities. Using EEG and P300 ERP, it provides rapid and accurate insights into a suspect’s subconscious knowledge.
- Identifying Terrorist Affiliations: iCognative can present stimuli such as images of known terrorist leaders, locations, and insignias. Then it can detect if suspects have knowledge of these elements. This helps identify terrorist affiliations and networks.
- Validating Interrogations: Investigators can show specific details related to the recent attacks and camps to the suspects. iCognative can verify the accuracy of suspects’ statements, ensuring that crucial information is corroborated.
- Enhancing Security Measures: With nearly 99% accuracy and the ability to detect criminal involvement in just 5 minutes, iCognative can quickly identify other potential terrorists among detainees, aiding in their swift capture and preventing further infiltration.
In conclusion, iCognative technology offers a powerful tool for the MJTF in their fight against Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province. It enhances the accuracy and efficiency of identifying terrorists, thereby supporting the overall goal of restoring peace and security in the Lake Chad basin region.
