A highly dispersed sensor network detects anomalous activity across a 200-kilometer front. Synthetic aperture radar identifies irregular vehicle tracks near a tree line. Signals intelligence intercepts encrypted, short-burst radio transmissions. A week-old HUMINT report places a high-value commander within 50 kilometers. Open-source intelligence shows sudden civilian supply chain delays. Drone feeds capture thermal signatures obscured by deliberate multispectral camouflage.
