ABSTRACT
This article analyzes research dedicated to energy intelligence and proposes a definition of this concept as the process of systematically gathering and analyzing information about the energy resources, markets, policies, and technologies of countries. This process enables the assessment of their economic and security impacts on a global (strategic) level. The article describes the purpose and primary objectives of energy intelligence, which involve the systematic collection and analysis of information about energy resources, markets, and policies to understand their impact on business decisions, economic factors, and security aspects through a deep analysis of energy trends and geopolitical risks. The classification of energy intelligence is provided, highlighting its main types. The article describes the methods of energy intelligence (SIGINT, IMINT, OSINT, HUMINT, EXIMINT) used for collecting and analyzing information about energy systems and resources. The subtypes of military energy intelligence are examined separately, emphasizing their role in military conflicts. An important aspect of the article is the development of a method for parametric identification of military targets based on energy consumption values, which allows for more precise identification and evaluation of military targets in modern combat scenarios. Thus, the article provides a comprehensive overview of the topic, emphasizing the importance of an integrated approach and the involvement of various stakeholders to ensure effective energy intelligence.
