This paper provides an overview of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data with respect on NATO standards and recommendations; further presents methods, tools, and experiences in ISR data processing in military operations. The steps of the Intelligence cycle and disciplines Business Intelligence (BI), Data Warehousing, Data Mining, and Big Data are presented in the introduction. The literature review is oriented to the analysis of intersections between ISR and BI methods. The

The ISR operational picture is explained, and steps of the ISR data mart is completed. The last part is oriented to Big Data processing; NoSQL, inmemory and streaming databases. The last two chapters are focused on the description of research results in the processing of ISR data. The ISR data mart experiment processes the radio transmission data that consists of detected radio signals. Results are visualized in RapidMiner Studio. The Big Data experiment is realized in Apache Hadoop.
