Conflict Monitor – A complete OSINT collection and analysis service for Syria and Iraq

Trusted data and insight from world-class Jane’s analysts

Monitor, anticipate, and respond to evolving threatsGeospatial intelligence and social media monitoring are changing the nature of conflict analysis. The Conflict Monitor from IHS Markit converts high volumes of open-source intelligence into structured geospatial data, mapping the progression of the conflict in Syria and Iraq in unprecedented detail. It also provides tools for analysing the operational activity, capabilities and range of influence of armed actors, and can provide early warning of emerging patterns in complex risk environments.

Helping you find answers to deliver a more robust intelligence productThe critical independent perspective provided by Conflict Monitor can help to increase your situational awareness. Our rigorous methodology, which includes reliability scoring for events and sources, ensures you can trust the conclusions you draw from our data and insight.

Conflict Monitor supports clients with questions such as:

‒ Which Syrian rebel factions are cooperating with Jabhat Fatah al-Sham jihadists, and which factions oppose them?

‒ What effect has Russian intervention had on the performance of the Syrian government forces on the battlefield, and how much territory have they retaken?

‒ How many Shia militias are operating in Iraq, and which of them are ideologically aligned with Iran?

‒ Which Sunni rebel factions are fighting in Turkey’s “Euphrates Shield” coalition, and what does their messaging on social media tell us about their loyalty to Turkey?
