Intelligence System

A Intelligence System is an information processing system that collects intelligence system raw data through intelligence system collection methods to produce intelligence system actionable intelligence.

• AKA: Intelligence Process, Intelligence Cycle, Intelligence Framework.
• Context:
  • It can typically collect Intelligence System Raw Data through intelligence system human sources and intelligence system technical sensors.
  • It can typically analyze Intelligence System Information Patterns using intelligence system analytical methods.
  • It can typically produce Intelligence System Assessment Reports for intelligence system policy makers.
  • It can typically maintain Intelligence System Source Networks via intelligence system handler relationships.
  • It can typically protect Intelligence System Operational Security through intelligence system compartmentalization.
  • ...
  • It can often conduct Intelligence System Covert Operations using intelligence system clandestine assets.
  • It can often penetrate Intelligence System Foreign Targets through intelligence system technical exploitation.
  • It can often counter Intelligence System Adversary Activity via intelligence system counterintelligence.
  • It can often experience Intelligence System Collection Gaps in intelligence system denied areas.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Domestic Intelligence System to being a Foreign Intelligence System, depending on its intelligence system operational focus.
  • It can range from being a Military Intelligence System to being a Civilian Intelligence System, depending on its intelligence system organizational structure.
  • It can range from being a Technical Intelligence System to being a Human Intelligence System, depending on its intelligence system collection emphasis.
  • It can range from being an Open Intelligence System to being a Closed Intelligence System, depending on its intelligence system transparency level.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • U.S. Intelligence System integrating intelligence system multiple agencys.
  • Five Eyes Intelligence System sharing intelligence system allied information.
  • SIGINT Intelligence System intercepting intelligence system electronic communications.
  • HUMINT Intelligence System utilizing intelligence system human sources.
  • OSINT Intelligence System analyzing intelligence system public information.
  • Intelligence Success Events demonstrating intelligence system effective assessment.
  • Intelligence Failure Events showing intelligence system assessment error.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Open Source Research Systems, which lack intelligence system clandestine methods.
  • Academic Analysis Systems, which avoid intelligence system operational activity.
  • Journalistic Investigation Systems, which prioritize intelligence system public disclosure.
• See: Information System, Government Agency, Covert Operation, Counterintelligence, Signal Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Intelligence Failure Event.
