In the age of asymmetric warfare, intelligence is tantamount to national defense. Our terrorist adversaries are too dispersed to destroy and too fanatical to deter. Our best hope of security is accurate, timely, accessible information and actionable analysis. We need to organize the Intelligence Community (IC) by mission - not collection mechanism - to take full advantage of our technical proficiency and analytic expertise.
From warfighters on the front lines to policymakers on Capitol Hill, people depend on the intelligence community to protect national security interests. The intelligence community faces an incredible and increasingly complex challenge in bringing this information to practical application. Quantity, sources and types of information are exploding. To date, the traditional response to improving intelligence effectiveness has been to turn to technology. The intelligence community spends hundreds of millions of dollars on technology integration services, satellite equipment and new technologies in areas related to knowledge discovery, data mining and collaboration.
