SESSION ONE: CHALLENGES IN THE NEW THREAT ENVIRONMENT

The Intelligence Community has reacted to current world events by, among other activities, embracing horizontal integration processes and cultivating a "need to share" atmosphere using joint, net-centric planning and operations. These pragmatic operational changes are designed to improve performance against the new and yet unknown threats to our nation's homeland security, defense and economic security. The threats include the potential use of weapons of mass destruction by rogue nation states and of asymmetric tactical warfare by radical Islamic terrorists, as well as the potential economic threats posed by China. Each of these threats present complex challenges to the Intelligence Community's capability to fulfill critical requirements for the collection, analysis, production, and dissemination of time-sensitive, vetted information and knowledge. This session will focus on how intelligence operations are being affected by the global war on terrorism.

SESSION TWO: TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES OF THE NEW THREAT ENVIRONMENT

The changing threat, as well as the restructuring of the Community, provides a myriad of new challenges for collection, processing, exploitation, analysis, production, and dissemination. The emphasis has begun to shift from places to faces, presenting intelligence professionals with a much more complex and dynamic problem set than sheer numbers are able to address. There are many questions: What former problems endure? What's working? What are the gaps? What needs to get better? Persistence, new phenomenologies, non-cooperative tracking, and non-intrusive examination are only some of the emerging gaps in current sensing technology, while back-office solutions are moving towards net-centric, service based frameworks. This session will address the broad spectrum of technology needs in the new intelligence order.

SESSION THREE: THE INTELLIGENCE FACTORY


Despite the new global threat environment with capabilities enabled by the information technology (IT) revolution that are driving intelligence reform and transformation, the "intelligence industry" remains in the business of building information content for its users. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of the Internet, the digitization of data, and the attacks on 9/11, the Community has been re-engineering itself in order to both improve the quality of the products it produces and the responsiveness with which it delivers them to an expanding list of diversified consumers. This session will ask successful managers from a cross section of intelligence production centers to share with the symposium how they are using concepts from the knowledge management discipline and the online mass customization industry to improve the output of their "intelligence factory." The informed commentary from this select group of Directors of Intelligence (DI's) should help identify best practices for producing high quality, timely, and relevant intelligence at reasonable costs as well as insights about what the Intelligence Community needs to do to get ahead of its users' expectations.

SESSION FOUR: THE CHALLENGES TO ACQUISITION AND TRANSFORMATION IMPLEMENTATION IN THE NEW IC


Transforming the IC requires systems that are more closely integrated and capable of operating at the scale required to meet today's global intelligence challenge. Such capabilities bring with them the need for acquisition practices and resources that unite government customers and the best of industry. To begin with, there are the obvious technical challenges of implementing "need to share," horizontal integration, and interoperability among the IC, DHS, and first-responders. This requires across the government that a consistent, cohesive set of standards are put in place with regard to system interaction, data formats and security requirements. This session will examine ways in which a true, system-of-systems approach to intelligence might be attempted. Speakers will address questions such as unified intelligence architecture, community-wide system engineering, and the pros and cons of a unified approach to system and technology acquisition in service to a more integrated intelligence community.
