"Intelligence sharing is 'the ability to exchange intelligence, information, data, or knowledge among Federal, state, local or private-sector entities as appropriate.'"
How intelligence data is shared and collaborated between different military and civilian organizations, including international partners.
Intelligence Cycle: A process of collecting, processing, analyzing, and disseminating information to support decision-making.
Intelligence Collection Methods: A variety of methods used to acquire information, such as human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), and open source intelligence (OSINT).
Intelligence Analysis: The process of evaluating collected information, studying it for patterns or trends, and assessing its value for decision makers.
Intelligence Dissemination: The process of sharing analyzed intelligence with decision makers and other pertinent parties to enhance decision-making.
Intelligence Fusion: The process of merging numerous intelligence sources and types to support decision-making.
Intelligence Collaboration: The sharing of intelligence information between agencies, organizations, or nations to arrive at a more complete understanding of threats and situations.
Intelligence Security: The protection of intelligence information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR): The gathering of information through Airborne, Ground, and Maritime platforms using HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT, etc.
Counter Intelligence (COIN): The collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination of information for the purpose of identifying, preventing, or neutralizing threats to national security.
Threat Assessment: An evaluation of the potential for a specific threat or activity (e.g., terrorism, espionage).
Cyber Intelligence: Intelligence gathering focused specifically on digital and cyber activities, essential in the current day and age where the threat of a cyber attack is omnipresent.
GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence): The collection and analysis of geographic and spatial data from various sources to create intelligence products for decision-making.
MASINT (Measurements and Signatures Intelligence): The use of electronic sensors and other advanced techniques to gather unique and precise fundamental information for aiding intelligence analysis.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: A branch of intelligence that deals with development and application of computer algorithms to pinpoint patterns and help in critical decision making in real time.
Ethics and Legal Issues: Intelligence activities operate under legal guidelines and ethical standards for handling information and ensuring the privacy of individuals.
Joint intelligence: Intelligence collected and analyzed by all branches of the military for the same operational objectives. It enables decision-making in joint and combined operations and for cooperation with international allies.
Human intelligence (HUMINT): Intelligence collected through human sources, including spies, agents, or informants.
Signal intelligence (SIGINT): Intelligence derived from electronic transmissions and communications.
Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT): Intelligence derived from the analysis of geospatial data, including maps, imagery, and signals.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT): Intelligence derived from publicly available sources such as newspapers, social media, and TV.
Technical intelligence (TECHINT): Intelligence derived from the analysis of information from scientific and technical sources in areas including weapons systems, missile technology, and electronics.
Cyber intelligence (CYBINT): Intelligence derived from cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and exploitation.
Imagery intelligence (IMINT): Intelligence gathered through the interpretation of satellite and aerial images.
Counterintelligence (CI): The activities undertaken to prevent hostile entities from collecting and exploiting sensitive information against the military.
Law enforcement intelligence: Collaboration between military intelligence and law enforcement in areas of shared interest, such as counterterrorism or counter-narcotics.
