"The intelligence community must play a large part in this Department of Defense technology transformation if it wants to remain relevant to the warfighter and decision makers. Key for the intelligence community will be to fundamentally rethink its relationship with open source data. To be most useful for the decision makers and operators, the intelligence community must rebuild itself on the backbone of open source data and commercial technology."
"Not only is data important but because of the volume and complexity of that data, so is the technology that can sift through the data. Public domain data must be the first place to gather trends and threat warnings that feed the many watch centers across the department of defense and intelligence community which will be the basis of the enterprise command and control picture."
The Department of Defense is accelerating technology modernization and formalizing an Enterprise Command and Control Program Office to deliver a real-time battlespace picture for commanders. The intelligence community must centrally contribute to this transformation to stay relevant to warfighters and decision makers. Open-source and commercial data need to become the primary backbone for threat and warning processes. The volume and complexity of public data require commercial-grade technologies to sift, fuse, and present trends to watch centers. Much of the necessary technology exists, but integration will be difficult. Cultural change and timely acquisition of data and tools are essential.
