2.1: Collection Capabilities
Develop a horizontally integrated, adaptive set of collection capabilities to achieve persistent surveillance. Other Information:
DIA’s responsibility to develop an overarching DoD collection management architecture, plan, and process — that already includes
imagery intelligence, signals intelligence, geospatial intelligence, and measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) —
will be further strengthened with the integration of HUMINT and newly-developed collection strategies. The Agency will enhance
its capabilities through increasing the strength and integration of its HUMINT and technical collection assets. The GWOT and
the increased focus on irregular warfare have underscored the need for HUMINT collection in order to achieve true persistent
surveillance. The ability to gain and exploit battlefield awareness is critical to achieving warning and tactical advantage
against the nation’s adversaries. DIA will: • Improve foreign language proficiencies and expertise to better assess, explain,
and exploit the cultural landscape in which collectors operate. • Integrate HUMINT and MASINT with other capabilities across
the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to achieve persistent surveillance of the Nation’s adversaries.
