2.3: Open Source Information

Increase the awareness, availability, and use of open source information, to ensure all-source collection and analysis.

Other Information:

DIA will increase open source information capabilities to advance the Defense Intelligence Enterprise’s exploitation of material available from the Internet, databases, press, radio, television, video, geospatial data, photos, and commercial imagery. The Agency will improve integration of these resources enabling it to better utilize relevant open source collection and analysis to gain a more complete picture for leaders and operators. DIA will: • Develop a coherent management construct to consolidate and clarify open source strategies, policies, training, and functional IT requirements across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise. • Ensure properly administered unclassified holdings are available to customers. • Integrate defense and national open source capabilities to eliminate duplication of effort and explore opportunities for collaboration among components of the Intelligence Community (IC).
