2.1: Force Multiplier
Make information a force multiplier through sharing. Other Information:
Information as a force multiplier refers to exploiting relative information advantages against our adversaries and to support
effective, unified disaster response. Sharing is inherent in information becoming a force multiplier and results in increased
operational effectiveness. The following factors are challenges that must be addressed to enable information sharing to serve
as a force multiplier: Volume - The amount of data that exists that could support the specific mission need or event. As information
sharing improves, the volume of data available to analyze for decision making will continue to grow. Veracity - The ability
to create relevance and de-conflict potentially conflicting data received from a number of sources. While analysts and decision-makers
may receive more information, more quickly, and from more directions, its accuracy, consistency, authority, currency and completeness
must be validated. Velocity - The timeliness of information required as compared to the ability to obtain, transfer, and share
information. Analysts and decision makers can receive a multitude of information from a variety of sources, in real- or near-real-time.
Vector - Information sharing is increasingly multidirectional and crosses domains and boundaries (e.g., mission, functional,
organizational, security, classification).
