Theme Description/Scope For the purposes of this discussion intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign countries or areas. Information and knowledge about an adversary obtained through observation, investigation, analysis, or understanding. Situational Awareness, or SA, which is one of the subthemes to intelligence resides in the cognitive process that creates a mental picture of the environment. This can be achieved best when the information obtained is accurate and thorough, timely, pertinent, relevant to the task ahead and to apply the right force de frappe. SA needs to be common to those participating. This is achievable only if information is fused, woven, well integrated, in the CONOPs from the start. The other subthemes to intelligence include information assurance and scalable security.
