The Intelligence Community Information Science
Training Program announces another offering of the
popular three-week "Survey of Intelligence Informa-
tion Systems." This interagency course is designed
to introduce professional intelligence personnel to
the uses of information handling systems and their
application in the Intelligence Community.
Each student will be taught to use a computer
terminal and to apply computer library programs to
intelligence problems. Fundamental techniques applying
the principles of Information Science to the solution
of intelligence analytic problems will be demonstrated.
Field trips to NSA, CIA, and other community agencies
will emphasize the role of computer-based intelligence
information handling systems. Selected developments
throughout the Intelligence Community will be described
by members of the Information Science faculty and guest
speakers.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To familiarize the student with the capabilities,
limitations, contents, and applicability of several
major operational intelligence systems in the Intel-
ligence Community.
2. To introduce the student to developments in
Systems Concepts as a vehicle for the cross-
fertilization of techniques and ideas throughout the
Intelligence Community.
3. To improve the student's ability to communicate
with professionals in this field.
4. To provide a wider range of rational choices to
the professional in the analysis, problem solving,
and decision making tasks he encounters, through an
introduction to Community-wide applications of
Information Science techniques.
