utomation of Intelligence Community Requirements and Gaps
In providing services of common concern to the intelligence production
community, the IPC Staff believe that the intelligence community would be
better served if existing requirements and their related gaps could be managed
through an automated data base. Such a system would permit wider access to
data and provide greater opportunities to redress the shortfalls in
intelligence collection as identified through the "intelligence gaps"
process.
2. Pursuant to our conversation, we are requesting that your division
develop an architecture that might automate the data of the Compendium of
Future Intelligence Requirements (COFIR), the National Intelligence Topics of
Current Interest (NITs), and the associated NIT Gaps (developed through annual
surveys of production analysts) in such a way as to provide cross linkage with
each other, with other systems of requirements, and with other iterations of
intelligence gaps as they develop.
3. We understand that such a study might take about two months to
accomplish and would probably involve detailing one of your programers to the
IPC Staff for part of that time. We are prepared to provide your programer
with office space, access to the CIA via an IBM PC, and to
offer whatever additional secretarial, administrative, and consulting support
may be necessary to expedite the study.
