Automated ISR Symposium

Automating and Integrating ISR Data for Robust Intelligence Production

 

February 24-25, 2015

Mary M. Gates Learning Center- Alexandria, VA

The United States Government’s ISR community (Intelligence Community, Military Services, and Law Enforcement Agencies ) face a continued challenge to improve exploitation of ISR data: technological advancements in collection capacity have increased the need for IC Agencies to integrate intelligence data rapidly and disseminate timely, robust intelligence products.

“This “ISR” capability has revolutionized intelligence. It’s enabled the “find, fix, finish, analyze, and repeat…”
*The Honorable James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, Defense Strategies Institute’s 2014 Automated ISR Symposium

Across the intelligence community the challenge facing all analysts is the volume of information collected. DSI’s Automated Intelligence Symposium will provide an updated perspective from critical organizations that require advanced tools and techniques to ensure analysts are able to exploit dramatically increased ISR data.

Why Should You Attend This Symposium: With ever increasing technology and sophistication of sensors the amount of information being collected has challenged the IC to more efficiently process, exploit, and disseminate (PED) critical intelligence. Today the Armed Services and intelligence agencies must continue to enhance ISR capabilities through continued process improvement and automation, as well as architecture to ensure the IC operates as effectively as possible in support of its customers. The 2015 Automated ISR Symposium will focus on areas of analysis that are most suitable for automation to increase efficiency. The event will also focus on IC integration efforts including the IC Information Technology Enterprise and novel approaches to intelligence activities such as activity based intelligence to provide quicker, more actionable intelligence. Data sensor fusion across platforms is critical to increasing ISR capacity and capability particularly when funding is not being increased. DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits’ content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in human and technical intelligence analysis from military ISR commanders to key policy-makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
