Intelligence Equipment

Abstract

Intelligence Equipment (IE) Program Element (PE) performs the engineering development of software, and/or automated information operations techniques to streamline the processing, integration, exploitation, display, and dissemination of strategic and tactical intelligence information. IE provides continuing development and upgrades of threat analysis capabilities to produce integrated, predictive air and space intelligence to enable military operations, force modernization decisions, and policymaking. IE accelerates and increases the accuracy of threat estimates and system descriptions to deployed operational forces. IE also provides clients with accurate, predictive, relevant, and timely intelligence that will support client processes, operational planning, and mission execution. IE is the only Air Force program developing new or upgraded analysis, modeling and simulation tools focused on intelligence production in support of Air Force operational and developmental functions. Each of the development projects within the IE program portfolio transition technologies to the operational communities through the incremental release of upgraded versions over a period of years as the development projects progress towards the final configuration. IE may reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/updated warfighter requirements. Requirements for this PE are gathered and prioritized by the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency (AF ISR Agency). Development of new/improved capabilities to meet the requirements is managed by AFRL/RIEH. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
