Defense Intelligence Strategy

Abstract

Defense intelligence today operates in a world markedly different from the one in which it developed. The emergence of a highly interconnected global economy is reshaping international alliances, speeding the adoption of technologies, and giving rise to the development of new economic centers. This interconnected world, while offering opportunities to many, also presents significant national security risks. Regional instability resulting from the spread of religious fundamentalism, massive population shifts, and competition for natural resources and other factors will foster new requirements for defense intelligence. The complex and interrelated forces at work will transform societies and recast the intelligence priorities, strategies, and methods necessary to meet the unique demands of a dynamic 21st century.
