Predictive Network-Centric Intelligence: Toward a Total-Systems Transformation of Analysis and Assessment

Abstract

This essay argues that intelligence assessment could achieve substantial predictive power, to a degree that greatly exceeds today s standards. It will seek to demonstrate both the need for such a revolution in capability and the feasibility of achieving it, and will outline a strategic program plan to do so. This proposal is designed to implement core elements of the National Intelligence Strategy, the 2004 Intelligence Reform Act, and the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Report and related intelligence reform initiatives and studies.
