Intelligence & Security

Abstract

The Intelligence and Security program provides multi-disciplinary intelligence and security for the Missile Defense System (MDS) acquisition, development, test and deployment. The Intelligence and Security Major Program Goals are: -- Ensure the Intelligence Community (IC) understands and fulfills MDA's current and future prioritized intelligence requirements; advocate Missile Defense test intelligence requirements; and work closely with the IC. -- Leverage available National and DoD Counterintelligence resources. Ensure counterintelligence products and services are fully integrated into all RDT&E programs and activities to protect classified information and critical technologies and to protect Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and MDS personnel, facilities, information and activities. -- Define cybersecurity systems engineering requirements for MDS assets. Identify cybersecurity systems engineering and infrastructure intelligence requirements to focus IC collection, analysis and production to target MDA/MDS cyber vulnerabilities. Incorporate cybersecurity engineering requirements into the MDS systems engineering process. -- Provide cross-Agency acquisition security oversight and support for the identification and protection of Critical Program Information (CPI), and evaluation and implementation of developing Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) requirements. Provide physical security for MDS weapons/sensor system deployments, including Foreign Military Sales (FMS). Implement MDA's information security and declassification programs. Strengthen Test and Operations Security (OPSEC) across the Agency. The Security and Intelligence Project captures five specific areas: 1) Intelligence 2) Counterintelligence 3) Cybersecurity Engineering 4) Program Protection, and 5) Threat Systems Engineering. Collectively, these efforts provide critical information regarding threat ballistic missile system capabilities; protection of personnel, activities, and technology from espionage and terrorism; and identification and mitigation of MDS system vulnerabilities.
