Technical Intelligence
Abstract
(U) The Technical Intelligence program provides global scientific and technological (S&T) awareness – an understanding of relevant fields, developments, applications, and opportunities of S&T topics – in order to assist decision-makers in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Engineering (OASD(R&E)) to prepare for an uncertain future. (U) The Technical Intelligence program provides this support through three over-arching areas: Current Threat and Capability Estimates, Technical Watch and Horizon Scanning (TW/HS), and Technical Assessments. The current threat and capability estimate focus area coordinates with multiple U.S. government agencies to characterize today’s global S&T environment – to include threats and opportunities – using intelligence-derived and open source information as well as developing proof-of-concept systems to address identified threats. The TW/HS focus area identifies nascent and disruptive technologies that will shape the future S&T landscape through novel TW/HS tools and engagement with international partners. The technical assessment focus area identifies the military relevance, research opportunities, and policy recommendations for existing and future technologies. Each of these areas is supported by a robust outreach program.
