The intelligence community is an agile enterprise. An astonishing volume of information is gathered through all source collection methods, is assessed, and in many cases is further enriched to assure its relevance to national policy issues, mission planning, and operational use. For example, ubiquitous sensors scan potential trouble spots continually, night and day, in all weather. Full-spectrum data is focused and filtered so that it can be efficiently processed by teams of production analysts. Data is fed into models and simulations so that options can be realistically assessed.
Information can easily flow across security levels.
