Q

Information vs Intelligence

A

Information is raw data that does not have context, while intelligence is information that is analyzed within a certain context and strung together to inform others’ decisions.

Q

What four things does acquisition intelligence ensure?

A

Acquisitions intelligence ensures acquired capabilities:

  • Meet or exceed current and future threat projections by informing the requirements process for establishing threat-based performance parameters to help the PM understand threat-based risks to trade space.
  • Have the effective intelligence support when needed for development
  • Have the effective intelligence support when needed for testing
  • Have the effective intelligence support when needed for accomplishing the operational mission
