5th Intelligence Exploitation Summit

This educational Summit will enable the Intelligence Community, military intelligence organizations and industry partners to come together in a collaborative, town-hall forum to encourage open and honest conversation regarding the technical challenges of the IC and creating interoperable and shared systems.

With the release of the 2019 National Intelligence Strategy in January there is a push throughout the Intelligence Community to increase collaboration and integrate intelligence systems. This process of integrating IC enterprise systems began six years ago with introduction of IC ITE and according to John Sherman this effort has now reached its “Second Epoch”. This new epoch will push to ensure the flexibility and interoperability of IC enterprises. Sherman is quoted as saying “Just as the Department of Defense needs its weapons systems to be able to interoperate between ground, air, sea and space domains, our IC technologies need to be able to work together as well”. With IC systems interconnected, intelligence stove piping will be reduced and decision makers will be better informed and at the speed of mission.

This symposium will feature senior level discussions that emphasize the critical need for the rapid acquisition and development of intelligence IT capabilities across all services. This program will allow for open and honest dialogue to solve the nation’s most difficult technical and strategic challenges.
