Weapons Technical Intelligence Global Pursuit Strategy CDR Mike Egan Helping Warfighters adapt The overall classification of this briefing is JULY 2015
Integrating Capabilities across Joint/ IA/ International communities Problem: The DoD lacks a single proponent to coordinate, lead, and advocate the exploitation of improvised weapons, contributing significant risk to countering the growing information deficit. helps synchronize these activities Joint Lead Conventional Unconventional Improvised Joint Proponent Office DIA Joint Foreign Material Program Office DTRA Domestic Nuclear Event Attribution Program JIDA Weapons Technical Intelligence Service / Force Providers s efforts are aligned to JIDA s mandate to lead, advocate, and coordinate all DoD actions in support of the CCMDs and their respective Joint Task Forces efforts to defeat IEDs as weapons of strategic influence Army Defense Forensics Science Center Air Force Digital and Multimedia Forensics Navy Navy EOD Technical Division USMC Analysis Center DoJ TEDAC NETF NCETR NATO/EU Joint Defense Lab FVEY Torchlight DSTL Enabling Stakeholders NCIS DEA SOCOM NEL FVEYs JPO DIA DTRA JIDA s ability to anticipate improvised weapons threats and prevent battlefield surprise is dependent on an integrated, whole-of-government model focused on collection, exploitation, and analysis 2 2
objectives enable JIDA s priorities JIDA Priorities Priorities Functions Objectives 1. Respond Rapidly to Warfighter Requirements 2. Support the Combatant Commands 3. Remain the Center of Gravity in the IED Fight 4. Continue to Adapt and Transform Vision & Guidance 1. Respond Rapidly to the Warfighter Development of collection, exploitation, and analysis material and non-material solutions. 2. Support the CCMD s and SOF Enable the framework and enabling activities through the ROMO for the Geographic Combatant Command (GCC) 3. Information Sharing Establish the foundation for information sharing architecture and data management strategy to ensure effective and efficient sharing of information across the Joint, IA, international, and multinational community. 4. Integration of collection and exploitation across JIIM community Coordinate an enduring Enterprise Strategy by integrating and Collection capabilities and key mission enablers across DoD and the JIIM communities Enterprise Proponency Burden Sharing and Capacity Building Requirements Development and Capability Integration Information Sharing Support to Global Operations Enable Global Collection and Enterprise Anticipate Future Battlefield Surprise Enable Tech Incubation and Anticipatory Acquisition Sustain Improvised Weapons Threat Awareness is a small footprint, high-value Branch focused on ensuring JIDA retains and evolves it s enabling enterprise of C-IED collection & exploitation resources and processes 3 3
Anticipating the rapid evolution of weapons threats Industry and State Sponsored Terrorist & Insurgency Groups Recognizing Potential Communicate, Share, & Plan Refine & Adapt Lack of precision military weaponry Commercial application of GPS Need to connect people to information Moore s Law: "The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months." Need for insurgency to counter conventional forces Need to Increase Battlefield Effect Problem Solving Converging technology creates disruptive innovations Innovation & Discovery Commercial Convergence Game Changing Tactical Innovation Testing Employment Collection and Drives Understanding Adaptive improvised threats are proliferating and evolving at an accelerating pace requiring a whole-of-government and rest-of-world approach to prevent battlefield surprise and drive anticipatory actions 4
