The Intelligence SIGINT Application shall provide the Tactical SIGINT analysis capability to meet the Commander’s Critical Information Requirements. The Intelligence Application will provide the capabilities to receive and process Tactical SIGINT reports at the appropriate security levels, and will provide to store, exploit and disseminate the SIGINT data, information, and intelligence products in support of the All Source analysis process and the Commander’s decision-making process.

The Intelligence Application shall have the capability to retrieve data from a national SIGINT database and from the Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) to populate the local SIGINT repository at the proper security levels. The Intelligence Application will provide to correlate and de-duplicate the SIGINT parametric data from multiple sources. The Intelligence Application will provide the emitter mapping capability for situation awareness and will provide the capability to refine the emitter geolocation information in order to provide an improved location approximation and probability of error information.

The Intelligence Application will have the tools to assist the analysts to identify entities of interest include methods, motives, capabilities, and vulnerabilities; determines malicious behavior; recognizes emergent patterns and linkages.
