CIRAT Service - Strategic Intelligence
Analysts use Open-Source Intelligence to assist clients in providing data and products that help decision-makers make timely and informed decisions. Our students identify networks and victims, provide resources for law enforcement, and develop intelligence-based activities to detect and report intelligence information about foreign or domestic developments that could indicate a threat to U.S. security, political or economic interests, or the private sector. Services offered include geospatial events, indications and warnings, monitoring, anti-money laundering, as well as anti-human trafficking.
Analysts identify national and international activities that could have policy, security, and political implications. Analysts utilize PMESII-PT and DIME to identify the operational environment, allowing for strategic planning and action development courses.
