Current Challenges Why Innovate?
Network is converging and dataflow is increasing
Pushing everything back means front-end filtering 9 dr0pped data
Substantial lag to process, store, and query data
Restricted geo-Spatial capabilities (not just because of the hardware)
Manual correlation between SIGINT, HUMINT, SIGACTs
Non-integrated toolsets
No comprehensive theater knowledge base
Non-Optimal collaboration between
Manually intensive production processes
Cannot scale work targets in volume
Reaching limits of legacy systems
Analysis takes a lot of time
Think: Atlantic vs. CNN scrolling bar

Tools and Workflow
Better Tools
I New relationship visualization w/temporal capabilities
I Real-time geo-spatial alerting framework
I Web?based applications optimized for speed in a
distributed environment
I Partnership with Green Dragon to identify and inject new
technologies in much less time
Integrated Framework
I Work in any tool of choice, seamlessly switch to
alternative views (think development 9 presentation)
I Automated, one?click mentality from query to
dissemination
I Developers available to react to analyst needs and inject
new capabilities

Substantial Improvements in Data Access
Initial
Traditional Data Sources (Global Reach touching NSA databases)
SCS GSM collection
Tactical GSM Accesses
I Checkpoint Data
HUMINT lAII-Source derived SIGINT Selectors (parsed CIA TDs,
DOD IIRs, TAREX, DOCEX)
I Local knowledge base
Future
Fully-integrated Iraqi DNI Data flows (initially accessible through
separate web interface)
OBELISK LETC GSM Coverage
VICTORYUNIFORM and other special source
Think: Know everything we collectively know, and faster

VoiceRT: Index I Search of Voice Cuts
Goal: Better filtering and selection using latest generation of voice-
processing technologies
I Perform phonetic indexing on 1 million voice cuts per day
I Run incoming cuts against 1000 individual voice prints to drive real-
time filtering and selection
Optimizes linguist scarce time, does not replace linguists
Increases efficiency of available linguists
Ir Allows to affect collection priorities and react to changing
linguistic {word patterns
Possible future integration with checkpoint collection (voice
biometrics)

Real time Alerting: National and Tactical I
Real-time alerting on hard selectors
Creating a knowledge base within the collection architecture
I Drives selection and filtering
Provides relevant information to war fighter in seconds
Algorithms to Detect and Alert from Patterns of Interest
I Constant enrichment of incoming data flows based on NSA and
GCHQ-developed algorithms
Robust framework to allow to submit/ modify/ reject existing
techniques
Capability to extend algorithms to correlate and react to friendly
actions, geospatial and geotemporal vicinity, etc.
Dedicated effort to identify and detect new potential targets based
on known behavioral patterns
