Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with collection requirements managers, analytic elements, and consumers to ensure HUMINT collection operations have the necessary focus, guidance, and relevancy

  • Use statistical, algorithmic, data mining, and visualization techniques to find, interpret, and act on ISR data sources
