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.
Students work to develop Indications and Warnings (I & W) products that are intelligence-based activities intended to detect and report on time-intelligence information of foreign developments that could involve a threat to U.S. military, political, or economic interests.
Analysts develop collection requirements to drive the utilization of OSINT tools, databases, and tradecraft to monitor activities of interest relevant to client needs (surface, deep, and dark web).
Analysts work to detect, prevent, and investigate money laundering of malicious groups, such as drug cartels, terrorists, and nation-states.
Analysts work with real-world programs to devise protocols and solutions for reporting human trafficking, educating potential targets and victims, developing resources for law enforcement, creating a data repository all members can access, and attacking networks.
