(S//SI) "What technologies are our SIGINT intelligence
targets using today and what will they use three years from
now?"
(S//SI) That's the question that the SIGINT Development Target
Technology Trends Center (T3C, a.k.a. S3TSD) answers to help
posture SID against strategic surprise. We rely heavily on the
expertise of A&P target offices, DA technologists, private industry
and academia as we track the indicators of change in the current
and planned usage of technologies by our targets. The stronger the
target evidence, the more certain SID is that its technology
developments and investments are on track.
(U//FOUO) Our primary deliverable is a Top 10 List of Target
Technologies which helps drive SID's budget builds and investment
portfolio. It is a living list and we are always looking for expert
input. Please visit our web site ("go t3c") to comment on our list
and view our other products.
(U//FOUO) "How do you scale the T3 process to cover the
broad spectrum of targets and technologies of concern to
SID?"
(U//FOUO) As a SIGINT Development center, we're developing the
"how to" for trends analysis and building a knowledge-based
system to support the maintenance and improvement of the Top
10 List. We're drawing upon existing Agency solutions for the base
capability and adding in competitive intelligence techniques and
tools to mine the Internet and visually display the results for
analysts.
(U//FOUO) We have billets and want to grow our center with
talented, can-do people. If you want to join the T3C, please contact
