Good evening:

My name is José Abreu, I am 38 years old, Portuguese, and I am a student at the Portuguese Military Academy in Lisbon, where I am getting a Masters Degree in Information Warfare and Competitive Intelligence. I would like to send you my Resume, for your information.

I also hold degrees in Management, International Relations and Informations & Security.

I am preparing my Master Thesis in Special Operations and Intelligence, specifically, Special Operations in Counterinsurgency and the role of Intelligence.

However, Intelligence is in fact my deepest passion and its really the field in which I am striving to make full time Research or work, in the future. When I first thought about what could be a simple, straightforward, initial Project for the study of Intelligence, the following grid of approach came to my mind:

INTELLIGENCE

1) The concepts

What is intelligence?
- The Elements of Intelligence
- Def. Intelligence
- Domestic Intelligence
- Early Warning System e Target Approach
- The Role of the Media and Public Opinion and perception Management

Intelligence cycle
- Intelligence Production Cycle ( for which there are many versions)

Methods of collection
- Collection
- HUMINT, SIGINT, COMINT, TELINT, ELINT, MASINT
- Open Source Collection
- Intelligence and the Information Age

Analysis
- Analysis
- Intelligence Analysis and Production
- Analist/Case office AND Analist/Political Decision Maker

Dissemination
- Forecasting/Estimating/National Intelligence Estimate
- Analist/Case office AND Analist/Political Decision Maker

Covert action
- Covert Action
- Psychology and Intelligence


2) The fields of application

Law enforcement
- Intelligence and Law Enforcement
- Organized Crime, Terrorism and Intelligence

Business
- Economics and Intelligence
- Competitive Intelligence

Military
- Intelligence in a MILITARY CONTEXT (connecting with EBO, ONA)

Counter-intelligence
- Cryptography and CounterIntelligence

Counter-terrorism
- Intelligence and TERRORISM
- Organized Crime, Terrorism and Intelligence

Another Approach would be to look at the evolution of the basic Intelligence Concepts, needed to tackle the following set of threats

- Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism.
- WMD
- Transnational Organized Crime
- CyberTerrorism

My greatest aspiration in life is to be able to produce Research and work in the field of Intelligence, which is indeed my deepest passion.

Looking forward to hear from you!

Thank you very much for your attention.

José Abreu.
