Intelligence Management Comments

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.
