We have been working hard to think about what our combined needs are going to be in the way of intelligence capabilities, not today but 15 to 20 years in the future.

Over the course of two years, we arrived at a point where we began to look at the value added by making information more easily accessible across the intelligence community, both defense and national.

That is really not much different from the search engines that are being constructed today for users throughout the entire world to allow them to search through databases to access the information that they require.

In other words, by finding the anomalous event, what you do is you get out ahead of activities.

When you live in a networked environment, it's possible to separate data from applications.

But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence.

So we have a group within the office that is devoted to support for the war fighter. That's, of necessity, an operational and tactical level of concern.
