112.1 State the purpose of Naval Intelligence.
Naval intelligence provides insights into this uncertain world, both in peace and in war. Properly employed, intelligence can give us an accurate estimate of the situation, forecast likely adversary courses of action, and allow us to apply selective but decisive combat power throughout the battle space. Naval intelligence can lessen the unknowns and reduce risk for friendly forces.
112.2 State the six steps of the Intelligence process.
- Planning and Direction - Identification and need for intelligence by the commander’s PIRs (Priority Intelligence Requirements).
- Collection - Tasking appropriate collection assets and/or resources to acquire the data and information required to satisfy collection objectives.
- Processing and Exploitation: Raw data is transformed into information, used by analysts to produce multidiscipline intelligence products.
- Analysis and Production: Integrating, evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting information from single or multiple sources into a finished intelligence product.
- Dissemination and Integration: Intelligence is integrated into the decision-making and planning processes.
- Evaluation and Feedback: Continuous evaluation streamlines the process to improve performance

- Operational Intelligence – Required for planning operations within regional theaters or areas of operations. It concentrates on intelligence collection, identification, location, and analysis to support the operational level of warfare, which includes identifying an adversary’s operational critical vulnerabilities.
- Tactical Intelligence – Required for planning and conducting tactical operations at the component or unit level. It focuses on a potential adversary’s capabilities, their immediate intentions, and the environment.
112.4 Define National, Theater, and Fleet Level Intelligence Organizations.

- US person – A non-citizen of the US; an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Does not posess US Citizenship.
112.9 Define intelligence preparation of the battlespace environment.
- Intelligence preparation of the battlespace environment includes systematic and continuous analysis of the adversary, terrain, and weather in the assigned or potential battle space. The goals include understanding the adversary’s forces, doctrine, tactics, and probable courses of action, together with the physical and environmental characteristics of the target area.
112.10 Describe the National Intelligence Leadership structure.
- The Director of Naval Intelligence exercises staff supervision over the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), which provides the intelligence necessary to plan, build, train, equip, and maintain US naval forces.
- The National Maritime Intelligence Center consists of ONI, the US Coast Guard (USCG) Intelligence Coordination Center, the Navy Information Operations Command, and detachments of the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA) and Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
112.11 Explain ISR mission requirements and fundamentals.
- Intelligence , Surveillance and Reconnaissance requirements generally focus on meeting the commander’s intelligence needs in order to prevent surprise, support war gaming and planning, support decisions related to friendly COAs, engage high payoff targets in support of friendly COA. Fundamentals include integration of ISR missions into a single plan that capitalizes on the different capabilities of each element and other information-gathering assets.
112.12 Explain the function of an Intelligence Fusion Cell
- Fusion is the process of collecting and examining information from all available sources and intelligence disciplines to derive as complete an assessment as possible of detected activity. Draws on the complementary strengths of all intelligence disciplines, and relies on an all-source approach to intelligence collection and analysis.
112.13 Describe the following: HUMINT; OSINT; MASINT; SIGINT; COMINT; FISINT; ELINT; IMINT; ACINT
a. HUMINT – Human Intelligence is the gathering of information through human contact.
b. OSINT – Open Source Information is derived from newspapers, journals, radio, television and the internet.
c. MASINT – Measurement and Signature Intelligence is scientific and technical intelligence information obtained by quantitative and qualitative analysis of data (metric, angle, spatial, wavelength, time dependence, modulation, plasma, and hydromagnetic).
d. SIGINT – Signals Intelligence includes transmissions associated with communications, radars, and weapons systems used by our adversaries.
e. COMINT – Communications Intelligence gained through the interception of foreign communications, excluding open radio and television broadcasts. It is a subset of SIGINT.
f. FISINT – Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence is technical information and intelligence derived from the intercept of foreign electromagnetic emissions associated with the testing and operational deployment of non-US aerospace, surface and subsurface systems. This includes telemetry, beaconry, electronic interrogators, and video data links.
g. ELINT – Electronic Intelligence is technical and geolocation intelligence derived from foreign non-communications electromagnetic radiation emanating from detonations or radioactive sources.
h. IMINT - Imagery Intelligence is derived from the exploitation of collection by visual photography, infrared sensors, lasers, electro-optics, and radar sensors.
i. ACINT - Acoustic Intelligence is intelligence derived from the collection and processing of acoustic phenomena.
