01.08.13 | 1 min read | Text by Steven Aftergood

The Director of National Intelligence issued a directive last month prescribing procedures for major system acquisitions by elements of the intelligence community.

The directive defines a multi-phase process for identifying critical needs, evaluating alternative paths to meet those needs, and so forth.

See Intelligence Community Directive 115, “Intelligence Community Capability Requirements Process,” December 21, 2012.
