The Intelligence Innovation Division focuses on research and development of advanced technologies and associated analytic processes to understand intelligence hard targets. These hard targets include overt and covert organizations that are characterized by large numbers of interacting actors that give rise to unpredictable and emergent behaviors. We represent targets and situations as complex adaptive systems, and employ new methods to analyze and understand their behavior to mitigate the potential for surprise. We employ synthetic (simulation) tools to allow analysts to perform exploratory analysis of the behaviors of foreign organizations, groups and populations – and their operations.
