Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JISR) is vital for all military operations, as it provides decision-makers and action-takers with a better situational awareness of the conditions on the ground, in the air, at sea, in space and in the cyber domain.
NCIA supports the collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination of intelligence data and information to those who need it.
We integrate Alliance and national Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, policies, procedures and systems to provide information support to leaders, commanders and decision-makers - from the political and strategic domains, down to the tactical level.
NCIA is responsible for a wide range of activities related to JISR, from helping develop strategies and policies to acquiring, implementing, integrating and testing solutions.
Our services are geared toward serving NATO Forces, but they can also be used and adapted by NATO Nations and Partners.
Our well-trained, highly knowledgeable and uniquely experienced staff work in four key JISR areas:
- Intelligence Applications Services
- Operational Support Services
- Electronic Warfare and Sensor Services
- Geospatial Services
NCIA personnel also assist with the ISR data-collection processes, development and provision of ISR tools, the execution and accreditation of the NISRF infrastructure as well as integrating the NATO infrastructure with the AGS infrastructure. Additional support covers the relocation of Communications and Information System infrastructure for the NISRF following its relocation into its new Headquarters building.
