INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DIRECTIVE NUMBER 902

GLOBAL MARITIME AND AIR INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION

(EFFECTIVE: 14 JANUARY 2009)

A. AUTHORITY: The National Security Act of 1947, as amended; Executive Order 12333 (EO), as amended; EO 13388; National Security Presidential Directive-41 (NSPD)/Homeland Security Presidential Directive-13 (HSPD), Maritime Security Policy; The National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS); Global Maritime Intelligence Integration (GMll) Plan; NSPD-47/HSPD-16, Aviation Security Policy; The National Strategy for Aviation Security (NSAS); and Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration (ADSII) Plan.

B. PURPOSE: To provide policy and direction to Intelligence Community (IC) elements for integrating activities and information sharing to improve, develop, and enhance maritime and air domain intelligence to effectively identify and respond to national security threats.

C. APPLICABILITY: This Directive applies to the IC, as defined by the National Security Act of 1947, as amended; and such other elements of any other department or agency as may be designated by the President, or designated jointly by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the head of the department or agency concerned, as an element of the IC.

D. POLICY: The success of a globally networked and integrated intelligence capability relies upon a community of interest (COl) willing to share information; a capability to collect, analyze and disseminate intelligence to aid decision advantage; and an oversight role for fiscal, legal and policy implementation. The IC shall, therefore, leverage existing capabilities and develop new means to integrate all available sources of information critical to producing intelligence regarding potential threats to the interests of the United States (U.S.), its Allies and foreign partners in the maritime and air domains. IC stakeholders in the maritime and air COls shall aggressively collaborate and share information to proactively identify and mitigate threats posed within these domains as early and as geographically distant from the U.S. as possible. (Note: The maritime and air domains are inextricably linked with the land, space and cyber domains, e.g., in the context of the transmodal Global Supply Chain. Hereinafter, the use of maritime and air domains will be understood to include that linkage.)

1. Relationships Internal to the Intelligence Community:

a. Global Maritime and Air Intelligence Integration (GMAll) requires the development of an enterprise capability to improve information and intelligence sharing across the maritime and air domains. To achieve this level of collaborative effort, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) will provide oversight of intelligence sharing and integration to ensure government-wide discovery and retrieval of maritime and air information critical to intelligence production. Furthermore, the ODNI will ensure collection and analytical coordination, and be responsible for maritime and air intelligence integration and policy development.

b. In order to maximize intelligence collection and all-source analytic coordination across the Global Maritime Community of Interest (GMCOI) and ensure unity of effort, a national intelligence center for the integration of strategic maritime information will be established at the National Maritime Intelligence Center (NMIC). The primary functions of the center will be the integration of maritime information and intelligence collection and analysis in support of national policy and decisionrnakers, Maritime Domain Awareness objectives, and interagency operations, at all levels. It will also be the maritime intelligence interrace for supporting such other national intelligence centers as the National Counterterrorism Center and National Counterproliferation Center. The Director of the National Maritime Intelligence Center (DINMIC) will serve as the principal advisor to the DNI within the U.S. Intelligence Community for managing operational intelligence activities to identify, locate and track potential threats to U.S. interests across the maritime domain. The D/NMIC will report to the DNI.

c. The Global Air Domain Community of Interest (GADCOI) will work to establish a similar integrated information-sharing capability with an architectural construct to be determined, based upon the conclusion of a baseline study currently underway. At a minimum, a virtual information enterprise shall be implemented to improve analysis, collection and dissemination of intelligence to enhance aviation security.

2. Relationships External to the Intelligence Community:

a. Interagency. To integrate the communities of interest horizontally, the ODNI will serve as the interagency policy focal point for maritime and air intelligence information sharing and integration. The ODNI will:

(1) ensure government-wide information discovery and retrieval, and collection and analytic coordination;

(2) develop policy for integrating maritime and air intelligence, and implementing oversight across domain community intelligence enterprises;

(3) recommend improvements to common corporate intelligence-related programs supporting maritime and air intelligence collection, analysis and integration;

(4) ensure that maritime and air intelligence policies and guidance are compatible, aligned and synchronized with methodology for other threat domains; and

(5) set business process rules, technical standards and mechanisms for adjudicating interagency conflicts.

b. Law Enforcement/Regulatory Communities. To successfully implement the national strategies and supporting plans, the ODNI will develop and maintain collaborative relationships with the law enforcement and regulatory communities. These entities are both customers and contributors of infonnation of intelligence value. The ODNI will be responsible for policy development, programmatic advocacy, and oversight of intelligence integration for the maritime and air domains with IC and non-IC interagency partners.

c. Private Industry. Private industry is an invaluable source of infonnation and training needed to implement national strategies and supporting plans. The interagency must engage private industry to integrate intelligence holistically. The ODNI will lead and oversee IC engagement to ensure appropriate communication paths exist for more effective infonnation sharing and national security assessments. d. Foreign Partners. Ensuring the security of the maritime and air domains is inherently an international effort requiring global maritime and air intelligence enterprises that support the intelligence and infonnation needs of the GMCOI and GADCOI. As authorized, or in accordance with appropriate delegation from the DNI, the ODNI will oversee IC element engagements with foreign partners and international organizations to ensure activities are aligned and synchronized, as well as engage with foreign partners directly as necessary to facilitate partnerships with the IC, to achieve or further national security and intelligence objectives in the maritime and air domains. 3. Nothing in this directive alters existing constitutional or statutory authority or responsibility of any department or agency head to carry out operational activity or to provide or receive infonnation.

E. ROLES AND RESPONSffiILITIES? :

1. Intelligence Community. To enhance intelligence integration across the communities of interest, IC elements wilt:

a. support the goals and objectives of the National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS);

ANNEX C -GLOBAL MARITIME AND AIR INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION

ICD 902, GLOBAL MARITIME AND AIR INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION

The objective of Global Maritime and Air Intelligence Integration (GMAII) is to improve the intelligence capability that is essential to the national security of the United States and, in particular, defense of the homeland. GMAII efforts collaboratively forge and maintain integrated maritime and air intelligence capabilities with a larger audience of stakeholders that are commonly referred to as communities of interest (COL); these include the Global Maritime Community of Interest (GMCOI) and the Global Air Domain Community of Interest (GADCOI). Three strategic objectives have been identified to support the GMAII initiative:

1. providing leadership and advocacy for maritime and air intelligence integration;
2. building COIs for all-source intelligence in the maritime and air domains; and
3. integrating air and maritime intelligence throughout the COIs.

The foundation of GMAII rests upon developing collaborative interagency and international maritime/air intelligence enterprises that support the intelligence and information needs of the GMCOI and the GADCOI. Creating a shared common awareness among intelligence, law enforcement and operational communities is a complex task, and many associated policy and legal implications must be resolved to achieve success. Therefore, the guiding philosophy of GMAII is to pursue community access and integration rather than organizational consolidation of maritime or air intelligence activities. Leaders of the GMCOI and GADCOI intelligence enterprises discussed in this Intelligence Community Directive are responsible for identifying and resolving these issues.

A. Global Maritime Intelligence and Integration

National Security Presidential Directive-41 (NSPD)/Homeland Security Presidential Directive-13 (HSPD), Maritime Security Policy, underscores the importance of securing the maritime domain, defined as "All areas and things of, on, under, relating to, adjacent to, or bordering on a sea, ocean, or other navigable waterway, including all maritime-related activities, infrastructure, people, cargo, and vessels and other conveyances." This policy directed development of a National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS) and eight supporting implementation plans, including:

1. National Plan to Achieve Maritime Domain Awareness;
2. Global Maritime Intelligence Integration Plan;
3. Maritime Operational Threat Response Plan;
4. International Outreach and Coordination Strategy;
5. Maritime Infrastructure Recovery Plan;
6. Maritime Transportation System Security Plan;
7. Maritime Commerce Security Plan; and
8. Domestic Outreach Plan.

Although these plans address different aspects of maritime security, they complement and reinforce one another. The NSMS and its supporting plans represent a comprehensive national effort to prevent hostile or illegal acts within the maritime domain and, thus, enhance the security of the United States. These plans do not alter existing authorities or responsibilities of department and agency heads to carry out operational activities or to provide or receive information.

The Global Maritime Intelligence Integration (GMII) Plan leverages legacy intelligence capabilities, existing policy and operational relationships to integrate all available data, information and intelligence in support of maritime security planning and operations. The overarching requirement is to identify, locate, and track potential threats to U.S. maritime interests and subsequently transfer accurate, relevant, and collaborated information to the appropriate operational entities. The GMCOI includes, among other interests, the federal, state, tribal, and local departments and agencies with responsibilities in the maritime domain. Because certain risks and interests are common to government, industry, and citizens, the community also includes public, private, and commercial stakeholders, as well as foreign governments and international stakeholders. Per the GMII Plan, the maritime intelligence enterprise is a loose federation of departments, agencies and organizations having a maritime and maritime intelligence focus with operational entities that are frequently the source of critical information needed for intelligence analysis. In the United States, this GMCOI intelligence enterprise includes the entities within the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, State, Justice, and Energy; the Intelligence Community, and other U.S. government departments with responsibility for international maritime trade, foreign security and intelligence services. The maritime intelligence enterprise includes a strategic-level Core Element to leverage specialized maritime cells at national centers, and theater/area and field intelligence centers that will provide dedicated support for maritime security operations. Federal agency representatives from policy, law enforcement, intelligence, and diplomatic arenas are included. The maritime intelligence enterprise integrates maritime intelligence, particularly in terms of converting intelligence analysis into actions by policymakers, operational forces, and law enforcement entities domestically and overseas. These elements collaborate with state and local law enforcement agencies, marine industry partners, the general public and foreign partners to ensure maritime intelligence is integrated across the full spectrum of agencies at all echelons.

B. Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration

NSPD-47/HSPD-16, Aviation Security Policy, establishes U.S. policy, guidelines and implementation actions to continue enhancing U.S. homeland security and national security by protecting the United States and its interests from threats in the Air Domain. This domain is defined as the global airspace --including domestic, international, and foreign airspace --as well as all manned and unmanned [operating] aircraft, and people and cargo present in that airspace, and all aviation-related infrastructures. NSPD-47/HSPD-16 directed the development of the National Strategy for Aviation Security (NSAS) and the following seven supporting plans:

1. Aviation Transportation System Security Plan;
2. Aviation Operational Threat Response Plan;
3. Aviation Transportation System Recovery Plan;
4. Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration Plan (see following);
5. International Aviation Threat Reduction Plan;
6. Domestic Outreach Plan; and
7. International Outreach Plan.

Although they address different aspects of aviation security, these plans are mutually dependent and complement one another. When combined with critical performance measures, these plans create the integrated foundation essential for an effective strategy, and they should be regularly assessed to ensure progress in the Nation's aviation security program. These plans do not alter existing authorities or responsibilities of department and agency heads to carry out operational activities and to provide or receive information. Together, the NSAS and its supporting plans enhance the security of the United States and its interests, including all lawful and legitimate public and private activities in the Air Domain.

The Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration Plan is focused on maximizing air domain awareness through carefully directed action. Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration directs development and improvement of new capabilities that enable persistent and effective monitoring of all aircraft, cargo, people, and infrastructure in identified areas of interest and at designated times, consistent with protecting civil liberties and privacy. These plans promote the collection and analysis of appropriate data, as well as methods for distribution to a range of policymakers and operational users, to inform their decisionmaking about threats emerging either at home or abroad.
