Description

National Maritime Intelligence Center (NMIC) will be hosting a winter technology exposition on Tuesday, February 27, 2001. This event will be promoted to the Office of Naval Intelligence, Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), and the Coast Guard Intelligence Coordination Center (ICC)/ Within the near future, representatives from Customs will be permanently in place within NMIC, and ONI anticipates expanding that contribution by hosting representatives from other executive departments, e.g., Energy, Justice, Treasury, Drug Enforcement Agency, Environmental Protection Agency, and others concerned with civil shipping. The mission of the Naval Intelligence is part of the "corporate enterprise" of military intelligence agencies working within the Intelligence Community. Naval intelligence products and services support the operating forces, the Department of the Navy, and the maritime intelligence requirements of national level agencies. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), located at NMIC, is the national production center for global maritime intelligence center. ONI is the principal source for maritime intelligence on global merchant affairs and a national leader in other non-traditional maritime issues such as counter narcotics, fishing issues, ocean dumping of radioactive waste, technology transfer, and counter proliferation. ONI also provides specific products in support of national level acquisition programs, including characteristics and performance data on foreign threat platforms and weapons systems. ONI's technical expertise in analyzing naval weapons and systems, combined with the operational expertise of its intelligence and warfare specialists, allows for more effective analysis of the complex questions of contemporary naval capabilities and for a more accurate projection of those capabilities into the future. Our last show at this location attracted over 335 attendees. With the great support from the Information Technology Directorate we expect another magnificent event. NMIC houses all of ONI except for a small Pentagon staff, all of MCIA except for the small detachment at Quantico and the entire Coast Guard Intelligence effort previously located at Buzzard's Point. Management of the National Maritime Intelligence database occurs at NMIC. ONI is the center of expertise for every major maritime issue from the analysis of the design and construction of foreign surface ships to the collection and analysis of acoustic information on foreign sensor systems, ocean surveillance systems, submarine platforms and undersea weapons systems. It's analysis of naval air warfare ranges from appraisals of opposition combat tactics to analysis of rival missile signatures, making it the authoritative resource for maritime air issues. They also have a huge intelligence budget. This is definitely not an event to miss!
