Should We Rely on Intelligence Cycle?

Intelligence cycle is a systematic process which is usually applied in order to obtain intelligence from raw data. Today the world has been experiencing dazzling changes on many fields as well as technology. With the help of the new emerging technologies the data that have to be handled for intelligence is much more than ever. In addition to new technological contributions, there are discussions about intelligence cycle whether it’s being out-dated and old fashioned. Intelligence cycle was mainly prepared due Soviet threat. After the collapse of Soviet Union, concept of security has shifted drastically. And consequently, people have started to question its validity. The biggest question is about the intelligence cycle model. Does the process meet today’s needs? If not so what should be done in order to attain more effective intelligence? Therefore, this paper deals with the knowledge hierarchy and intelligence cycle with view to state viability of intelligence cycle in today’s condition and moreover examines new approaches to intelligence development process.
