3.3.2.5. Intelligence Mission Data Support

3.3.2.5.1. Intelligence Mission Data (IMD) is DoD intelligence used for programming platform mission systems in development, testing, operations, and sustainment. IMD includes, but is not limited to, the functional areas of signatures, electromagnetic warfare integrated reprogramming (EWIR), order of battle (OOB), characteristics and performance (C&P), and GEOINT. Sponsors should engage local intelligence support to understand how to levy IMD into capability requirement development. Sponsors shall consider and address IMD requirements throughout the capability’s lifecycle to ensure availability to support needs in development and through sustainment. For descriptions of the IMD functional types and linkages to existing IMD repositories, see Reference [48] and SIPRNET: https://intellipedia.intelink.sgov.gov/wiki/Intelligence_Mission_Data_Center.

3.3.2.5.2. If the capability solution is IMD-dependent, Sponsors must address the following: list the relevant IMD functional area(s); whether requirements have been submitted in the appropriate IMD management system; an assessment of the IC’s ability to support the requirements; and the status of the program’s LMDP.

3.3.2.5.2.1. When a capability’s KPPs, KSAs, or other performance attributes depend upon another program, the Sponsor must also address the IMD requirements of the IMD-dependent subsystem(s) and LMDP(s).

3.3.2.5.2.2. In cases where different levels of IMD contribute to different levels of performance, Sponsors should use a risk assessment methodology to evaluate requirements, and assess the criticality of different IMD levels IAW CJCSI 3318.01 and potential shortfalls, against performance attributes and mission effectiveness. Sponsors should also be prepared to address any residual IMD shortfalls during FCB capability reviews, specifically the impact on the capability when IMD shortfalls exist. In such circumstances, the Sponsor should be prepared to describe mitigating strategies including change in CONOPS, change in system design, or a recommendation to offset shortfalls through increased resourcing when a decrement in the capability delivered is unacceptable.
