Summary:
Captain Bray argues that U.S. naval intelligence has been harmed by being subordinated to the Navy’s information warfare (IW) community. His central thesis is that intelligence is not warfare—it is a distinct, cognitive discipline that must remain operationally independent to preserve the integrity of intelligence assessments.
With a separate officer community now responsible for cyber warfare, the cryptologic warfare community must refocus officer develpment on signals intelligence and electronic warfare.
