MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration)-Related Research for the Imagery Intelligence Area

摘要

This investigation addresses the need to identify potential MANPRINT-related research issues in the Army Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) Area and develop a research plan for studying those issues. Potential research issues were identified through the review of documents related to imagery intelligence and corps-level doctrine and through interviews with functional subject matters experts (SMEs) in the intelligence community. Following the identification of potential research issues, the authors developed a research strategy to address the issues and a plan for a research demonstration in an imagery intelligence field exercise. The literature review and interviews with SMEs identified a number of MANPRINT-related issues. The issues were grouped into five categories of MANPRINT-related topics: (1) Manpower and Personnel; (2) Training; (3) Human Factors/Health Hazards; (4) Organizational Structure; and (5) Requirements Analysis. A sixth category, engineering and facilities, impacts on many of the MANPRINT-related factors. The IMINT MANPRINT-related issues and the research strategy identified in this report provide a foundation for building a research program that supports decision makers in the intelligence community.
