| | Special Operations Command, Research, Analysis, and Threat Evaluation |
| | System (SOCRATES) |
| | Primary Purpose | Umbrella concept of systems, provides automated |
| | intelligence connectivity and functional |
| | intelligence support to the SOF community. |
| | Sub-Functions | LAN provides personnel with access to the Defense |
| | Intelligence Threat Data System (DITDS), |
| | Intelligence Data Handling System (IDHS), Modular |
| | Architecture for Exchange of Intelligence |
| | (MAXI), Defense Data Network (DDN), and |
| | administrative message handling, transferring and |
| | formatting functions. |
| | |
| | DITDS: combines databases allowing users to |
| | filter through massive amounts of current and |
| | historical information/intelligence legend data |
| | and select, save, modify and/or transmit as |
| | required. Provides access to specialized |
| | collection of information on terrorism, |
| | counter-narcotics (Emerald) database, and special |
| | operations (SOLOG) database. Provides tools |
| | necessity to generate timely and accurate |
| | assessments, warning and threat analysis, and |
| | on-line access to record traffic communications |
| | system (GENSER/DSSCS and AFAMPE). |
| | |
| | IDHS: primary repository of all data required to |
| | analyze and maintain information necessary to |
| | support normal operations and to adequately |
| | respond to a crisis situation. Provides access |
| | to the CENTCOM/SOCOM Integrated Data System |
| | (CSIDS/IDB), Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) |
| | and Military Intelligence Information Data System |
| | Integrated Data System (MIIDS/ITB). |
| | |
| | MAXI/MIDAS: Automated intelligence message |
| | handling system; organizes the flow of |
| | operational traffic, facilitates review of |
| | incoming information, provides access to internal |
| | message and work files, intra-communication, |
| | report generation capabilities. |
| | |
| | DDN/SCAMPI: remote host access connects |
| | approximately 50 commands and agencies comprising |
| | the Department of Defense Intelligence |
| | Information System (DODIIS). |
| | Equipment Requirements | ADP System is three mainframe computer systems |
| | with internet/NIPR/SIPR capability and SCI LAN. |
| | Standard stand-alone configuration is a 486 PC |
| | with modem and video card, though a Pentium |
| | processor is desired. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | USSOCOM SCI LAN, SOCSOUTH LAN, VAIOUS COMPONENT |
| | SCI LAN, SOCEUR LAN, SOCPAT LAN. Remote LANs |
| | connected through SCAMPI communications. |
| | Deployed terminal connected though tactical |
| | communication at 256 Kbps - 1.544 MBPS data rate |
| | from CINCSOC to JSOTF. |
| | Crypto Requirements | The same as the SCI LAN or SCAMPI. |
| | Normal Locations | USSOCOM, COMPONENT HEADQUARTERS, USCENTCOM, |
| | SOCSOUTH, SOCEUR, and SOCPAC, JSOC, Special |
| | Forces Group Military Intelligence Companies, and |
| | Ranger Battalions. |
| Information Managed | Record traffic communications, and a variety of |
| databases to include: CSIDS/IDB, MIIDS/IDB, |
| SOLOG, and EMERALD. |
| Products Created | Data, imagery, message traffic, mapping. See |
| sub-functions. |
