| All Source Analysis System (ASAS) |
| Primary Purpose | ASAS is the cornerstone of the Army's |
| "intelligence system of systems" supporting |
| automatic intelligence analysis production |
| dissemination and asset management. ASAS fuses |
| threat information from all intelligence |
| disciplines and provides correlated intelligence |
| to maneuver commanders and staffs down to |
| battalion level. Commanders use ASAS products to |
| better comprehend enemy capabilities and |
| intentions. At national and tactical levels ASAS |
| receives and correlates data from national |
| theater and tactical intelligence sensors/sources |
| and correlates the information to produce a |
| common picture of the ground situation. ASAS is |
| the Army's premier intelligence analysis system. |
| Sub-Functions | ASAS assists intelligence managers to rapidly |
| process and disseminate intelligence information, |
| nominate targets, and manage Intelligence, |
| Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets. |
