| | Intelligence Analysis System (IAS) |
| | Primary Purpose | The IAS is the "hub" for all other indigenous |
| | Marine Corps intelligence systems. It provides a |
| | modular, configurable, intelligence information |
| | collection, control, processing, and |
| | dissemination system that allows using units to |
| | rapidly assess enemy situations and battlefield |
| | conditions. The IAS will use current versions of |
| | the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) |
| | Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and |
| | Intelligence (C4I) Software Baseline (MSBL), |
| | enhanced with Intelligence segments. The IAS may |
| | be deployed as an IAS Suite, MEF IAS, or IAS |
| | workstation. The IAS Suites consist of two |
| | variants, V1 and V2. The V1 variant has two |
| | workstations while the V2 has four. IAS suites |
| | are Hewlett-Packard UNIX hardware. MEF IAS is a |
| | Sun Sparc and the Intelligence Operations |
| | Workstation (IOW) is an IBM Laptop Computer in a |
| | Windows NT environment. |
| | Sub-Functions | Intelligence database management, situation maps, |
| | desktop publishing, journal, workbook and |
| | message handler, electronic light table, tactical |
| | collection management. |
| | Equipment Requirements | Marine Common Hardware Suite (MCHS) class B |
| | workstations: SunSparc for MEF IAS; HP |
| | workstations for IAS Suites; and PC Laptops for |
| | the Windows NT IAS Workstations. |
| | File/Communication Servers and Tactical |
| | Communications Interface Modules. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | AUTODIN Mode I/II, STUIII with 9600 baud or |
| | higher, SATCOM, HF, VHF, UHF, and Ethernet bridge |
| | (TCP/IP). |
| | Crypto Requirements | KIV-7, KIV-19, KG-194A, or KG-84C if connecting |
| | into DII. |
| | Normal Locations | Intelligence BNs and G-2/S-2 sections of |
| | MEF/MEB/MEU, Divisions, Wings, FSSGs, REGTs, |
| | MAGs, BNs, and SQDNs. |
| | Information Managed | Tactical intelligence. |
| | Products Created | Intelligence databases and standard reports, |
| | digital situation maps, desktop publishing |
| | briefs, journals, target folders, and basic |
| | imagery manipulation. |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | USMC/Multiple. |
| | Current Fielding Status | The IAS family is fielded. Two MEF IAS systems |
| | are deployed with each of the three MEFs and one |
| | is at NMITC. 70 IAS suites are deployed to |
| | active and reserve |
| | division/wings/regiments/groups and each of the |
| | seven MEUs. 300+ IOW workstations went to active |
| | and reserve battalions/squadrons. The IAS suite |
| | hardware is being in upgraded in FY01 with |
| | improvements in overall footprint and processing |
| | power that make the systems lighter, faster, and |
| | more manageable. |
| | Known Problems | None. |
| | DIICOE Compliance Rating | Level 7. |
