i2 software is both proven and trusted by the military and by allies and coalition partners worldwide. An integrated suite of products adds value throughout the intelligence cycle and brings clarity to complex scenarios.

The worldwide threat of terrorism is ever present and conflicts continue to be fought across the globe. Terrorist groups are becoming more coherent and sophisticated and the threats are frequently asymmetric, meaning that the military and security services are often unable to predict where, or even when, the next threat may come.

Time critical information sharing, joint collaboration and interoperability, and the ability to identify future risks and predict potential threats remain vital for successful co-operation. However, maximizing the use of communication channels and establishing links and networks are only some of the challenges facing those tackling ever-increasing security threats.

The unmatched power of i2’s suite of products has been proven to significantly increase the productivity of operational teams, saving time and resources. Over 2,000 organizations, in 130 countries worldwide, use i2 software providing data fusion and analysis solutions. Designed purely for data analysis, i2’s software allows military and national security organizations to store, process and then extract relevant information to meet operational needs, providing an easy to use data fusion solution that can facilitate quicker response times to decision makers.

Key Benefits

Visualize, analyze, investigate and understand military intelligence – Military intelligence analysts are often faced with masses of raw, multi-formatted data such as personal details, incident records and location information. i2 solutions capture this information in a secure environment. Common elements and hidden connections within the multi-faceted data can then be identified and visualized in a graphical format, giving it meaning and making it easier to understand.

Avoid data loss due to cyclic nature of military deployment – The ability to effectively store and retrieve volumes of disparate data gathered over any period of time is essential to military analysts. i2’s offers an easy-to-use, muti-user database which can be custom designed and allows analysts concurrent access to enter, update, query and analyze large volumes of data. Fully indexed, previously collected data can be searched, visualised and analyzed further.

Time-sensitive nature of actionable intelligence – The ability to quickly understand the substance and significance of store data and the need to make time-critical decisions based on that information is paramount, particularly when in operational theatre. Because i2’s solutions allow the database to be populated quickly, either using pre-defined templates or import facilities, more time can be spent analyzing the information to find links and connections, making the production of efficient tactical and strategic reports effortless.

Share and disseminate information – Reports and presentations created using i2 tools enable everyone to understand even the most complex of intelligence reports. The simplicity of i2 charts make them a valuable tool for presenting to those in command, or when briefing multi-national coalitions in operational theatre. Intelligence can also be shared between military forces, increasing interoperability and optimizing intelligence operations.

Reduce data duplication or inaccuracies – i2’s solutions add meaning to the information in order to increase the level of understanding, while search times are reduced, resulting in more time for effective analysis. Simple, fast and intelligent searching capabilities across multiple data sources ensure the most significant results ranked by relevance are returned to the analyst.

Utilize geographical data quickly and easily – Historically, geographical data has often been inputted in a variety of ways, meaning critical time is spent converting the data and manually marking the location on an electronic or wall map. i2’s solutions allow you to easily convert your geographical data into the format you need and, through a GIS interface, immediately map the data at a click of a button.
