T1238 | Assign KITs, KIQs, and/or intelligence requirements | Once generated, Key Intelligence Topics (KITs), Key Intelligence Questions (KIQs), and/or intelligence requirements are assigned to applicable agencies and/or personnel. For example, an adversary may decide nuclear energy requirements should be assigned to a specific organization based on their mission. | |
T1239 | Receive KITs/KIQs and determine requirements | Applicable agencies and/or personnel receive intelligence requirements and evaluate them to determine sub-requirements related to topics, questions, or requirements. For example, an adversary's nuclear energy requirements may be further divided into nuclear facilities versus nuclear warhead capabilities. | |
T1237 | Submit KITs, KIQs, and intelligence requirements | Once they have been created, intelligence requirements, Key Intelligence Topics (KITs), and Key Intelligence Questions (KIQs) are submitted into a central management system. | |
T1240 | Task requirements | Once divided into the most granular parts, analysts work with collection managers to task the collection management system with requirements and sub-requirements. |
