ID Name Description
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.
