This volume examines the role of technology in gathering,
assimilating and utilizing intelligence information through the
ages. Pushing the boundaries of existing works, the articles
contained here take a broad view of the use and implementation of
technology and intelligence procedures during the cold war era
and the space race, the September 2011 attacks, and more recent
cyber operations. It looks at the development of different
technologies, procedural implications thereof, and the underlying
legal and ethical implications. The findings are then used to
explore the future trends in technology including cyber
operations, big data, open source intelligence, smart cities, and
augmented reality. Starting from the core aspects of technical
capabilities the articles dig deeper, exploring the hard and soft
infrastructure of intelligence gathering procedures and focusing
on the human and bureaucratic procedures involved therein.

Technology and innovation have played an important role in
determining the course of development of the intelligence
community. Intelligence gathering for national security, however,
is not limited only to the thread of technical capabilities but
is a complex fabric of organizational structures, systemic
undercurrents, and the role of personnel in key positions of
decision making.

The book’s findings and conclusions encompass not just temporal
variation but also cut across a diverse set of issue areas. This
compilation is uniquely placed in the interdisciplinary space
combining the lessons from key cases in the past to current
developments and implementation of technology options.
