Interpretation
The collection stage of the intelligence process typically yields large amounts of unfiltered data, which requires organization. Substantial U.S. intelligence resources are devoted to the synthesis of this data into a form intelligence analysts can use. Information filtering techniques include exploiting imagery; decoding messages and translating broadcasts; reducing telemetry to meaningful measures; preparing information for computer processing; storage and retrieval; and placing human-source reports into a form and context to make them more comprehensible.
