Collection Management
MOSAIC’s Collection Management (CM) process is a series of inter-related SIGINT activities. The CM process is initiated when a customer submits an Information Need (IN) request for SIGINT. In some cases, IN responses are created from already available SIGINT. In other cases, INs prompt the need for new SIGINT, triggering the creation of new SIGINT collection requirements.
Regardless of the scenario, MOSAIC CMs work closely with the customer to fully understand the underlying factor that initiates the CM process and ensure that all involved parties are kept informed through the specific task. MOSAIC CMs also ensure that the validated SIGINT collection requirements are converted to collection tasks and that the collected data is monitored for timely and appropriate delivery.
