Abstract

Eagle Eye Intelligence is a student organization that publishes a weekly intelligence publication of briefs and articles on security and intelligence topics based on current events. Starting this semester, Eagle Eye began a new process to help sharpen the analytical skills of its members. Eagle Eye employs a four-week process beginning with requirements, and following the intelligence cycle through collection, analysis, and dissemination. Teams start with an issue or topic they are interested in, and then focus their topic over the 4 weeks into an analytical article that answers a key intelligence question. That piece is then sent out with Eagle Eye’s regular publication, and the cycle is staggered so one article is ready to publish per week. Eagle Eye’s editor and chief and President oversee each stage of the process. To help increase the quality of analysis for the publication, Eagle Eye practices a variety of structured analytic techniques such as: star bursting, red team, and SWOT analysis. Eagle Eye also develops student’s technical skills through briefs on cyber intelligence and visuals used in articles using ArcGIS and Tableau. Some recent article publications include: A forecast for the upcoming Brexit deadline, an analysis of critical infrastructure in India and Pakistan, and an analysis of the current state of OPEC.
