Intelligence Mission Data (IMD) provides essential data for building system models, developing algorithms, optimizing sensor design, system testing and evaluation, and validating sensor functionality in weapons systems dependent on intelligence data. Programs should ensure IMD is considered, identified, and applied throughout the life cycle of IMD-dependent programs. For more information on Intelligence as a design consideration, see DAG Chapter 4 section 4.3.18.12 [https://acc.dau.mil/dag4.3.18.12]. This sub-topic area contains information on Intelligence Mission Data (and the Life-cycle Mission Data Plan). Also see DAG Chapter 8 [https://acc.dau.mil/dag8] for more information on Intelligence Analysis Support to Acquisition.
