Information Quality – A Key to Joint Intelligence ...

1 Information Quality A Key to Joint Intelligence , Surveillance and SparrInformation Quality A Key to Joint Intelligence , Surveillance and Reconnaisance Joint Intelligence , Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JISR) is a concept in NATO and the partner nations The MAJIIC 2 program is working to realize the JISR concept for nine coalition partners and NATO Information Quality management has been demonstrated to be a key componentStrategic guidance from Nations and NATO Emphasis on data, Information and Intelligence operations become increasingly dependent on these Emphasis on adaptability and flexibility we must be prepared for faster adaptation of military business.

IQM in MAJIIC 2 Information is basis for decisions Many Intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. What one can reasonably ask of an officer is that he should possess a standard of judgement, which he can gain only from knowledge of men and affairs and from common sense.
