Intelligence in NATO: A New Paradigm

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA377657 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in 1949 with a clear military task of defense and deterence in a bipolar world. With the demise of the Warsaw Pact, the environment in which NATO now operates is very different. Though NATO has made many adaptations in response to this changing environment, the intelligence system and process have not changed. Though NATOs mission has changed dramatically and technology has caused a revolution in military affairs, the provision of intelligence remains a national prerogative, as it was 50 years ago. A new paradigm is proposed for providing truly multinational intelligence to NATO. If NATO is to be an effective military organization, it must be able to collect, analyze and report intelligence apart from national requirements.
