Harnessing commercial technologies to tackle intelligence overload / Bernard Tan and Tan Yueh Phern - 2006

Intelligence agencies have an information overload problem: too much data and too little rapid processing capacity. Commercially developed technologies offer a way forward (in 1999 the CIA set up a venture fund company called In-Q-Tel to help support such initiatives many of which also have applications in the civilian world). Article suggests that Singapore's armed forces must become smart buyers and users of commercial products, a move which will require a fundamental change to the development cycle.
