Talk:Technical intelligence

Direction of this article?

I came to this article after working on Farewell Dossier Since the Farewell Dossier dealt, depending on your point of view, with TI or S&TI, I thought it wise to update Technical Intelligence, so there was cross-reference to KGB Directorate T and Line X. Before I really knew it, I was wandering from S&TI to economic intelligence, a line easy to cross.

As I look at this article, it really addresses three related areas of intelligence:

• Tactical technical
• National-level scientific and technical
• National-level economic

Can this be made to work, in its present form, as one article, or does it needs to split into two or three articles> If two, national level S&TI would go with economic intelligence, although things like trade negotiations and macroeconomics are things that are economic but not S&TI. There doesn't seem to be any great way to split up the topics, as all of these "output" areas -- TI, S&TI, economic intelligence -- all have collection, analysis, and, especially when deciding what to share with industry, dissemination issues.

I have avoided even thinking about FININT, which certainly affects economic intel.

Any thoughts are welcome.Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 03:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup

I am trying to cleanup the text and format. Eventually, this might be two articles, one on Technical Intelligence and one on Scientific and Technical Intelligence. The terms are used interchangeably, so I await better referencing and cleanup to make a call on this. I have put a redirect on Scientific and technical intelligence for now. 18:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC) User:G._Moore Talk

After further review, I changed the rating to Start. It needs some images, better references, and less verbose content so that it is more factual. The text takes a tangent on economic intelligence that is not directly related to the primary subject. 14:39, 2 September 2019 (UTC) User:G._Moore talk
