Office of Analysis and Operations

What this funds

A&O provides resources supporting I&A and OSA. This funding includes both NIP and non-NIP resources. While these two offices are distinct in their missions, they work closely together and collaborate with other DHS Components and Federal agencies, as well as State, local, tribal, foreign, and private-sector partners, to improve intelligence analysis, information sharing, incident management support, and situational awareness. I&A's mission is to equip the Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) with the timely intelligence and information it needs to keep the homeland safe, secure, and resilient. I&A is the interface between the Intelligence Community (IC) and Federal, State, local, and private sector homeland security partners, providing strategic analyses, warning, and actionable intelligence, ensuring Departmental leadership, Components, law enforcement, and IC partners have the tools they need to confront and disrupt terrorist threats. The mission of OSA is to facilitate information sharing, situational awareness, and a common operating picture, enabling execution of the Secretary's responsibilities across the HSE. OSA supports the DHS mission by partnering with other HSE partners and by maintaining 24/7 operation of the NOC, enabling sharing of information both from and to law enforcement, National intelligence, emergency response, and the private sector.
