The Counterintelligence (CI) and Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Modernization Project supports ongoing rejuvenation and development of new critical CI and HUMINT systems, applications, tools, equipment, and capabilities necessary to defeat foreign intelligence, international terrorist, and insider threats while enhancing our HUMINT collection capability, management processes, and responsiveness. The CI and HUMINT Software (CHS) supports both CI and HUMINT planning, reporting, and management. The suite of applications can reside on smart devices, laptops, or the cloud. CHS is the planned successor to the Army Counterintelligence Operations Portal and the CI and HUMINT Automated Reporting Computer System. CHS will also contain a communications interface that will ensure reliable communication in various situations, especially in challenging environments by automating a tiered approach in switching between available networks and tactical radios at echelon. The Castle Keep Portal is the Army's enterprise capability to automate workflow services, SCI program reporting, metrics, analysis, and information sharing to protect classified information within and across the defense elements of the Intelligence Community. The Multi-Source Data Fusion Platform curates and integrates Army Counterintelligence (CI) and Human Intelligence (HUMINT) data with Army Identity Intelligence architecture, establishes application programming interfaces, leverages and trains Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) tools and models, and develops new workflows and user interfaces with the Military Threat Actor knowledge base and Defense Watchlisting activities that supports sharing of information across the Army CI, HUMINT, and I2 capabilities for timely decisions on persons of interest. The FY 2027 request will support development and testing of software code integrating existing and new algorithms to analyze multiple data sources. The FY 2027 request enables GEOINT modernization through work to integrate cloud-based raw pixel Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) models to enable automated imagery inferencing, which will reduce the time required to produce and disseminate findings that support over the horizon targeting, battlespace awareness, and preparation of the battlefield.
