Intelligence support to the acquisition or requirements community is preferred. Analysts must have knowledge of, and demonstrated experience with, the acquisition and requirements processes. The Intelligence Division compiles threat information and reviews Intelligence Community-produced Threat Modules to provide validated intelligence documents used for horizontal integration into all phases of the acquisition cycle across all MDS programs. This information supports the MDS Validated Online Lifecycle Threat (VOLT) Report and provides MDA leadership with vital information.
