I know its such a broad question, but my professor posed this question for an assignment and I'm looking for ideas?

If it's for an assignment, maybe the Enigma Machine and the process of cracking codes? A lot of the process is still in use today, I think the last Enigma code from WWII was cracked a couple years ago.

I would go with cyber SSG (Join to see). The cyber domain is an evolving arena that requires an ever changing and adaptable intelligence package to counter and/or defeat. Cyber covers a very broad area, but in my opinion, how we counter this threat now and in the future will be the means that history will judge the military intelligence profession.

I would say satellites. That has allowed nations to collect information on things we could not have done before without placing our pilots at great risk. Perhaps next to that, I would add UAVs since those are even down to company level now.

COL Jon Thompson, agreed, sir; both positively and negatively. Satellites are the unblinking eye, but they also have been the motivation to degrade our HUMINT capability.

It is the American way to rely on technology good and bad.

COL Jon Thompson, agreed sir; however, it becomes a negative if it is the easy way out of difficult decisions, IMHO.

Capt Seid Waddell - Or when we lost technology due to an enemy attack, effectively blinding us.
