He his responsibilities are as broad as they are wide. Schneider oversees the underlying technology infrastructure to make collection, analysis and dissemination of data easier for the entire intelligence community. At the same time, Schneider also ensures access to and engineers the top secret Intranet for DoD and the intelligence community. So when Schneider talks about his priorities, he focuses on three main areas: support to the warfighter, especially with the current surge in Afghanistan; continue to develop tools to promote information sharing, including J-Space, an online collaboration sharing space for human resources, financial management and other back office functions; and the third area is internally focused to figure out how to provide the best support to DIA customers. And of course, he says the impending SITE request for proposal is near the top of all priority lists. Schneider promises the RFP will be out by the end of May. http://www.federalnewsradio.com The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) will release a solicitation for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracting vehicle that supports information technology (IT) requirements across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the greater Intelligence Community in late May 2009 http://www.dia.mil/publicaffairs/Press/index.html CNN's Brian Todd reports on new high-tech devices designed to aid intelligence officials in interrogations http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2009/05/08/todd.high.tech.interrogation.cnn?iref=videosearch The research arm of the Defense Intelligence Agency has been working since 2000 on a camera that measures minute changes in facial skin temperature.
