Summary/Abstract: Intelligence support is a communication process and the communication models, communication functions and other psychological concepts are relevant for understanding the role of both intelligence operators and decision-makers, as well as specific functions of intelligence support. Differences in these functions are supported by the amount of actionable intelligence and by the level of Clausewitzian friction involved in the security/operational situation. Consequently, three functions of intelligence support are suggested: construction of intelligence superiority, warning, and integration into action.
