Summary/Abstract: The intelligence cycle is a discrete transformation of data and information into intelligence produces. The intelligence cycle phases will overlap and coincide, so that they will be concurrently and continuously rather than sequentially. The intelligence cycle will decisively direct the commanders military decision making process and operation execution. The intelligence produces have to be predictive, and support the commander in common operational picture understanding of his designated operation area. The intelligence produces will be an important piece of relevant information. A permanent intelligence estimate will be performed during the “plan, prepare, execute” operations cycle. Information superiority will be powerful influenced by the intelligence cycle produces. The information superiority will decisively determine the success of the joint operations.
