What are the pros and cons of OSINT?

There are a lot of pros and cons of OSINT. From them, one of the most important advantages is related to the cost. It can be seen that the cost of the system is quite low

On the other hand, there is one huge disadvantage, and that is related to its limitation. It is quite difficult to apply to filter from the help of any noise.

Include a short assessment of how OSINT relates to other sources of intelligence, such as human intelligence (HUMINT), signal intelligence (SIGINT), image intelligence (IMINT), and measurements and signature intelligence (MASINT)

There are many ways through which OSINT is able to relate with different sources of intelligence. It can be seen that it is relating to human intelligence when there is a requirement of any critical thinking. It is relating to the signal intelligence system by upgrading the power of the system through applying different techniques. It is relating to image intelligence by enhancing the pixel of the required image. In the last, it is relating to the signature intelligence by judging the real owner of the sign holder through the help of a pattern.

Define what the emerging IC means to you.

It is defined as the use of intelligent systems for solving different types of problems and deals with emergency systems in an effective way. Such a system are able to analyze and relate the main problem and make decisions according to the given condition.

Select 2 homeland security (HLS) and public safety disciplines, and explain how those disciplines can play a role within the emerging IC and overall information sharing.

There are two main public safety disciplines; the first one is related to law enforcement and the second one is related to fire service. These two disciplines are playing an important role in the enhancing intelligence community and also information sharing with other departments.

Discuss the emerging IC as it relates to a multidiscipline approach

     There are a lot of emerging IC technologies that are playing an important role in different disciplines. There are some emerging IC that are solving many issues that are related to health care centers. One the other hand, these ICs are also relating to the fire services.

Are there expanding intelligence needs? If so, in what areas?       

Yes, there are many researchers that are working on expanding the IC in a different way. they are working on solving different problems of the community.
