Warfare Intelligence Officer

Being in Intelligence means that you work with all disciplines within the Royal Navy and other services to deliver Intelligence to Commanders on operations. As an Intelligence Officer you will find yourself leading a team of highly motivated, bright and flexible men and women. Your training will enable you to develop fused Intelligence products using the latest reporting from a variety of sources, including open source, imagery, signals, human and cyber intelligence. These products will be utilised to provide advice on emerging situations and deliver bespoke briefings to senior officers. Your Intelligence input will aid in mission success.

Intelligence is critical in supporting warfighting and getting the right information to the right people at the right time so that crucial decisions, that affect lives, can be made. Everything could depend on your speed, skill, accuracy and powers of concentration to keep one step ahead of the enemy.
