The Chief, ISR & Cyber Transformation with the United States Air Force at the Pentagon, Col. Jason Kulchar, joins ClearanceJobs to highlight a new platform they launched. The Cyber Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission area is fairly new to the intelligence community, first coming about in the early 2000s. So it’s not a new intelligence discipline – for example there’s no new CYBINT – but instead we have Cyber ISR, an all-source intelligence that encompasses and fuses traditional intelligence disciplines through the cyberspace domain.
No matter the intelligence role you may be working in, mentorship is key if you’re just entering the field or looking to revamp your career. Col. Kulchar is leading the Air Force Intelligence efforts for mentorship, diversity, and industry engagement. This past year, Col. Kulchar and his team launched a beta test for a new mentorship platform that matches intelligence professionals across the Air Force with personalized mentors for career guidance. We dive into all the details on the program where they have seen significant success and have conducted in-depth research on mentorship best practices.
