| PROJECT INFORMATION | The Defence Intelligence Agency (D.I.A) is an organisation responsible for providing and coordinating military intelligence for the Indian armed forces. DIA is the nodal agency for all defence related intelligence, thus distinguishing it from the other Indian intelligence internal and external agencies. DIA controls the Indian armed forces' technical intelligence assets – the Directorate of Signals Intelligence, a tri-service agency, and the Defence Image Processing and Analysis Centre (DIPAC). While the Signals Directorate is responsible for acquiring and decrypting enemy communications, the DIPAC controls India's satellite-based image acquisition capabilities. The DIA also coordinates the Defence Information Warfare Agency (DIWA) which handles all elements of the information warfare repertoire, including psychological operations, cyber-war, electronic intercepts and the monitoring of sound waves. Its operations are highly classified and has several successes to its credit which will remain a secret. Together with Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), National Technical Research Organization (NTRO), Intelligence Bureau (IB),& Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), and NIA (National Investigation Agency), the DIA forms a part of India's nodal intelligence setup. |
