The JIGSAW interface is a unique fusion of interactive visualization and intelligence analysis techniques - a visual analytics solution to the problem of dealing with extremely complex data.

JIGSAW helps analysts gather, share, and analyze critical intelligence. Based on input from subject matter experts (SMEs) from intelligence communities around the country, this innovative interface encourages cooperative communication.

The main modules include:

• The RFI Manager - supporting receiving, logging, assigning, tracking, and filtering IRs/RFIs
• The Hypothesis Manager - supporting request decomposition, Analysis Plan generation, and I-Scape specification
• I-Scape - supporting hypothesis-related intelligence integration, input coordination, and intelligence evaluation
