National Intelligence System (NIS)

A comprehensive Django-based intelligence management platform designed for national security agencies to handle intelligence operations, personnel management, threat assessment, and secure communications.

🏛️ System Overview

The National Intelligence System provides a centralized platform for:

• Personnel Management: Role-based access with security clearance levels
• Intelligence Operations: Mission planning, execution, and monitoring
• Source Management: HUMINT, SIGINT, GEOINT, and other intelligence sources
• Threat Assessment: Risk analysis and threat level calculations
• Secure Communications: Encrypted messaging with classification levels
• Audit & Compliance: Complete activity logging and security monitoring

high_priority_targets = Target.objects.filter(
    threat_level='HIGH',
    is_active=True
).values('location').annotate(
    count=Count('id')
).order_by('-count')

# Recent intelligence reports by classification
