Hawk's Intelligence Source Library is an authoritative collection of public domain sources related specifically to the Aerospace, Defence & Security sectors.
This digitised library of information is a comprehensive open source intelligence resource for Aerospace, Defence & Security professionals. The Intelligence Source Library is the culmination of 20 years of experience in gathering information specific to these industries. Specialists in the Hawk team constantly update the library to ensure the timeliness and currency of the sources used and monitors all incoming activity to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the information.
Our quality control and assurance process are essential in ensuring that all sources within the library are validated. Hawk's intelligence validation model and cognitive bias framework maintain the high standard of inputs to the library and clients know that the information can be trusted.
Hawk brings many years of industry experience in intelligence sourcing to the benefit of clients. Hawk has developed many privileged and trusted partnerships and we continue to engage with our global information network as well as leading universities, specialist librarians, think tanks, research institutes, NGOs and international organisations to ensure that our clients have access to information that is relevant, broad in scope and depth and meets their ever changing information needs.
Hawk's information and sector specialists are trained in utilising our in-house tools dedicated to the process of collecting and managing information from open sources. The library assets are drawn from a number of specialised techniques including data mining and extraction, deep and hidden web retrieval, database indexing and rich media sources.
A library is of no use without an appropriate way of finding the information that one needs. Hawk has developed an industry based standard taxonomy for the classification of the sources within the library, allowing for multi-formats and structuring of unstructured data. Sources are grouped by specific topic domains and analysis type, date and current relevance, format, validation level and access privilege. An adaptive interface allows for the standardisation of existing internal taxonomies and the development of company driven folksonomies.
A dynamic and evolving resource tool, providing timely and in-depth coverage from a comprehensive range of open sources covering unique areas of niche interest, the Hawk Intelligence Source Library can be accessed via a secure web-based platform as well as through limited edition and on-demand print-versions of the '"Hawk Intelligence Source Directory".
