Polar Integration Initiative

The polar integration initiative strives to identify strategic partners and connect the Global Maritime Community of Interest—the U.S. Intelligence Community and non-Intelligence Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; academia; maritime commercial, defense, and science and technology industries; nonprofit and research institutes; and foreign partners—to harmonize Arctic collection efforts in order to improve maritime data, intelligence and information sharing, analysis, and policy development.

The mission of the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office (NMIO) is to advance maritime intelligence integration, information sharing, and domain awareness to foster unity of effort to protect the United States and its global interests, its allies, and its partners against threats to, in, or emanating from the global maritime domain.
