Open Source Enterprise
The Aspin-Brown Commission stated in 1996 that US access to open sources was "severely deficient" and that this should be a "top priority" for both funding and DCI attention.The Center was established to collect information available from "the Internet, databases, press, radio, television, video, geospatial data, photos and commercial imagery.[citation needed] On October 1, 2015, the OSC changed its name to Open Source Enterprise and was absorbed into the CIA's Directorate of Digital Innovation.[6][7] The construction of the facility sparked some controversy in Reston, a planned community, due to the presence of a chained linked and barbed wire fence surrounding the buildings.[8] From 1943 until 2017, OSE operated a facility at Caversham Park alongside the UK's equivalent open-source intelligence service, BBC Monitoring.
