Director of National Intelligence — Federal Agency

The **Director of National Intelligence (DNI)** oversees the 18-member **Intelligence Community (IC)**, including the CIA, NSA, NGA, DIA, and the intelligence components of every military branch. The DNI sets intelligence priorities, coordinates collection and analysis across agencies, and manages the National Intelligence Program budget (approximately $70B). The DNI evaluates technology through the lens of intelligence advantage — what gives the US better information than its adversaries.
