Abstract
Social network analysis is an established field with a wealth of theory, method, and tools for handling network or relational data. Recent advances have expanded this repertoire to include larger scale more dynamic networks under conditions of uncertainty. This moves the field closer to the needs of the defense department and intelligence agencies. However, the needs are not completely met. This paper briefly outlines where the field is, what it has to offer, and where the needs are not being met.
