Abstract
According to the author comprehensiveness is the main characteristic of the modem intelligence systems. He analyzes the four most prevalent problems, which the most powerful intelligence systems of the world (Russia, Great Britain, the USA) are currently and to the maximum extent engaged with. Those problems are: terrorism, arms proliferation, drugs and economic espionage. The author concludes that, apart from the future requisite reforms, the role of the intelligence community will still be contained in obligation to issue warnings and to submit some solid analysis in time in order to enable political leaders to offer answers before a crisis gets out of control.
