An emerging threat is "non-governmental, non-conventional, dynamic or random, non-linear, with no rules of engagement or predictable doctrine." [1]
Although a conventional threat lends "itself to conventional intelligence collection capabilities that [include] a strong reliance on stand-off technical collection capabilities and methodical analysis, ... emerging threats cannot be easily seen, assessed, and fixed by existing technical intelligence collection capabilities." [2]
