Sounds Like a good and bad issue. It's good to have so much rich data, and then to not be able to synthesize and use the data is tough.

With our generation of data mining and aggregation, you could approach it by using a data aggregation feed, similar to feedburner, with a "smart" priority system. So think of it as a small version of a secretary. The higher up the command call or person you talk to, the default feed is seen first. You can arrange the importance in your settings.

The other way to improve massive data overload, is through visualization of data, much like www.bundle.com did with our consumer data from the government quarterly reports. Visual data streams would allow soldiers to effectively understand the threats and process more data efficiently in "chunks" rather than through reports.
