SIGINT

Signals intelligence. Collection of foreign signals, processed into intelligence. Umbrella for COMINT (communications), ELINT (non-communication emitters), and FISINT (foreign instrumentation telemetry).

SIGINT covers voice / video / data carried over RF, satellite, wireline, and optical media; radar and telemetry emitters; control-channel signals and beacons.

The pages under this section follow the operator’s standard working set:

• SIGINT Tools for the operator’s daily kit.

• SIGINT Sources for the data sources collection draws from.

• SIGINT Techniques for the tradecraft applied to those sources.

• SIGINT Intel for the finished-product side, production cycle, and consumers.

• SIGINT APIs for the programmatic data sources the operator pulls from.
