Military.com Special: The Tech of Intel

 

Intelligence work is one of the prime components of any military mission, whether it involves intercepting and decoding signals, gaining image maps of enemy positions, or combatting terrorist activities. Get an inside look at the systems, platforms and methods used in today's intelligence wars.




Electronic intelligence is derived from non-communications electromagnetic radiations from foreign sources.


As the name implies, IMINT is gathered from images, ranging from photos taken by hand to the most sophisticated imaging devices.


SIGINT covers all areas of signal interception, cryptology and code-breaking, from the Enigma to the latest high-tech NSA methods.
