IC Flashcards
COMINT
Communications Intelligence
derived from collecting and
processing intercepted foreign communications passed via radio, wire, or other
electromagnetic (EM) means
ELINT
Electronic Intelligence
derived from non-communications electromagnetic radiation
emanating from other than atomic detonations or radioactive sources. Primarily, ELINT
is the study of radar.
FISINT
Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence
technical analysis of data intercepted from foreign equipment and control
systems such as telemetry, tracking/fusing/ arming/firing command systems, and video
data links.

GEOINT
Geospatial Intelligence
exploitation and analysis of imagery intelligence (IMINT) and geospatial
information to describe, assess and visually depict physical features and geographically
referenced activities on Earth. Geospatial information is any information that describes part of
the Earth’s surface such as natural or constructed features and oceans. Examples: map
coordinates, topography, road maps, and addresses.

MASINT
MEASUREMENT AND SIGNATURE INTELLIGENCE
technically derived intelligence data other than imagery and SIGINT. The data
results in intelligence that locates, identified, or describes distinctive characteristics of targets.
MASINT employs a broad group of disciplines including nuclear, optical, infrared, acoustics,
seismic, and materials sciences.
OSINT
Open Source Intelligence
publicly available information appearing in print or electronic form, including
information from radio, television, newspaper, journals, the Internet, commercial databases,
and videos, graphics, and drawings used to enhance intelligence analysis and reporting. T
CI
Counterintelligence
CI gathers information and conducts activities to identify, deceive, exploit, disrupt, or protect
against other intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of
foreign powers, organizations, or persons or their agents, or international terrorist organizations
or activities
TECHINT
Technical Intelligence
assessment of the capabilities and vulnerabilities of captures/obtained military
materiel (i.e. weapons/armaments) and provide detailed assessments of foreign technological
threat capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities. TECHINT data are used by weapons
developers, countermeasure designers, tacticians, and operational forces to prevent technological
surprise, neutralize an adversary’s technological advantages, enhance force protection, and
support the development and employment of effective countermeasures to newly identified
adversary equipment
NSC
National Security Council
part of the Executive Branch of the US Government
and bears the role of one of many oversight bodies to the IC. The NSC, born under President
Truman,
