IFPC Topic 2 What are the Intelligence Disciplines What is GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence)? - correct answer Exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. •Imagery •IMINT •Geospatial information What is IMINT (Imagery Intelligence)? - correct answer •Technical geographic and intelligence information, derived through the interpretation or analysis of imagery and collateral materials. •Wide variety of platforms and sensors, including EO, radar, IR, multi- and hyperspectral, and laser sensors •A product that is the result of processing and exploiting ray imagery (information) and creating an analyzed product (intelligence) What is GEOINT - Imagery? - correct answer • A likeness or presentation of any natural or man-made feature, or related object or activity, combined with the positional data acquired at the same time. •Includes products produced by: -Satellites -Airborne platforms -Unmanned aerial vehicles *Handheld Photography can be considered imagery What is HUMINT (Human Intelligence)? - correct answer Intelligence derived from information collected and provided by human sources •"Walk-in" •Developed sources •Unwitting persons •Debriefing -Friendly forces personnel -Refugees/displaced persons -Returnees Volunteers What is SIGINT (Signals Intelligence)? - correct answer • Intelligence Produced by exploiting foreign communications systems and non-communications emitters •Often used for cueing other sensors to potential targets of interest. Example: Intelligence identifies activity of interest may be used to cue GEOINT to confirm that activity What is MASINT (Measurement and Signatures Intelligence)? - correct answer Information produced by quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical attributes of targets and events to characterize, locate, and identify them. •Derived from specialized, technical measurements of physical phenomena intrinsic to an object or event; it includes the use of quantitative signatures to interpret the data •EO - electro-optical data, emitted or reflected energy across the visible/IR portion of the electromagnetic spectrum: ultraviolet (UV), visible, infrared (IR) and near-IR •Radar - microwave energy reflected (re-radiated) from a target or objective Radio - radio-frequency/electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) emissions associated with nuclear testing or other high-energy events, for the purpose of determining power levels, operating characteristics, and signatures of advanced technology weapons, power, and propulsion systems What is OSINT(Open Source Intelligence)? - correct answer •Intelligence based on open source information that any member of the public can lawfully obtain by request, purchase, or observation •Compliments the other intelligence disciplines, can be used to fill intelligence gaps, and corroborate classified information databases •Susceptible to manipulation and deception, and thus requires tradecraft and review during processing What is TECHINT (Technical Intelligence)? - correct answer Intelligence derived from the exploitation of foreign material and scientific information Teams assess the capabilities and vulnerabilities of captured military materiel and provide detailed
