Parent topics
- Measurement and signature intelligence [r]: A variety of intelligence gathering disciplines complementary to the technical "mainstream" of imagery intelligence and signals intelligence. [e]
- Geophysics [r]: The study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods, namely seismic, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, thermal and radioactivity methods. [e]
Subtopics
- Acoustic energy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Microphone [r]: Acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal, the most basic design uses a thin membrane which vibrates in response to sound pressure. [e]
- Sonar [r]: A contraction of sound navigation and ranging, formally includes the active mode in which a pulse goes out and a receiver measures the echo. Also includes hydrophones or passive, listen-only systems. [e]
- Gravity [r]: The tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. [e]
- Hydrography [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Magnetic field [r]: Vector field H caused by permanent magnets, conduction currents, and displacement currents. [e]
- Magnetometer [r]: A scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument. [e]
- Superconducting Quantum Interference Device [r]: A highly sensitive device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields [e]
- Maritime patrol aircraft [r]: Very long range, usually land-based, aircraft optimized for sea surveillance, originally principally for anti-submarine warfare but often with anti-surface warfare capabilities; newer types also have land and littoral surveillance roles [e]
- Meteorology [r]: The interdisciplinary scientific study of the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, including weather studies and forecasting [e]
- Oceanography [r]: The scientific study of the oceans. [e]
- Anti-submarine warfare [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Counter-rocket, artillery and mortar [r]: Military equipment and techniques to detect unguided rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds in flight, warn friendly forces that are threatened, and, with new methods, intercept and destroy the projectiles before they can do damage [e]
- Counterbattery [r]: Defense against enemy artillery involving identifying the point of origin of hostile fire and directing lethal force against it [e]
- National technical means of verification [r]: Euphemism principally for imagery intelligence satellites and other means of strategic arms control verification, principally because the Soviet Union did not want its public to know that they could not prevent Western observation of the state [e]
- Vietnam War military technology [r]: Military technology in support of ground operations, including helicopters and air assault, either associated with or introduced in Vietnam, between 1962 and 1975 [e]
- Electro-optical MASINT [r]: A subdiscipline of measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), which has similarities to but complements imagery intelligence (IMINT); it does not form images, but validates them and produces information on phenomena that emit, absorb, or reflect electromagnetic energy in the infrared, visible light, or ultraviolet spectra, where the value is knowledge of the type of energy detected [e]
- Future Combat Systems [r]: An cancelled development program,including a variety of military systems, including armored fighting vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, artillery, precision guided munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles; was an evolutionary step in the restructuring of the United States Army and tailored to the brigade combat team organizational structure but will continue partially in the Brigade Combat Team Modernization [e]
- Materials MASINT [r]: A discipline involving the measurement of signatures from the collection, processing, and analysis of gas, liquid, or solid samples; it complements technical intelligence: a technical intelligence analyst would work with a captured example of the weapon, or at least pieces of it, to come to that understanding of the propellant, while an analyst of this technique would infer the propellant through analysis of the exhaust [e]
- Nuclear MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radar MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radiofrequency MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Spectroscopic MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
