Communications System (JWICS).
The First Spymaster
"The necessity of procuring good intelligence is apparent & need not be further
urged – All that remains for me to add is, that you keep the whole matter as secret as
possible."
“By ‘intelligence’ we mean every sort of information about the enemy and his country – the
basis, in short, of our own plans and operations.

Geospatial Intelligence
Three Components of GEOINT
Imagery – likeness or presentation of any natural or man-made feature or related
object or activity and the associated positional data acquired at the same time
Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) – the technical, geographic, and intelligence
information derived through the interpretation or analysis of imagery and collateral
materials
Geospatial information – the geographical location and characteristics of natural
or constructed features and boundaries on Earth
Human Intelligence (HUMINT)
A category of intelligence derived from information
collected and provided by human sources
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)
MASINT
Measurement and Signature Intelligence is scientific and
technical intelligence obtained by quantitative and
qualitative analysis of data (metric, angle, spatial,
wavelength, time dependence, modulation, plasma and
hydro-magnetic) derived from specific technical sensors
for the purpose of identifying any distinctive features
associated with target, source, emitter, or sender.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Publicly available information
upon request or observation
Technical Intelligence (TECHINT)
•Exploitation of foreign material and scientific information
•Begins with acquiring a foreign piece of equipment or
scientific/technical information
•Item is then exploited by specialized collection and analysis
teams
•Assess the capabilities and vulnerabilities
•Provide a detailed assessment

Joint Tactical Terminal-Maritime
(JTT-M)
• Joint Tactical Terminal/Common Integrated Broadcast Service
Modules (JTT/CIBS-M) is a software based UHF radio
– Receives and transmits IBS data
– Distributes IBS data to Tactical Data Processors (i.e. GCCS-M)
– Provides near-real-time all source, joint tactical intelligence, targeting,
and situational awareness information
– Provides unique access to national SIGINT sources
– Networked with worldwide resources
