Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 TECHINT collection teams perform their mission as a tactical extension of the CMEC. They concentrate on the initial identification and exploitation of CEM and provide TECHINT assistance to Corps and Division G2s. Detailed analysis by these teams is limited due to personnel limitations and lack of extensive diagnostic equipment. The TECHINT collection team normally will have 14 TECHINT analysts and 2 MASINT analysts. TECHINT collection teams are usually staffed with analysts capable of exploiting threat equipment and documents in eight functional areas:
C-E, automation systems, weapons, munitions, NBC, medical, mobility, and signatures analysis. The areas are described below: C-E TECHINT is the analysis and exploitation of foreign and threat communications, computers, radars, intercept and jamming equipment, and like systems, including electro-optic and directed-energy technology. Automation systems TECHINT is the analysis and exploitation of foreign automation hardware and software. Weapons TECHINT involves the analysis of threat weapons and weapon systems, including rocket, tube artillery, mortars, small arms, ATGMs, other missiles, and associated fire control.
Munitions TECHINT involves the analysis of threat munitions including missiles, NBC munitions, direct and indirect fire weapons ammunition, explosives, and mines. NBC TECHINT is based on the analysis of threat offensive and defensive NBC material including NBC samples, flame materials, and obscurants. This analysis determines threat strengths and vulnerabilities in relation to NBC operations. Medical TECHINT focuses on the identification, evaluation, and exploitation of medical materiel, general purpose systems modified for medical support, and biological agents sampling. Mobility TECHINT exploits threat vehicles, engineer equipment, materiel handling equipment, and power generation.
Mobility TECHINT determines the capabilities and vulnerabilities of the enemy to maneuver and support its combat forces on the battlefield. Signatures analysis involves collecting and analyzing the acoustic, infrared, and hyperspectral and seismic signatures of foreign equipment. 3-10
