Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 RADAR INTELLIGENCE (RADINT): RADINT is the collection, processing, analysis, and exploitation of radar energy reflected (re-radiated) from a target or objective. Instruments for active target illuminations may include monostatic or bistatic, line-of-sight (LOS) phased array, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and over-the-horizon systems. RADINT collection provides information on radar cross-sections, tracking, precise spatial measurements of components, motion, and radar reflectance and absorption characteristics for dynamic targets and objectives. RADIO FREQUENCY INTELLIGENCE:
This includes radio frequency/electromagnetic pulse intelligence (RF/EMPINT) and unintentional radiation intelligence (RINT). RF/EMPINT is the collection, processing, analysis, and exploitation of radio frequency electromagnetic pulse emissions associated with nuclear testing or other high energy events for the purpose of determining power levels, operating characteristics, and signatures of advanced technologic weapons, power, or propulsion systems.
RINT is the integration and specialized application of multiple MASINT collection, processing, analysis, and exploitation techniques against unintentional radiation sources that are incidental to the design and operating characteristics of military and civil propulsion units, power sources, weapons systems, electronic systems, machinery, equipment, or instruments. These techniques may be valuable in detecting, tracking, and monitoring a variety of activities of interest. GEOPHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE:
This is the collection, processing, exploitation, and analysis of emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, or vibration in the atmosphere (acoustic), in the water (acoustical intelligence), or in the earth’s surface (seismic). Acoustic and seismic sensors may be valuable in target detection and classification, measuring aircraft and ship performance characteristics, detecting weapons testing and large military movements. MATERIALS INTELLIGENCE: This is the physical collection, processing, analysis, and exploitation of atmospheric trace elements; gaseous, liquid, or solid particulate; effluents; or debris.
Materials intelligence has specific applications to NBC warfare, military and civil production, and economic and environmental problems. NUCLEAR INTELLIGENCE (NUCINT): A-4
