Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) is a type of intelligence gathering that focuses on detecting and analyzing physical phenomena. It involves the collection of data from various sources, such as radar, acoustic, and electromagnetic signals, to identify and characterize objects or activities. MASINT is often used in military and national security contexts to provide insights that traditional intelligence methods may not capture. MASINT complements other intelligence disciplines, such as Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). By integrating data from multiple sources, MASINT helps analysts understand complex situations and make informed decisions. Its unique capabilities are essential for monitoring threats and ensuring national security.
