Measurement and signature intelligence: Applications, Measurement & Science

Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) is an intelligence discipline that uses scientific and technical analysis of data from sensing instruments to detect, measure, identify, or characterize the distinctive features ("signatures") of targets. Some MASINT techniques use purpose-built sensors, while others analyze imagery or signals collected via…
