  VII. MASINT: Measurement and Signatures Intelligence
The areas where MASINT expands on the traditional disciplines (IMINT and SIGINT) can be thought of as providing aids to improve upon or add dimensions and capabilities to the sight and sound senses that would not otherwise be possible.
IMINT endeavors to provide pictorial representations of targets and areas of interest -- not the spectral analysis of material content.
However, the more traditional technical disciplines of IMINT and SIGINT should specifically address, in their charters, the recognition of the MASINT ability to glean additional data from their collections (this would be facilitated by the TCA construct).

 VI.IMINT: Imagery Intelligence
FINDING: IMINT will continue to be an important collection discipline for a wide variety of issues: indications and warning; support to the military; and monitoring arms control agreements, refugee flows, narcotics cultivation and ecological problems.
IMINT, on the other hand, produces an image which is then sent to a variety of organizations and exploited in many diverse ways within those organizations.
Our model of IMINT in the 21st century is based on centralization of vital functions (end-to-end planning/management, R&D, collection, processing, archiving, and infrastructure) while sustaining a diverse customer/exploitation base.

 IMINT (Imagery Intelligence) - █ FURTHER READING:
IMINT, or imagery intelligence, is one of the four major branches of intelligence, along with HUMINT, MASINT, and SIGINT (human, measurement and signatures, and signals intelligence respectively).
It was this wealth of imagery sources and techniques that influenced the shift in terminology from PHOTINT to IMINT during the 1970s.
Collection platforms for IMINT have ranged from surveillance balloons, employed from the time of the French Revolution onward, to satellites such as those of the KH or KEYHOLE series.

 Managing Risk Management - July 99   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
IMINT management's rationales for needing a strong risk management discipline are the same as those shared by most of their Department of Defense (DoD) and industrial mission partners.
In addition, it was thought that the other risk areas (1, 2, 5, 7, 9, and 10) fell outside the purview of the CCD team and the probability of successfully mitigating any of the associated risks was low and of minimal payback.

 Defense & Intelligence Industry - (IMINT) Imagery Intelligence
In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.
With the current "smart-weapons" in the U.S. arsenal, surgical air strikes are more capable of destroying enemy military targets and at the same time leaving civilian areas and facilities intact.

 TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMMITTEE
                It is not enough, however, that the SIGINT, IMINT, and HUMINT are delivered to a single office in the headquarters of the Homeland Security Department.  Several of its sub-departments and agencies will also need to receive relevant intelligence directly, often on a "time sensitive" basis, for their own analysis and.
The technology to distribute HUMINT is simple enough, but the security problems are different.  Still, the general approach can be adapted for all three collection disciplines.
In that case, additional and similar agencies would have to be created to prove support to the military services, the State Department, and dozens of other executive branch intelligence users.

The rationale for the lack of intelligence sharing was that the IMINT was “US-UK Eyes only.” The local Dutch commander had previously “complained” to the Dutch Ministry of Defence about the lack of intelligence sharing.
Unless the ally wants to second guess the U.S.’s IMINT with its own imagery analysts, the “original” report is really the “gem” in satellite imagery intelligence anyway, not so much the imagery itself.
Threat assessments based on IMINT must be made transparent for the sake of allied force security and of success in the peacekeeping mission.

 VII. MASINT: Measurement and Signatures Intelligence
MASINT is the least understood of the disciplines and is perceived as a "strategic" capability with limited "tactical" support capabilities.
The MASINT manager should be a General Officer or SES/SIS and a permanent member of the MIB, NFIB, and other senior DCI and DoD boards/panels.
Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) is technically derived intelligence (excluding traditional imagery and signal intelligence) which when collected, processed, and analyzed, results in intelligence that detects, tracks, identifies, or describes the signatures (distinctive characteristics) of fixed or dynamic target sources.

 Re: satelites monitoring our daily activities
You can read about the mission of these 13 agencies on the DCI web site at: https://www.cia.gov/cia/information/info.html Three key sources of intelligence are SIGINT, IMINT and HUMINT.
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is the single, national program to collect the US governments IMINT needs through spaceborne reconnaissance.
However, even with this sci-fi equipment, one would have to have the ability to quickly find one person in a million, who happens to be in an observable location and not moving very quickly and you see the magnitude of the IMINT problem.
