	MASINT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MASINT, short for Measurement and Signature Intelligence, refers to intelligence gathering activities that bring together disparate elements that do not fit within the definitions of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), or Human Intelligence (HUMINT).
		MASINT includes: Radar Intelligence (RADINT), Acoustic Intelligence (ACOUSTINT), Nuclear Intelligence (NUCINT), Radio Frequency/Electromagnetic Pulse Intelligence (RF/EMPINT), Electro-optical Intelligence (ELECTRO-OPTINT), Laser Intelligence (LASINT), Materials Intelligence, Unintentional Radiation Intelligence (RINT), Chemical and Biological Intelligence (CBINT), Directed Energy Weapons Intelligence (DEWINT), Effluent/Debris Collection, Spectroscopic Intelligence, and Infrared Intelligence (IRINT).
		MASINT can be broken down into six categories, based on what is being analyzed.

	VII. MASINT: Measurement and Signatures Intelligence
		MASINT sensors include, but are not limited to, radar, optical, infrared, acoustic, nuclear, radiation detection, spetroradiometric, and seismic systems as well as gas, liquid, and solid material sampling systems.
		MASINT can be considered analogous to the individual who relies on all senses to gain information about his or her environment.
		Because of the highly technical means utilized, most MASINT systems' focus has been on the longer-term (i.e., not "real-time") analysis of data to determine characteristics, signatures, target templates, etc. With the advent of modern processing techniques and capabilities, MASINT systems have an increased potential for doing their analysis in near real- or real-time.

		MASINT data can be acquired from a variety of satellite, airborne, or shipborne platforms; remotely piloted vehicles; or from mobile or fixed ground-based collection sites.
		Establish a Central MASINT Office (CMO) within the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which shall be responsible for providing support to the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and other Federal Government Departments and Agencies on MASINT matters relating to national security.
		Establish the architectures for MASINT tasking, collection, processing, and dissemination in the Department of Defense, in coordination with the DoD Components and consistent to the maximum practicable extent with the overall functional architectures of the Department of Defense.

	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.
		MASINT planning and system development must focus on not only technical analysis that is necessary for long term signature development, but must also plan, at the outset of any capability development/use, the need to satisfy immediate "tactical" information requirements.
		MASINT planning must focus on not only the technical analysis that is necessary for long term signature development, but must also plan, at the outset of any capability development/use, the need to satisfy immediate information requirements for the tactical consumer.

		MASINT gained some publicity in connection with the prosecution of former FBI counterintelligence specialist Robert Hanssen, who was sentenced last year to life in prison without parole for selling secrets to Russia.
		MASINT can track weapons by their sounds, heat, radiation, chemical traces or other physical evidence.
		MASINT sensors generally are located on ships, planes and satellites.

		MASINT devices are also used as "monitors" at border crossings to detect the movement of nuclear and chemical weapons through radioactivity or chemical precursors, said a former senior intelligence official who asked not to be identified.
		MASINT technology arose in large part as a response to shortcomings in intelligence collection during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, according to the magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology.
		The loss of MASINT to the Russians is going to cripple American technical intelligence gathering for three years, severly impact it for up to six years and make it more difficult to gather for an additional three to six years -- depending on the sensors involved and their electronics content.

		Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) in recent years has evolved from a serious laboratory science to a mature means of detecting, identifying and characterizing different threats, according to Barbara Sanderson, director of the Central MASINT Organization (CMO), Arlington, Virginia.
		MASINT capabilities are being applied to homeland security.
		MASINT successes in Afghanistan have shown the way ahead for the organization, Sanderson observes.

		The Central MASINT Office (CMO) will be developing a flexible architecture over the next couple of years that will maximize interoperability through standard hardware and software interfaces that will streamline the integration of new MASINT systems as they come on line.
		It is also CMO's intent to create standards for MASINT systems that allow for growth and technical innovation to reduce acquisition and training times, increase capability, and lower long-term costs.

	Senate Intelligence panel plans to scrutinize MASINT next year
		Although the report was due April 1, 2001, Graham said Wilson has assured him that the study will be done in time for the Intelligence Committee to consider it as part of its work on the FY '03 intelligence authorization bill.
		MASINT, which comes from observing the scientific features of moving targets, is a relatively new form of intelligence and has received less public attention from policymakers than other forms of intelligence.
		Pike argued that the U.S. should consolidate its MASINT activities in a single agency, just as it transferred the imagery intelligence functions of several agencies to a new National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) in 1996.

		These MASINT analysts, serving with such organizations as the Air Force’s National Air and Space Intelligence Center and the Army’s 513th Military Intelligence Brigade, have received high praise not only from their supervisors but from those most dependent on it, the combined combat forces in Iraq, Tuttle said.
		Since Operation Enduring Freedom, the technical intelligence area known as MASINT has become a key producer of actionable intelligence for U.S. combat forces.
		Tuttle explained that MASINT “measures various aspects of targets or events of interest (like a radar or chemical trail) that uniquely identify them with a kind of footprint, or signature.” Whether in Bosnia, Afghanistan, or Iraq, MASINT has increasingly played a role in satisfying the information requirements of military planners.
