    Spain operates both a SIGINT ship and a SIGINT aircraft in an apparently strategic function. Its submarines have SIGINT, at least for targeting. The air component is a 707 variant , modified by Israel and equipped with Israeli and Spanish electronics.

  4. Foreign instrumentation signals intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_instrumentation...

    Since it deals with signals that have communicational content, it is a subset of Communications Intelligence (COMINT), which, in turn, is a subset of SIGINT. Unlike general COMINT signals, the content of FISINT signals is not in regular human language, but rather in machine to machine (instrumentation) language or in a combination of regular ...

    Signal collectors, which concentrate the energy, as with a telescope lens, or a radar antenna that focuses the energy at a detector; Signal detectors, such as charge-coupled devices for light or a radar receiver; Signal processing, which may remove artifacts from single images, or compute a synthetic image from multiple views; Recording mechanism

    The United States Army Security Agency (ASA) was the United States Army's signals intelligence branch from 1945 to 1977. [1] The Latin motto of the Army Security Agency was Semper Vigilis (Vigilant Always), which echoes the declaration, often mistakenly attributed to Thomas Jefferson, that "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

    Before the development of radar and other electronics techniques, signals intelligence (SIGINT) and communications intelligence (COMINT) were essentially synonymous. Sir Francis Walsingham ran a postal interception bureau with some cryptanalytic capability during the reign of Elizabeth I, but the technology was only slightly less advanced than men with shotguns, during World War I, who jammed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOT-A

    They are low-level SIGINT collection teams that intercept and report operational and technical information derived from tactical threat communications through prescribed communications paths. The mission of a SOT-A is to conduct SIGINT/EW in support of information operations (unilaterally or in conjunction with other Special Operations Forces ...

    In particular, the POSIX specification and the Linux man page signal (7) require that all system functions directly or indirectly called from a signal function are async-signal safe. [6] [7] The signal-safety(7) man page gives a list of such async-signal safe system functions (practically the system calls), otherwise it is an undefined behavior ...
