Intelligence Gathering Disciplines

HUMINT - Human Intelligence - gathered from a person on the ground.
GEOINT - Geospatial Intelligence - gathered from satellite, aerial photography, mapping/terrain data
- IMINT - Imagery Intelligence - gathered from satellite and aerial photography
MASINT - Measurement and Signature Intelligence
OSINT - Open Source Intelligence - gathered from open sources
SIGINT - Signals Intelligence - gathered from interception of signals
- COMINT - Communications Intelligence
- ELINT - Electronic Intelligence - gathered from non-communications electronic emissions
  - FISINT - Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence
    - TELINT - Telemetry Intelligence - the collection and analysis of telemetry data from the target's missile or sometimes from aircraft tests.
TECHINT - Technical Intelligence - gathered from analysis of weapons and equipment used by the armed forces of foreign nations
FININT - Financial Intelligence - gathered from analysis of monetary transactions
MEDINT - Medical Intelligence - gathered from analysis of medical records and/or actual physiological examinations to determine health and/or particular ailments/allergetic conditions for exploitation.
VPBINT - Variable Programmable Beacon Intelligence - gathered via telematics from static and dynamic (mobile) variable programmable intelligent beacons. See 'generalised example' of Variable Programmable Beacon Intelligence system - potential capabilities, applications & component varieties.
