Intelligence gathering disciplines

States (US) are unfamiliar with the threat more conventional nation-states pose to the country’s national security. China, Iran, and Russia are seen as the three biggest threats to U.S. national security. Although Russia does not dominate the intelligence disciplines of HUMINT, OSINT, and cyber, its strengths in SIGINT, IMINT, and MASINT make it the biggest threat to the US. HUMINT Russia’s HUMINT program is slightly behind China’s, but slightly ahead of Iran’s. China encourages its citizens to bring

Introduction This essay examines two forms of intelligence collection, namely signals intelligence (SIGINT) and open source intelligence (OSINT), with a view to determining whether the collection methods can be ranked in terms of importance. To this end, this essay will describe SIGINT and OSINT, with a focus on outlining the relative advantages and disadvantages of each method. It will be shown that any attempt to 'rank' collection methods in terms of their importance is only productive insofar

computation, intelligence were mainly gathered from a person on the field. This discipline of intelligence gathering also known as human intelligence is still in use in today’s world, but it is backed up by modern technological intelligence gathering disciplines. Modern intelligence collection were mostly introduced due to the improvement in today’s world technologies. In today’s world, governments and organizations use a combination of different possible disciplines available to gather intelligence. Intelligence

Culture of the Central Intelligence Agency The CIA’s website describes its organizational culture as focused on continuous improvement, integrity, teamwork and accountability.

Over the years, the organization structure has evolved to fit into the evolving political, social and economic landscape although its staff has been known to be resistant to change (Lowenthal, 2017)

SIGINT entails interception of communication signals through ELINT (electronic intelligence), FISINT (foreign instrumentation signals intelligence), and COMINT (communications intelligence). COMINT involves the information retrieved from communication transmission. COMINT targets video, facsimile messages, teleprinter traffic, and voice. COMINT is gatherable from fiber cables, cables

an Iraqi defector turned German informant that sold the world on the existence of Weapon of Mass Destruction in Iraq. “Los Angeles Times reports, top Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) officials apparently ignored warnings in late 2002 and early 2003 that an informant code-named "Curveball," the chief source of prewar United States intelligence about Iraqi germ weapons, was unreliable” (Drogin & Miller, 2005).

There has been a considerable number of emotional intelligence studies done on a variety of disciplines such as psychology, sociology and criminology. For many decades, criminal behavior has been studied by these disciplines. Recently, these studies have focus on the relationship of criminal behavior, with intelligence and personality traits. There also exists a large number of studies that evaluate the emotional intelligence of both, transgressors and non-offenders. However, a small amount of these

Technological advances and the skillful tradecraft of intelligence disciplines such as Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial (GEOINT) and Imagery Intelligences (IMINT), Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) can supplement disasters even further. Due to the nature of transnational organizations, criminal and terrorist organizations, the

In the intelligence community to reduce redundancy, wasting resources, and create efficient reports. Per Richard K. Betts, single reports can be efficient and can by centralization the reports and close the gap in between the agencies. This centralization can create and give the leaders more time to review the case, discuss the problem or the data, analyze the situation regards the homeland security, the interests, analyze solutions, compare available solutions effect, make the decision. Also, it
