Non-communications signals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In signals intelligence (SIGINT) , non-communications signals are any signals sent out for a purpose other than communicating information. This includes radar emissions and emissions from instrumentation (which provide information, but are not sent out for the purpose of providing information to others). [1] [2] [3]

Electronic signals intelligence (ELINT) , which came to be studied in great detail after World War II , attempts to detect and analyze enemy non-communications signals. [3] [4] Foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT) focuses specifically on non-communications signals emitted by instrumentation, including telemetry signals sent between components of a system.
