According to the Air Force Institute of Technology's Center for MASINT Studies and Research, MASINT is split into six major disciplines: electro-optical, nuclear, radar, geophysical, materials, and radiofrequency. [2] Electro-optical MASINT. Airborne electro-optical missile tracking MASINT; Tactical counter-artillery sensors; Infrared MASINT
In 1991 [3] and 1995 US Army manuals dealing with counterintelligence, [4] CI had a broader scope against the then-major intelligence collection disciplines. While MASINT was defined as a formal discipline in 1986, [5] [6] it was sufficiently specialized not to be discussed in general counterintelligence documents of the next few years.
MASINT is made up of six major disciplines, but the disciplines overlap and intertwine. They interact with the more traditional intelligence disciplines of HUMINT, IMINT, and SIGINT. To be more confusing, while MASINT is highly technical and is called such, TECHINT is another discipline, dealing with such things as the analysis of captured ...
MASINT was recognized as a formal intelligence discipline in 1986. [1] See Measurement and Signature Intelligence for an overview of the discipline and its unifying principles. As with many branches of MASINT, specific techniques may overlap with the six major conceptual disciplines of MASINT defined by the Center for MASINT Studies and ...

Human intelligence (HUMINT, pronounced / ˈ h j uː m ɪ n t / HEW-mint) is intelligence-gathering by means of human sources and interpersonal communication. It is distinct from more technical intelligence-gathering disciplines, such as signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), and measurement and signature intelligence ...
Materials intelligence is one of the major MASINT disciplines. [2] As with many branches of MASINT, specific techniques may overlap with the six major conceptual disciplines of MASINT defined by the Center for MASINT Studies and Research, which divides MASINT into Electro-optical, Nuclear, Geophysical, Radar, Materials, and Radiofrequency ...
The signals intelligence disciplines of communications and electronic intelligence focus on the information in those signals themselves, as with COMINT detecting the speech in a voice communication or ELINT measuring the frequency, pulse repetition rate, and other characteristics of a radar.
