Parent topics
- Intelligence collection managment [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radar [r]: Acronym for "radio detection and ranging"; a system used to locate a distant object by transmission of radio waves and reception of their reflection. [e]
- Radio [r]: Transmission and reception of information, which can be voice, data or imagery over electromagnetic radiation in free space (i.e., wireless). The information is modulated onto a carrier wave [e]
- Telephony [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- Arlington Hall [r]: Former girls' school in Arlington, Virginia, taken over for signals intelligence work in the Second World War and used for many years by the Defense Intelligence Agency and U.S. Army intelligence; now occupied by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center and the National Guard Bureau [e]
- Bletchley Park [r]: Victorian estate in Buckinghamshire that was the key location for Allied code-breaking during World War II. [e]
- Enigma machine [r]: The primary high-security cryptographic communications security machine of Nazi Germany. Unknown to the Germans, it had been substantially cryptanalyzed by the British Government Code and Cipher School, with French, Polish, and U.S. help. [e]
- Government Code and Cipher School [r]: World War II cover name for the British signals intelligence organization; now the Government Communications Headquarters [e]
- William Friedman [r]: Possibly the greatest cryptologist in history, he pioneered the application of mathematics to cryptanalysis and built the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence Service technical base. [e]
- Dilwyn Knox [r]: Add brief definition or description
- OP-20G [r]: Signals intelligence organization of the United States Navy in the Second World War; its Army counterpart was the Signals Intelligence Service [e]
- Joseph Rochefort [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Signals Intelligence Service [r]: U.S. Army organization for signals intelligence in the Second World War; its Navy counterpart was OP-20G [e]
- Alan Turing [r]: British mathematician, code breaker and computer pioneer. [e]
- ULTRA [r]: ULTRA was the main code word, in the Second World War, for British signals intelligence directed at Nazi Germany. [e]
- Communications act of 1934 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. [e]
- Direction finding [r]: Finding the location of an electromagnetic emitter, either by the crossed bearings from directional antennas from various known points, or by time of arrival or time difference of arrival of the signal at those points [e]
- Goniometry [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radiofrequency MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
- SIGINT before the Second World War [r]: Add brief definition or description
- SIGINT from 1945 to 1989 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- SIGINT from 1990 to the present [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Traffic analysis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- VENONA [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wiretapping [r]: Add brief definition or description
