What is Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT)?
It is called measurement and signature intelligence, in other words "MASINT". MASINT is a very wide branch of intelligence, so it is a very useful and very helpful branch of intelligence.
MASINT is an intelligence branch used with the help of sensors to detect a fixed or moving object.
For example, a missile is approaching a ship in a submarine. We need to be able to find this missile beforehand and we can detect that missile using MASINT, so we can take action.
A second example is:
We need to determine what the enemy's equipment consists of from the air. With the help of MASINT, we can determine what these equipments are.
MASINT is needed for those cases.
Intelligence branches contained by MASINT
MASINT is a very broad type of intelligence. Therefore, it includes important intelligence branches. Let's learn these branches now.
Radar Intelligence (RADINT)
RADINT is a complement to SIGINT (signal intelligence). RADINT makes radar intelligence. RADINT works by collecting active or passive information from above horizon radar systems.
MASINT helps RADINT to detect moving targets.
Acoustic Intelligence (ACOUSTINT)
ACOUSTINT is a branch based on physics and military. The purpose of ACOUSTINT is to examine vibrations, sounds and waves in gases, liquids and solids.
MASINT helps to detect waves and vibrations in solids, liquids and gases. This definition is scientific and there is ACINT for military use. This ACINT is used to listen under the sea. Thus, an underwater missile can be prevented.
Nuclear Intelligence (NUCINT)
NUCINT is generally used in the nuclear field. This branch is used in producing nuclear energy, preparing nuclear weapons, analyzing nuclear radio and nuclear test analysis. MASINT's task here is to examine radioactive materials in nuclear test analysis with its sensors.
Radio Frequency / Electromagnetic Intelligence (RF/EMPINT)
RF (Radio Frequency) is actually complementary to SIGINT (Signal Intelligence). SIGINT can achieve their goal with help from this branch while trying to achieve the goal.
With the help of MASINT, RF tries to determine from which device the signals captured to SIGINT. With the sensors in MASINT, it is to be able to detect whether the signals coming to SIGINT come from a friend or an enemy.
EMPINT (Electromagnetic Intelligence) tries to measure the explosion power in nuclear energy. The explosion power of an airplane flying in the air was measured using sensors in MASINT. In addition, MASINT is used to measure the explosive power of nuclear weapons while making nuclear weapons.
Electro-optical Intelligence (ELECTRO-OPTINT)
Electro-optical Intelligence is a supplement to IMINT (Aerial Photography Intelligence). IMINT takes a photo and ELECTRO-OPTINT is used to understand this photo. Electro-optical intelligence works with infrared lights. Therefore, it helps us find the photos taken more easily.
If MASINT and ELECTRO-OPTINT come together, they can calculate the amount of energy and heat that emitted by a rocket about to be sent to space.
Material Intelligence
Material Intelligence is a branch created for collecting materials. It works for the collection, processing and analysis of solid, liquid and gas samples. MASINT's task here is to detect chemical, nuclear and radiological threats and to ensure general security.
Infrared Intelligence (IRINT)
Infrared intelligence (IRINT) is a branch of intelligence that is generally used for military purposes. This branch of intelligence aims to listen to the target.
If you ask how IRINT works, we choose a point for the target and send our infrared ray to that point. The ray we send is returning to us as a second ray and with this second beam we can listen to the point we set.
Geophysical Intelligence
Geophysical intelligence is a MASINT branch created to find and analyze underground resources. Its purpose is to detect moving and non-moving objects. That's why MASINT is very helpful in geophysics.
MASINT in the military field
Of course, these are very old and we are in modern period. So let's look at MASINT's goals in the modern military field.
Non-Cooperative target recognition
If a signal comes to the army at first, it is stated what signal they will send. While in a possible battle, MASINT sensors detect a soldier and send a signal to that soldier's radio. If the soldier receives the signal and he send the signals correctly, that soldier remains registered as a friend. However, the person who does not send the correct signal is detected as the enemy.
Soil Sensors
Unattended soil sensor, whether there is a trap under the ground or not is checked with MASINT sensors. Even the United States used this sensor in the Vietnam War. However, they failed because they could not operate the sensor correctly.

What is MASINT's properties?
MASINT is a very broad branch, so it is used in many areas, it also has so many features. MASINT is mostly used in the military field, nuclear field, physics field and intelligence field.
Since we will learn these features in MASINT's branches already, I don't need to mention here.
Now let's see what are the sub branches of MASINT and find out what is the difference of MASINT.
