COMINT

COMINT, or Communications Intelligence, is a type of intelligence gathering that involves intercepting and analyzing foreign communications, such as phone calls, radio transmissions, or emails. Its goal is to gain insights into the intentions, plans, or capabilities of other countries or groups by listening in on their exchanges. This process helps governments understand potential threats, monitor diplomatic or military activities, and make informed decisions. COMINT is a critical component of national security and intelligence operations, relying on sophisticated technology and careful analysis to interpret the intercepted information without necessarily understanding the content at a human level.
