Electronic intelligence (ELINT)

Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) involves collecting and analyzing electronic signals emitted by communication and radar systems to gather information about an opponent’s military capabilities and activities. It focuses on detecting, intercepting, and interpreting signals like radar pulses without necessarily engaging in active communication. ELINT provides valuable insights into enemy technology, positioning, and tactics, aiding in strategic decision-making and threat assessment. It’s an essential component of modern military intelligence, utilizing advanced sensors and analysis techniques to monitor electronic emissions and gain a tactical advantage.
