Technical Intelligence (TECHINT)

Technical Intelligence (TECHINT) is the analysis of foreign military equipment, technology, and scientific advancements to understand their capabilities and limitations. It involves collecting data from various sources such as intercepted communications, satellite images, and captured hardware, then interpreting this information to assess how other nations develop and deploy their technological resources. TECHINT helps governments and military organizations make informed decisions about defense strategies, anticipate potential threats, and maintain technological advantages. Essentially, it is the process of studying and understanding the technical aspects of a nation's military and technological assets.
