Infrared MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
LASER MASINT [r]: The use of lasers as part of electro-optical MASINT systems, such as laser rangefinders and other electro-optical tracking for cueing; the measurement and signatures of adversary lasers; and the use of lasers as remote exciters for spectroscopic MASINT ^[e]
Optical measurement of nuclear explosions MASINT [r]: Techniques combining electro-optical tracking with sequential measurement of the size and shape of the fireball, possibly combining spectroscopic MASINT, used in projects SPEEDLIGHT and BURNING LIGHT, and other above-ground tests ^[e]
Spectroscopic MASINT [r]: A electro-optical measurement and signature intelligence technique to measure the electromagnetic spectrum reflected from or emitted by an object, typically within the infrared through ultraviolet wavelength range, and compare it to spectral signatures of known objects ^[e]

Imagery intelligence [r]: the practice of taking and interpreting visible and infrared light photographs and video, radar imagery, and other ways to form pictures of subjects of interest ^[e]
Materials MASINT [r]: A discipline involving the measurement of signatures from the collection, processing, and analysis of gas, liquid, or solid samples; it complements technical intelligence: a technical intelligence analyst would work with a captured example of the weapon, or at least pieces of it, to come to that understanding of the propellant, while an analyst of this technique would infer the propellant through analysis of the exhaust ^[e]

Signals intelligence [r]: the practice of acquiring information through monitoring the electromagnetic signals deliberately trasmitted by an opponent, including communications (COMINT) and non-communications electronics such as radar (ELINT). ^[e]
