Defining Communications Intelligence

Communications Intelligence (COMINT) is a subset of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). COMINT focuses on the interception, analysis, and interpretation of electronic signals. These signals may be encrypted or unencrypted messages transmitted over radio or satellite channels. This is a crucial component of national security and intelligence operations, providing critical insights that inform decision-making and strategic planning.

COMINT is utilised by organisations including:

  • National Defence Forces for gaining insight into adversaries’ movements, strategies, and capabilities
  • Signals Intelligence Authorities for understanding the plans and intentions of terrorist organisations and criminal networks
  • Law Enforcement Agencies for investigating criminal activities or tracking illegal operations
  • Border Control for identifying and locating threats to border security and illegal crossings

Our Optimised COMINT Systems

Traditionally, monitoring tens or even thousands of audio communication channels has necessitated the use of numerous narrowband radios, leading to expensive systems with substantial space requirements. However, at Novator Solutions, we offer COMINT systems capable of acquiring both wideband and thousands of narrowband signals within a single platform, significantly reducing overall costs and physical footprint.

FAQ

  • What is Communications Intelligence (COMINT)?

  • COMINT is the practice of gathering intelligence by intercepting communications signals. COMINT aims to intercept an adversary’s communication, providing allied forces with insight into their plans, position and strategies. This can feed into long-term strategic intelligence or decision-making at the tactical edge.

  • How does COMINT differ from ELINT?

  • COMINT specifically relates to the gathering of signals that convey information from point A to point B. ELINT relates to any signals that are not directly used for communication. This includes signals from radars, jammers, navigation systems and other electromagnetic emissions.
