Study Notes
Intelligence Collection
- There are five main ways of gathering intelligence: Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), and Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT).

- Limitations of OSINT collection include:
- Information may not always be accurate or up-to-date
- Sources may be biased or unreliable
- Can be time-consuming and labor-intensive
