Signals intelligence

And now any SOF operator in any language could come into one terminal and ask a question and get provided the entire coalition's information in seconds.

And we saw anyone from Polish and Hungarian to French forces just get dropped into our software and start running things like GEOINT, SIGINT, OSINT workflows all together.

And I think more broadly in the international market, I think this is a function of Most countries do not have the infrastructure the US has, right? They don't have tens of thousands of highly skilled analysts sitting in offices waiting to support and answer questions and fuse information.

They know these, a lot of these foreign partners know the information exists.

So we provide that sort of data integration infrastructure layer for them.

We provide all the workflows on top of it.

We provide a lot of the encoded tradecraft so that, again, anyone from a mission partner that, you know, can't spell or doesn't know what SIGINT means or OSINT or any of those things are, they're able to run those workflows across those different tradecraft areas.

And then expanding that further, so Centcom can use this, Paycom can use this, but you also have commercial customers using this.

The operation lasted roughly 18 months from 1984 to 1984 before he was caught.

The types of information he gave to Israel included satellite imagery, satellite intelligence, that's the SIGINT reports, S-I-G-I-N-T, data on Soviet weapons systems being supplied to Arab states, intelligence assessments about threats in the Middle East.

You heard the comments there.

You're hearing what he stole.

The major error was that the Russian pilots identified it as an airliner and the leadership on the ground said to shoot it down anyway.

Without a boopity boop was the error that it was flying a known track of SIGINT and ELINT aircraft, spy aircraft flown by the U.S. government.

A boopity boop, they left the autopilot in heading mode instead of switching to INS mode.

In heading mode, the plane kept flying at 245 degrees magnetic instead of waypoint to waypoint.

But in addition to that, there are three separate ISR packages on StarShield.

The first is a SIGINT satellite.

So it does all of the signals intelligence.

It picks up radios, two-way radios, cell phones, any kind of broadcasts.

And the coverage of these satellites is it's almost persistent coverage over an area.

In places like Russia, a visual satellite goes over, or even eastern Ukraine, a visual satellite goes over about every 20 minutes.

Also, a SIGINT satellite goes over.

as well as a SAR, Synthetic Aperture Radar, satellite goes over.

Pine Gap's got a range of different capabilities.

One is this infrared system that I've talked about, but it also does SIGINT, which means it has a whole bunch of other satellite dishes which can access signals intelligence collected by satellites, you know, 30,000 kilometres above the Earth's surface.

They collect things like mobile phones, you know, microwave communications.

So it allows a very comprehensive look at all sorts of digital communications going on.

But a lot of our evidence was just papers that we would generate.

So we would generate, you know, evidence that we'd created, you know, a human report or GEOINT or there would be a SIGINT transcript.

Um, and what was amazing about this last day of intrigue where, you know, you were there and we're sitting in the white cell room and the white cell room is sort of the room where the game controllers are during the game, right? So they're overseeing the game.

To force decision-making, right?

And it goes from high-altitude balloons, solar-powered gliders, and they have the BizJet ISRs, HADEs, and they're looking at kind of smaller autonomous systems.

And the tests that Vivian alluded to that put up large numbers of pretty small high altitude balloons and the g2 office said a lot of what they wanted to learn out of this is just essentially the challenges of it you can't really control many of these at these um at these altitudes and so basically trying to figure out you put them up where do they go what are the what are the implications of a few of them if they kind of stray away from where you want to go and what ELINT SIGINT type payloads are effective at that altitude.

And I wanted to kind of segue back into, as part of the MDSS, the ISR jets.

There's been a lot of confusion on this over the past couple of weeks.

From our understanding, there is a great deal of intelligence.

Somebody recent told, recently told us there was a mountain of intelligence that indicates that there were intelligence operatives in the area of some of these events, at the time of some of these events, um, that there is actual CCTV footage of events, uh, that there is, um, what we call, um, in the intelligence community, um, uh, SIGINT, which is signals intelligence.

Mm-hmm, signals intelligence, meaning picking up cell phones, signals, that sort of thing.

Phone calls and recorded conversations-

Um, and from what we understand from insiders like John Thorne and others, we have multiple sources that we haven't put on television and haven't wanted to go on television, who have told us there's a lot of information in there that was not shared, uh, up through the investigation in terms of, um, operatives from adversarial countries being engaged in these operations.

Again, we have CCTV footage.

There's SIGINT, uh, lots of OSINT, so, uh, there's-
