SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ANALYST
GATHERING INFO FROM THE AIR

Utilizing sophisticated equipment, Signals Intelligence Analysts extract, analyze and identify foreign activity and communication that come from electromagnetic emissions. These analysts relay their findings by producing combat, strategic and tactical intelligence reports and notify the appropriate commanders of unusual activity or critical situations so we can respond with the necessary speed, force and precision.
- Operate electronic equipment and computer systems to exploit signal intelligence
- Manipulate and extract intelligence data from electromagnetic emissions
