- Foreign instrumentation signals intelligence [r]: A subset of signals intelligence, which intercepts and processes a wide variety of electromagnetic signals used by an adversary in testing weapons, such as telemetry, but also including video and radar tracking; communications intelligence from the testing organization complements it, as do measurement and signature intelligence sensors directed at the system under test [e]
- Hypertext [r]: A means of combining human-readable information with metadata about the information, with special reference to the ability to "link" or "jump" to subjects of interest; invented by Ted Nelson at Project Xanadu in the 1960s and first deployed as Apple Computer's product, Hypercard; ancestor of the Hypertext Markup Language and the World Wide Web [e]
