- National technical means of verification [r]: Euphemism principally for imagery intelligence satellites and other means of strategic arms control verification, principally because the Soviet Union did not want its public to know that they could not prevent Western observation of the state [e]
Subtopics
- Telemetry intelligence [r]: A subset of foreign instrumentation signals intelligence, which captures and interprets engineering telemetry transmitted from systems under test; arms control national means of technical verification may include agreements to help the participants verify through TELINT, providing them with detailed information on telemetry formats [e]}
- National Security Agency [r]: An organization within the United States Department of Defense, with the dual roles of the principal signals intelligence agency in the United States intelligence community , but also having the responsibility for information assurance of military, diplomatic, and other critical communications.

- Central Intelligence Agency [r]: The principal civilian intelligence organization of the United States, specializing in all-source intelligence analysis, clandestine human-source intelligence, and covert action. [e]
- Spectroscopic MASINT [r]: A electro-optical measurement and signature intelligence technique to measure the electromagnetic spectrum reflected from or emitted by an object, typically within the infrared through ultraviolet wavelength range, and compare it to spectral signatures of known objects [e]
- Electronic warfare [r]: A subset of information operations that deals with the use of electromagnetic or kinetic means to degrade an enemy's military electronics systems, to be able to operate one's own electronics in the face of enemy attacks, and to evade those attacks through protection or deception [e]
- Ballistic missile [r]: A guided missile which, once its engines stop firing, follows a generally parabolic path to its target, defined by momentum, aerodynamic resistance, and gravity [e]
- FISINT [r]: A branch of signals intelligence that intercepts foreign instrumentation signals generated during testing and operations, including but not limited to telemetry intelligence (TELINT); it also includes such things as video cameras tracking missile launches, radar specifically used as part of the test, etc. [e]
