SIGINT for Anyone
The Growing Availability of Signals Intelligence in the Public Domain
Cortney Weinbaum, Steven Berner, and Bruce McClintock
SIGINT, or signals intelligence, is intelligence gathered
from communications, electronics, or foreign instrumen-
tation1 and has traditionally been considered an inher-
ently governmental function. Historically, only govern-
ment had the financial means and the legal authority to conduct
SIGINT activities, and, in our experience, many members of
the U.S. government still hold this opinion today. We tested this
viewpoint by conducting a market scan to seek examples of how
new technologies, innovations, and behaviors are challenging the
existing government-only paradigm. We examined the breadth of
technologies available now and reported to be released in the near
future to understand the capabilities each provides, which audience
or market each serves, and what implications each may have for
government policy and practices.
This was an exploratory effort, rather than a comprehensive
research endeavor. We relied on unclassified and publicly avail-
able materials to find examples of capabilities that challenge the
government-only paradigm. We identified ways these capabilities
and trends may impact the U.S. government in terms of emerging
threats, policy implications, technology repercussions, human capi-
tal considerations, and financial effects. Finally, we identified areas
for future study for U.S. and allied government leaders to respond
to these changes.
During our market scan, we found examples of SIGINT
capabilities outside of government that are available to anyone. The
capabilities we found have applications in maritime domain aware-
ness; radio frequency (RF) spectrum mapping; eavesdropping, jam-
ming, and hijacking of satellite communications; and cyber surveil-
lance. Most of these capabilities are commercially available, many
are free, and some are illegal. In our view, the existence of both
legal and illegal markets and capabilities results in an environment
where SIGINT has been democratized, or available to anyone.
