Ever since the earliest days of the Cold War, American intelligence agencies have launched spies in the sky, implanted spies in the ether, burrowed spies underground, sunk spies in the ocean, and even tried to control spies' minds by chemical means. But these weren't human spies. Instead, the United States expanded its reach around the globe ......
Leading intelligence experts Mark M. Lowenthal and Robert M. Clark bring together an all new, groundbreaking title. The Five Disciplines of Intelligence Collection describes, in non-technical terms, the definition, history, process, management, and future trends of each intelligence collection source (INT). Authoritative and non-polemical, this book is the perfect teaching tool for classes addressing various types of collection. Chapter authors are past or current senior practitioners of the INT they discuss, providing expert assessment of ways particular types of collection fit within the larger context of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This volume shows all-source analysts a full picture of how to better task and collaborate with their collection partners, and gives intelligence collectors an appreciation of what happens beyond their "stovepipes," as well as a clear assessment of the capabilities and limitations of INT collection.
Robert Clark not only explains specific collection systems for analysts, but helps collectors work across boundaries and stovepipes, encouraging them to share collection approaches and to promote cross-pollination of ideas across the collection disciplines. The first part of the book covers open source (OSINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), communications intelligence (COMINT), and cyber collection , while the second part of the book is concerned with signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), and others. There is also a chapter devoted to the management of intelligence collection. This full-colour guide is richly illustrated with images and graphics that help readers see examples of each type of collection material.

Epidemiologists and national security agencies warned for years about the potential for a deadly pandemic, but global surveillance and warning systems were not enough to avert the COVID-19 disaster.
