Since it deals with signals that are not exchanged by humans, it is a subset ofELINT , which, in turn, is a subset ofSIGINT .Typical examples of such communication include:
*Telemetry data (TELINT). Missiles, satellites, and other remotely-monitored devices often transmit streams of data concerning their location, speed, engine status and other metrics.*Video data links. These may be present in UAVs or from satellites used for reconnaissance.
