Telemetry intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telemetry intelligence (TELINT) is a subdiscipline of ELINT and COMINT which is concerned with missiles and other remotely-monitored devices sending back continuous streams of data about their location, speed, engine status and other metrics. This data can provide valuable information on the actual performance of the missile and especially its throw-weight, i.e. the potential size of its warhead\s.
