Welcome to the
Air
Force Institute of Technology's Center for MASINT Studies
and Research (CMSR).
We are focused on Air Force
and DoD MASINT (Measurement And Signature
Intelligence) scientific, technical, and operational activities
through our graduate research programs.
The Institute has always had active programs in three key disciplines
that are central to infrared intelligence (IRINT),
radar intelligence (RADINT), and nuclear intelligence
(NUCINT). Because
of its strong programs in electro-optics, radar, and nuclear
sciences, and the addition of programs in meteorology and space
environment physics, computational chemistry and environmental
management, an academic infrastructure now exists that puts AFIT
in a class by itself to provide defense-focused education and
research at a security classification level that meets the criteria
of the intelligence community.
In building CMSR into
a center of excellence, strategic partnerships with world-class
intelligence and research organizations located at Wright-Patterson
AFB allow CMSR to maintain relevancy to the
requirements and needs of the these two communities. These partnerships
also extended to local MASINT contractors supporting
on-base functions. Consequently, CMSR has truly
become a national resource for the MASINT community
for educating a new generation of MASINT professionals to assure
the preeminence of our air and space, ground, and naval forces.
