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.
