Accurate intel is the cornerstone of mission success, and it's up to the Signals Collector/Analyst to locate, identify, collect, and exploit enemy communications to extract this information. Using intercept devices, these Soldiers will identify hostile signals and report their findings to leadership.

In this role, you will search the radio frequency spectrum to collect, identify, and record target communications and selected electro-optic or foreign instrumentation signals; install and operate electronic intelligence collection systems; acquisition, analysis, and recording of targeted communications; analyzing communications using a real-time spectrum analyzer; and using oscilloscopes to find waveforms in communication.
