RISSMAN telemetry signal preprocessing equipment and description at <strong>the</strong><br />
National Cryptologic Museum<br />
The knowledge gained from foreign telemetry<br />
collection and analysis, as well as o<strong>the</strong>r ELINT signals,<br />
provided information for <strong>the</strong> United States to<br />
design electronic countermeasures. Equipment such<br />
as radar warning systems and jamming equipment<br />
were designed and helped protect those in harm’s<br />
way. Decision and policy makers also used <strong>the</strong> data<br />
gained from <strong>the</strong>se signals to formulate defense policy<br />
and guide treaty negotiations.<br />
