NSA Code Names Revealed

March 13, 2012

The list below current NSA (and NSA-contractor) programs (as of March 13, 2012) involved in all aspects of signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and storage. Some are purely administrative programs, some are tools and databases associated with social network analysis, metadata analysis, and target research. The current focus of NSA's work seems to be the telecommunications infrastructure to include wireless, optical, electrical, and converged networks.

Current intelligence lingo associated with these programs include:

* Dial Number Recognition (DNR)
* Digital Network Intelligence (DNI)
* Geospatial Metadata Analysis (GMA)
* SIGINT Geospatial Analysis (SGA)
* SIGINT Terminal Guidance (STG)
