Abstract
Systems and methods of collecting intelligence provide an intelligence system having a front-end, a post-processing stage and a direction-finding stage. The front-end may generate digital data based on received RF signals, where the post-processing stage may process the digital data. The direction finding stage is able to prevent the post-processing stage from processing portions of the digital data that correspond to RF signals arriving from a direction other than a pre-determined direction. In one embodiment, the front end collects the RF signals in a plurality of parallel channels.
