The definition of all-source intelligence has changed over time. The distinction between intelligence that is single source and that which uses multiple sources has become outmoded. Intelligence analysts that produced intelligence primarily from SIGINT or IMINT, for instance, were considered single-INT producers. Because of the need to incorporate all-relevant information in reporting, IMINT analysts became GEOINT analysts that include not only IMINT but relevant information from other intelligence sources. This was especially important in the aftermath of the 9/11 intelligence failures. In the aftermath of these events, collaborative tools such as A-Space and Intellipedia are used for collaboration amongst all members of the Intelligence Community.cite-ref-fingar-3-0[3]

Sources considered for use in all-source intelligence analysis include the following:cite-ref-fingar-3-1[3]

• HUMINT – Intelligence gathered by means interpersonal contact

• MASINT – Technical branch of intelligence gathering

• SIGINT – Intelligence-gathering by interception of signals

• GEOINT – Information on military opponents' locationPages displaying short descriptions of redirect targets

• IMINT – Intelligence gathered by means of imagery

• OSINT – Data collected from publicly available sources to be used in an intelligence context

• TECHINT – Information about the weapons and technological capabilities of a foreign adversary
