We understand that 80 per cent of its operational budget is directed to the signals intercept program for communications intelligence which uses radio waves or radar to spy and protect national security; for example, telemetry intelligence, interception of signals relaying information from sensors on board a test vehicle to test engineers, revealing the vehicle's flight and performance characteristics.
Nous savons que 80 p. 100 de son budget de fonctionnement est consacré au programme d'interception des signaux aux fins du renseignement sur les communications. Le CST utilise les ondes radio ou le radar pour faire de l'espionnage afin de protéger la sécurité nationale.
