NSA and Turkey Cooperate on WAGTAIL Collection

SUMMARY

"WAGTAIL," a new system for collecting PCM (pulse code modulation) signals, has been established in Turkey as a collaboration between the NSA's Technical Liaison Office and the Turkish military. From its location on a Turkish base, the NSA hopes to intercept fax and call signals from Syrian intelligence, several mujahideen and terrorist organizations, and the Syrian presidential palace that will lead to new sources of intelligence, which it will share with its Turkish counterpart.
