I was referring to PREDATOR, IIRC. I tried to look it up in the book that was published about it by a former CSIS agent, but I can’t lay my hands on it right now. The project exploited the ability to collect telecommunication services microwave transmissions and sort the digitized voice and other collected traffic using IBM mainframe computers.
As I understand it ECHELON and CARNOVORE, for another example, covered other aspects of the signals intelligence.
Correction: CARNIVORE
Interesting re the names, predator/carnivore versus Echelon and FiveEyes.
