Engineering Espionage: how technological innovation has shaped secret intelligence
Description
The collection of secret intelligence pits the wits of the spies against those of their targets. During the course of the 20th century, this battle produced some remarkable pieces of innovation to overcome both the secrecy of the targets and the constraints of available technology.
The talk will examine examples of this innovation, running from World War Two through the Cold War to the present day, covering imagery, signals intelligence and cyber warfare.
