Morphology
The noun–noun compound is compositionally regular: 'electronics' modifies 'intelligence', so a learner who knows both words can infer it means intelligence derived from electronics or electronic emissions. The detailed technical scope (e.g. excluding radioactive sources) is specialized, but the core meaning is directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Electronics intelligence comes from the simple idea of listening to invisible 'electronic signals' sent by radios and other devices. Electronics is about those devices and intelligence means the 'information' gathered, so the phrase means getting useful information by studying those hidden signals.
