DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONIC ATTACK


    OBJECTIVE:
  • PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY TO INTERCEPT AND BRING UNDER ELECTRONIC ATTACK ADVANCED DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS SIGNALS.
  • DISRUPT, DENY, AND/OR MODIFY BY DECEPTIVE TECHNIQUES TO RENDER THE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM INEFFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE.
  • FOCUS ON DIGITAL FORMATS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTED BY A VARIETY OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
    JUSTIFICATION:
  • THESE ARE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS IN USE TODAY.
  • ARE BEING FURTHER TECHNOLOGICALY DEVELOPED.
  • ARE RECOGNIZED AS THREAT CAPABILITIES.
  • ENABLE THE FORCE TO WAGE AGGRESSIVE OFFENSIVE INFORMATION WARFARE.
