DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY OBJECTIVES
INFORMATION WARFARE
I.01. Digital Communications Electronic Attack. Provide the capability to intercept and bring under electronic attack advanced digital telecommunication systems and to apply this capability to the disruption, denial, and deception of modern information systems. By FY97, demonstrate electronic attack against selected modern digital telecommunication capabilities. By FY99, demonstrate the ability to disrupt, deny use of, and deceive selected modern digital telecommunication systems. When complete, this will provide an electronic attack capability against advanced communications in use today, and those that are being further technologically developed, and which are recognized as threat capabilities which will have to be faced in future conflicts.

I.02. Information Warfare Planning Tool ACTD (Proposed). Provide in-theater offensive IW planning aids that help the warfighter quickly choose IW options via modeling and simulation tools. The tools will allow CINCs to choose the best IW tools and targets and will integrate lethal and nonlethal options to support objectives. By FY99, demonstrate semi-automated tools that will bring IW-related components into the planning process to meet CINC stated objectives. Initially, the tool will be centered on Integrated Air Defense Systems. By FY01, incorporate other target systems as they become available.

I.03. Navigation Warfare ACTD. This ACTD has three goals: (1) develop techniques and equipment to protect the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the face of hostile countermeasures; (2) limit the ability of hostile forces to obtain military benefit from GPS; and (3) provide an environment to develop and refine concepts of operation (CONOPs) for the use of GPS in the face of electronic countermeasures (ECM). A fourth objective is to accomplish the first three goals without impacting the civilian use of GPS outside of the theater of military operation. No changes to the GPS satellites or to the GPS navigation signal structure are planned as part of the ACTD. The ACTD will leave behind GPS receivers that can directly access the encrypted military navigation code P(Y), CONOPS for the use of GPS in a stressed environment, and other equipment.
