Significant debate surrounds the concept of “peaceful use of space” as delineated in various international treaties and espoused in the United States (US) Space Policy. The US view allows military space applications. One remaining frontier...
This graphic survey of radio and radar equipment used by the Army Air Forces is intended to furnish authorized personnel with graphic and narrative data relative to description, electrical and physical characteristics, purpose, and tactical...
The importance of protecting limited aircraft assets cannot be overstated. The loss of a modern aircraft entails the probable loss of highly trained and experienced crews that took years to develop. Furthermore, if a target is missed because of...
"This 1975 manual is a guide for commanders, staff officers, and personnel concerned with field artillery communications. The purpose of the manual is to provide, in a detailed but non-technical explanation, the basic knowledge required in the...
This monograph discusses heavy division organic SIGINT and its limited ability to aid the commander in the division's fight. Modern weapon system employment demands that intelligence and SIGINT provide precision intelligence at extended ranges....
This study attempts to show that the U.S. Army AIM division signal battalion cannot provide reliable communications support when confronted with the current Soviet radioelectronic combat threat. The investigation is centered on the fact that the...
US Army land navigation systems primarily rely on GPS-enabled technologies. The US Army has developed and integrated precision position, navigation, and timing systems into every aspect of operations from land navigation and unit position tracking...
To what extent do the Chinese cyber-warriors--within the People's Liberation Army along with both state and non-state sponsored hackers/crackers--represent a viable threat to both the security and prosperity of our nation as a whole? In the past...
This study is an examination of how current close air support doctrine, when opposed by Soviet/Warsaw Pact radioelectronic combat capabilities, impacts the U.S. Air Force's ability to closely support the ground commander in Central Europe....
This essay discusses the weaknesses of Global Positioning System (GPS) use in combat, and in particular its susceptibility to Electronic Warfare (EW). Jamming a radio signal has been a successful component of EW for decades, dating back to the...
This study is undertaken to determine whether it is possible to develop a realistic computerized mathematical model for FM tactical radios operating under the influence of enemy jamming. A simplified model of the single channel communication system...
This essay speaks of the overall advantages gained by the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in combat. Fratricide has been reduced because of the effective use of GPS in common equipment employed by troops. Collateral damage that might...
This publication describes the concept and procedures for conducting C3CM strategy to gain a combat advantage by protecting friendly command, control, and communications (C3) while at the same time destroying or degrading the enemy's C3 system.
The importance of protecting limited aircraft assets cannot be overstated. The loss of a modern aircraft entails the probable loss of highly trained and experienced crews that took years to develop. Furthermore, if a target is missed because of...
This monograph examines the question can the military intelligence battalion (Combat Electronic Warfare Intelligence) [MI BN (CEWI)] maneuver on the modern battlefield and function as a viable combat multiplier. The evolution of the US Army...
This monograph examines the ability of each service to support the joint suppression of enemy air defenses (J-SEAD). J-SEAD involves using all available forces, such as aircraft, artillery and electronic warfare, to effectively suppress enemy...
The Department of Defense (DoD) has depended on different space-based assets as critical components to battlefield operations. As technology has evolved, space-based assets have become the eyes and ears of the military. Unfortunately, these assets...
This monograph examines the U. S. military capability to defend strategic airlift aircraft against current and projected threats in humanitarian assistance operations. The size of the Joint Task Force (JTF) is frequently restricted by political,...
Unmanned Aircraft are fulfilling critical roles in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are integral in base defense plans and the protection of key infrastructure. They enable commanders to monitor activity throughout their area of responsibility and direct...
Although there are credible threats to the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), sustainment of the constellation remains the greatest challenge. As GPS satellites reach the end of their operational life cycle, there is a risk the United...
