The Department of Defense has relied on radio frequency since the early days of Morse code, but in recent years, spectrum operations have gained new urgency as Russia, China, and other adversaries invest in electromagnetic warfare (EW), as evident in the current war in Ukraine. We partnered with Booz Allen Hamilton on this new report, where you'll see how DoD can improve its spectrum operations and EW capabilities. We examine the department's challenges, the key components of a successful spectrum operations strategy, and best practices for achieving spectrum dominance: https://lnkd.in/eah5HPzV

Electronic warfare has been around for a long time, but the spectrum war in Ukraine is clearly different. Why is that? Over the last two decades we've seen some pretty big changes in RF technology. Smaller, more efficient radio components, software defined RF systems, and increasingly more powerful compute platforms have combined to create a world of devices in the military and civilian domains that rely on the spectrum to connect to the world and understand where they are in the world. Just think about the evolution in cell phones over the last two decades. Civilians and militaries do more with the spectrum than ever before. Of course the flip side of those technology developments is that it's easier than ever to build or repurpose equipment to monitor what's going on in the spectrum and deny everyone else's ability to use the spectrum. Electronic warfare used to be a "big" capability accessible only to the most advanced nation states. It's now a "medium" or "small" capability accessible to anyone who can afford a software defined radio and knows what they're doing. For these reasons, we're seeing a new kind of protracted, evolving spectrum fight for the first time, but not the last. As always, don't take my word for things like this; listen to spectrum warfare professionals like the Space Force colonel quoted in the article below. #electronicwarfare #ew #ukraine #spaceforce https://lnkd.in/eQRuREc4

What new and advanced psychic modality are Intelligence Agencies employing for warfare? Could these techniques also be used for ET communication and UAP piloting? Richard Doty, a retired counterintelligence agent, reveals an advanced military psychic technique called Thought Projection Acquisition. Unlike traditional methods of remote viewing and astral projection, which typically achieve only a 60% accuracy rate, this technique demonstrates 99%. While much of this technology remains classified, Doty offers insights into transpectral positioning, a technique used for projecting or receiving thoughts. He hints at its potential applications with direction communication with ETs, UAP piloting, and information retrieval. https://lnkd.in/gY3Hgb2d

Traveling Wave Tubes Still Best Solution For High RF-Power EW Systems When it comes to generating serious amounts of RF power, traveling wave tubes (TWTs) continue to be the power solution of choice for electronic warfare (EW) systems. Learn more about why TWTs are the best choice for EW systems designers who must meet the challenges of today's military environment. https://lnkd.in/ejxQnfWJ #electronicwarfare #rfpower #travelingwavetube

The modern electromagnetic battlespace is becoming more distributed, more mobile and more lethal. As near-peer adversaries continue to develop and deploy advanced electronic warfare (#EW) capabilities, the ability for the warfighter to communicate and share data to achieve decision dominance in contested environments is mission-critical. Silvus Technologies’ Jimi Henderson joins host Thomas Withington on the Armada International MilCom Podcast to examine the challenges of establishing resilient and robust mesh communication networks, and the innovative solutions that are empowering the #warfighter to achieve Spectrum Dominance at the tactical edge. #SpectrumDominance #MIMO #StreamCaster #MILCOM #DefenseInnovation

Technology of the Month - Radar Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses radio waves to detect objects, measure their distance, and track their movement. It works by sending out radio waves that bounce off objects, such as ships, aircraft, or terrain. When these waves return to the radar system, the time it takes for them to come back and the way they reflect is analyzed, allowing the system to calculate the object's location, speed, and direction. Radar played a crucial role in the Battle of Leyte Gulf (https://lnkd.in/dqWp57_i), significantly improving the U.S. Navy's ability to detect and track enemy ships and aircraft, particularly during nighttime and poor visibility. This technological advantage allowed the Allies to anticipate and counter Japanese movements, contributing to their victory. Radar-assisted gunnery helped the U.S. forces achieve success in key engagements such as the Battle of Surigao Strait, where they destroyed a large portion of Japanese battleships.
