Our CEO Gregor Zowierucha was recently interviewed as one in a group of experts for an article about the strategic role of ground-based Communications Intelligence (COMINT) in modern conflicts and the adaption to current threads (JED, Nov 2024, "Reaping the Signal Harvest”). It opens referring to the war in Ukraine which underscores, according to JED, the critical role of ground-based Communications Intelligence (COMINT) in modern warfare. These systems are essential for precise targeting, reconnaissance, and providing decision-makers with actionable intelligence, particularly in contested environments like Ukraine, where flat terrain, a stagnant ground war, and limited air operations force reliance on ground-based COMINT. Adversaries increasingly use advanced communication technologies, such as LTE/5G, low-detection waveforms, and multi-band radios, making it challenging to detect and exploit their signals. Militaries must continually evolve COMINT capabilities to address these emerging threats. Modern systems with highly sensitive sensors and open architectures support detailed signal analysis, long-term monitoring, and comprehensive frequency coverage, making them critical to modern battlefield operations. Gregor Zowierucha highlights the advantages of ground-based systems, stating that "modern, ground-based systems equipped with highly sensitive sensors can achieve more than double the penetration depth for reconnaissance compared to systems available 20 years ago." He also emphasizes the importance of tailored, open-system architectures to address specific use cases. Read more on our website!

The United States Department of Defense's FutureG office is implementing and testing 5G capabilities for military operations. The FutureG office, transferred to the DOD Chief Information Office in 2023, is working to expand research and testing of 5G and future-generation wireless network technologies. They are conducting live experiments to understand the real-world limitations and challenges of these radio systems. The office has multiple projects underway, including improving surveillance at bases in Africa by upgrading towers with 5G capabilities, and a multinational 5G experiment with NATO partners in Latvia to test the technology for military applications. Integrating 5G into military operations can provide benefits like higher data rates, resolution, and frame rates for surveillance, as well as enable interoperability for initiatives like Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2). This hands-on testing is crucial for successful 5G deployment. #5G #Military #DefenseTechnology #FutureG #CJADC2 #TechInnovation #MilitaryModernization

A very interesting read from our PLATH Group member PLATH GmbH & Co. KG and JED about the strategic role of ground-based COMINT in modern conflicts and the adaption to current threads.

🌐 Big News for 5G's future! The US Department of Defense (DoD) has released its Emerging Mid-Band Radar Spectrum Sharing (EMBRSS) report, opening doors for the 5G industry to access the lower 3GHz band. This move could significantly boost 5G capabilities by sharing the spectrum currently used by the military, under specific conditions to ensure national security. The DoD is also launching an initiative for dynamic spectrum sharing, signaling a commitment to collaboration and innovation in the 5G space. A new era of more efficient spectrum use, propelling 5G services forward is coming! This is a huge step for 5G in the US, potentially unleashing faster and more reliable services. The focus on dynamic sharing is a breakthrough, but fulfilling the DoD's conditions will be key. It's a challenging path ahead, but one that promises a brighter future for 5G technology. 🌟 #Innovation #5G
