Command and Control Communications System Denial

Disrupting enemy command and control networks is a powerful capability for protecting friendly forces during offensive or defensive operations. Tactical military deception of the enemy's abilty to detect, locate and engage friendly forces and denying this information to the command and control structure can allow for rapid defeat of hostile forces. The enemy exploits the RF spectrum in the form of radio communications and radar to form situational awareness accross the command and control network and to engage hostile targets. This proposal describes the development of an electronic Military Deception (MILDEC) capability that can potentially provide ground based or airborne friendly forces with the capability to disrupt the abilty to detect, locate and engage these forces. The use of high speed RF memory, signal processing and special purpose algorithms can replace more traditional means of deceptions and self protection.
