- What is the mission of information warfare
- Information Warfare involves actions taken to achieve information superiority by affecting adversary information, information-based processes, information systems, and computer based networks while defending one's own similar resources
- What does IW focus on
- the vunerablities and opportunities presented by an increasing dependence on informaion and information systems
- What does IW protect and target
-
-information
-information transfer links
-information gathering and processing nodes
-hman decision interaction with info systems - What are the five pillars of C4I
-
-Operations security
-Military deception
-psychological operations
-physical destruction
-electronic warfare - What is operations security
- the process of denying adversaries information about friendly capabilities and intentions
- What is military deception
- actions executed to mislead foreign decision makers causing them to accept or derive desired perceptions of military capablities, intentions, operations, or other activities
- What are psychological operations
- planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences that influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign government
- Physical destruction
- the hard kill destruction of the enemy's command and control infrastructure throught the use of weapons
- What is C4I
- Command, control, communications, computers, information, warfare
- Counter C4I
- to prevent effective C4I of adversary forces by denying information to, influencing, degrading, or destroying the adversary C4I system
- What are the three divisions of EW
-
-Electronic Attack(EA)
-Electronic Support(ES)
-Electronic Protection - What is electronic attack
- involves actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemy's effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum
- What are the two most common forms of EA
-
-Jamming
-deception - What is jamming
- involves the deliberate radiation, re-radiation, or reflection of electromagnetic energy with the object of impairing the use of electronic devices, equipment, or systems being used by the enemy
- What the types of electromagnetic deception
-
-manipulative deception
-simulative deception
-imitative deception - manipulative deception
- actions to prevent revealing electromagnetic telltail indicators or convey misleading indicators that may be used by hostile forces
- Simulative deception
- actions to simulate friendly, national, or actual capabilities to mislead hostile forces
- Imitative deception
- introduction of electromagnetic energy into enemy systems that imitates enemy emissions
- What factors are used to determine which contacts pose a threat
-
-frequency
-PRR(Pulse repetition rate
-pulse width
-scan type and rate - Electronic protection(EP)
- actions that ensure friendly use of the electronmagnetic spectrum despite the enemy's EW
- What the the Anti-EA measures
- the ablility of a fire control radar to operate at various frequencies to prevent jamming of a single effective frequency
- What are the anti-ES measures
-
-tactical evasion
-EMCON-emissions control - tactical evasions
- routing of forces so that the enemy is unable to use his EW equipment effectively
- Emissions Control
- applying total or partial EMCON to your unit/units so as to deny the enemy the use of his equipment
- Communications intelligence
- intelligence collected by the interception of any communications methods
- What are three types of communications intelligence
-
-telephones
-radio telephones
-data links - What is electronics intelligence
- intelligence collected through the incerception of any noncommunications electronics systems
- what are three types of electronics intelligence
-
-Radar/IFF/TACAN
-Electronic Support(ES)
-EW - What is deception
- deliberate alteration of electromagnetic energy in a manner intended to mislead the enemy and neutalize it combat capability
- What is electronic support
- action taken to search for, intercept, and analyze radiated electromagnetic energy, for the purpose of exploiting such radiations in support of military operations
- what is electronic Warfare
- military action involving the use of electromagnetic energy to prevent hostile use of the electromagnetic spectrum
- C4I protection
- negating adversary efforts to deny information to friendly C4I systems
