EW Support to Intelligence provides information for ____ and ____
EW Support to Intelligence is made up of ____ and ____
Design of EW components and;
Maintenance of tactical libraries.
Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) and;
Communications Intelligence (COMINT)
Describe Electronic Intelligence (ELINT)
Non-communications information about intentionally emitted RF signals.
Measures all parameters IOT determien the enemy’s EOB (Electronic Order of Battle), to create a threat library.
Describe Communications Intelligence (COMINT)
Intelligence information derived from intercepted enemy communications.
Eg. SRD-504
What is Emission Control (EMCON)?
Why do we do it? 3 reasons
Selective control of emitted electro-magnetic or acousitc energy IOT:
-minimize detection by enemy sensors,
-improve own sensor performance, and
-safety.
What is Signal Security (SIGSEC)
Protection of one’s radiation from enemy SIGINT
