Cyber Electromagnetic Activities Flashcards
WTF is cyber Space?
Global domain w/in the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of information technology infrastructure and resident date including
- internet
- telecommunications networks
- computer systems
- embedded processors and controllers
What is Space?
The space environment, space assets and terrestrial resources required to access and operate in, to, or through the space environment
FM 3-14
What are the 5 domains?
maritime Land Air Cyberspace Space
What are cyber electromagnetic activities?
Activities leveraged to seize, retain and exploit an advantage in cyberspace and the EMS (electromagnetic spectrum)
- involves the integration and synchronization of CEMA capabilities
Who’s responsible for cyber electromagnetic activities?
Primary staff task in support of mission command
What are the components of cyber electromagnetic activities?
Cyberspace operations
- offensive/defensive
- DOD network ops
Spectrum Management operations
- plan, coordinate and manage the use
Electronic Warfare
- use electromagnetic and direct energy to control the spectrum or attack
- electronic attack/protection
- electronic warfare support
What are OCO, DCO and DODIN?
OCO: offensive cyberspace operations
- project power -> application of force
DCO: defensive cyberspace operations
- defend friendly assets
DODIN: DOD information network
- ops to build, configure, secure, operate, maintain and sustain networks
What are the components of electronic warfare?
EA: electronic attack
- electromagnetic energy, directed energy or radiation offensively
- considered a form of fires
EP: electronic protection
- protect personnel and equipment
ES: electronic Warfare Support
- threat warning
- collection supporting electronic warfare
- direction finding
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does CEMA operate in?
CEMA can occur in and through the EMS
What are Spectrum Management Operation (SMO)
SMO are the interrelated functions of the spectrum management… that enable planning, management, and execution of operations w/in the electromagnetic operational environment
When CEMA is executed properly it provides?
CEME leverages cyberspace and EMS in support of maneuver ops
Contributes to an effective mission command system
Integrates and synchronized key effects (outside DODIN) and activities (inside DODIN)
Brigade CEMA resources?
- Fixed site systems
- ES systems
- Cyber support element
- Frequency deconfliction (JSIR)
- Reprogramming
Division CEMA resources?
- UAS
- ES systems
- Cyber support element
- Air frames
- Hardening
- Electronic protection
Corps and Above CEMA resources?
- STO/SAP
- Joint tactical air request (JTAR), EARF, CERF
- EW support to jam, collect, and broadcast
Staff use of CEMA
- CEMA element
- CEMA coordination/integration
- nominates cyber and EW targets
- manages CEMA target sync matrix
- assesses measures of performance/effectiveness
- coordinates w Higher HQ to sync and integrate cyber mission forces as directed
- prepares and submit cyber effects and electronic attack request forms
Staff use of CEMA
- G/S2
- all source intel support to CEMA
- coordinate with intel community to determine attribution of adversary action s
- reach back intel support
Staff use of CEMA
- G/S3
- overall responsible for integration/synchronization of all lethal/non-lethal effects supporting operations
Staff use of CEMA
- G/S6
- integrates friendly network COP
- reports unauthorized network activity and poss threats
- estimate impact of enemy compromise
- plan/request/coordinate defensive cyberspace ops
- assist in prioritization of CEMA effects and targets
Staff use of CEMA
- Spectrum manager?
- manage unit spectrum resources
- restrict frequency lists and emissions control guidance
- measures to mitigate EM interferences
- deconflicts friendly EMS requirements for cyber/EW/Intel
Staff use of CEMA
- JAG
- authorizes legal framework
Staff use of CEMA
- IO element
- ID’s information capacity and infrastructure in the AO
- integrate all information related to capabilities
- nominates and coordinates targets to CEMA WG
Staff use of CEMA
- G/S9 civil affairs
- identifies civilian and commercial cyber related capacity and infrastructure to the AO
Staff use of CEMA
- space support element
- integrates space-related capabilities into CEMA planning
- ID’s source of electromagnetic interference of SATCOM links
- ID’s threats to space capabilities
What is the Junior leader (company grade) role in planning for CEMA?
- gain situational understanding of OE to enable CEMA integration
- participate in the target development process and recommend CEMA effects where appropriate
- coordinate directly with staff and attend battle rhythm events involving CEMA
- employ troop leading procedures and ensure measures are in place to protect and defend the mission command system
When are CEMA planed?
During the MDMP
Benefits of CEMA (for commanders)
Involves employment of additional capabilities that offer options for the commander
Can you gain full understanding of the operational environment w/o CEMA?
No, understanding is incomplete w/o inclusion of cyberspace and EMS
