Electronic Warface/MILDEC Flashcards
Define Electronic Warfare (EW)
Controlling the EM spectrum or to attack the adversary using EM spectrum
What is the primary mission of the EW module
Anti-ship missile defense
What variant of the Electronic Support collection system does TR use primarily?
SLQ-32 version 4
What is the purpose of the ULQ-16
Fine grain analysis
Describe Electronic Attack
Denying adversary use of EM spectrum through jamming and deception
Name the 3 types of Electromagnetic Deception
- Manipulate
- Imitate
- Simulate
Describe Electronic Protect
-Use of EMCON procedures.
What does SONAR stand for
Sound Navigation and Ranging
What does RADAR stand for
Radio Detection and ranging
Describe the 3 components of a RADAR
Transmitter, Receiver and Antennae
HUL.T.E.C.
Hull to Emitter Correlation
JTT (Joint Tactical Terminal)
Utilizes Common Integrated Broadcast (CIB)
UMOP
Unique Modulation on Pulse
What are the 2(TO) categories of ELINT
Technical and Operational
What is Counter targeting
Engaging the target before the adversary releases his/her weapons
What is the SLQ-25 NIXIE
Torpedo countermeasures system
AIS
-Automatic Identification System
HERO
Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordinance
EEFI
Essential Elements of Friendly Information;
Categories of EEFI
- Position
- Capabilities
- Operations
- Electronic Warfare
- Personnel
- COMSEC
- Wrong Circuit
What are the types of RADAR
- AI: Airborne Intercept
- EW: Early Warning
- FC: Fire Control
- MF: Multi-Function
- MG: Missile Guidance
- TA: Target Acquisition
- TT: Target Tracking
- SS: Surface Search
- NA: Navigation
Define EMCON and conditions
The control of all detectable emissions and transmissions to support mission.
Alpha: Total silence
Bravo: Satellite Vulnerability
Charlie: High Value Unit
Delta: Essential emissions only (we operate in)
List the Intermediate Control Stations responsible for reporting EMCON to EW module
- CVIC
- SUPPLOT
- CDC
- Top/Bridge
- Flight Deck Control
- CSSC (CSOOW)
- SSES
- Pri-Fly
Information Warefare Commander (IWC)
Gives all Strike Group EW orders, write and publish SG policies and instructions
Tactical Actions Officers (TAO)
Uses all relevant information from all warfare areas in CDC to DEFEND THE SHIP
Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO)
Ensures all training and qualifications are up to date
EW Control Ship
Manages all Strike Group EW modules and reports to Quebec watch
Electronic Warfare Supervisor (EW SUP)
Ensures EW module runs effectively and coordinates with other warfare areas in CDC to correlate information to pas to TAO
Electronic Warefare Operator (EW OP)
Rapidly evaluates and disseminates signals detected by the AN/SLQ-32
Fire by Negation
Authorizes the EW module to conduct EA against known emitters WITHOUT receiving specific permission from the TAO or CO
Zippo C
Zippo C is counter targeting
Define TACREP
Tactical Report; I & W reports relayed throughout the different warfare areas in support of the mission
Define TACELINT
Tactical Electronic Intelligence; a report drafted by EW’s to provide ELINT data to theater and national agencies and database managers on SOIs identified by theater commander or the IWC
Define Military Deception (MILDEC)
Deliberately misleading adversaries.
Discuss the difference between MILDEC and MISO
MILDEC is for deceiving adversaries; MISO is for gaining hearts of civilians in other countries
List the 6 principles of MILDEC
- Focus on the enemy decision maker
- Remember the deception objective
- Maintain centralized control
- Conform to the time available
- Maintain security
- Provide for operational integration
Electronic Support
Obtaining RADAR emissions via SLQ-32 to support
Missile Homers
- ARH: Anti-Radiation homing
- IR: Infrared
- Laser: Reflected energy from laser beam dot
- EO/TV: Electro Optical/Television
- Active: Missile has its own radar
- Semi Active: Launch platform tracks target
- Command: Line of sight
- Beam Riding: Follows radar beam
- Inertial: Sense pitch, roll and yaw
- Hybrid: Multiple seeker types
EMI
Electromagnetic Interference
REGS
Rapid Emitter Evaluation Guidelines
