In FY2019, documents indicate $5.3 million for offensive information operations technologies that \u201cdesigns, codes and evaluates cyber architectures, software, tools and techniques that identify and capture data traversing targeted networks for the purpose of Cyber Electro Magnetic Activity (CEMA) or otherwise countering adversary communications. Cyber capabilities include detection, identification, exploitation, direction finding, geolocation, and denial of service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FY2019 plans for this
