Officials are becoming more specific about what the congested and contested battlefield of tomorrow might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the technologically inferior foes of the counter-terror fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, near-peer adversaries possess sophisticated technologies that can jam communications and even geolocate units merely based on sensing the units\u2019 electronic signature. This electronic signature could just be internet connections or radio transmissions, all of which exist in the electromagnetic spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Army\u2019s new concept \u2014 multidomain operations \u2014 the service has moved beyond notional, conceptual and future terms and started to outline what it needs to present these sophisticated adversaries with multiple dilemmas. In the non-kinetic electromagnetic spectrum world, this includes saturating the environment with electronic decoys to hide units or sensitive assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen. Robert Brown, commander of Army Pacific, explained during a March 27 presentation at AUSA Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, that the Army has to get back to denial and deception, which in this new environment will look different from denial and deception of years past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the potential prospect of deploying 10,000 water bottle-sized devices that emit the electronic signature of a TYP-2 radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 10,000 of these signatures in the environment, \u201cgood luck finding the actual TYP-2,\u201d and just think of all the time wasted doing it, Brown said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
