That\u2019s where we need to build capability,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is one area we\u2019re paying a lot of attention to, electronic warfare, cyber.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What happened when a platoon was jammed?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Davis provided a short vignette about what kind of havoc a capable electronic warfare attack might wreak on smaller units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he was able to link up with an infantry platoon a few days prior to providing his brief to reporters. The platoon had made contact with the opposing force, which was conducting an electronic attack against the platoon jamming them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platoon was originally spread out because their communications equipment allowed them to communicate with each other over dispersed terrain. But the jamming forced the platoon to come together as they could no longer maintain communications, or situational awareness, of the disparate units because of their jammed systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the attack lasted around 15 minutes, the platoon had no way of knowing when it stopped, because the platoon members turned off their systems. In other words, the attack was more effective than initially anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Davis said these types of observations are critical to understanding what the Army needs next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBottom line: we need an alert system to let us know we are subject to either electronic attack or electronic surveillance. You also need to know if your systems are jammed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also noted that soldiers need a system similar to commercial smartphones that can seamlessly transition to other networks or portions of the electromagnetic spectrum if a certain frequency is being jammed. This would save soldiers from trying to manually figure this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has awarded contracts for a two-channel radios, which allow forces to leverage multiple waveforms on the same radio enabling greater resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
