U.S. adversaries have proven their ability to locate units based solely on their signature in the electromagnetic spectrum, leading to entire concept and materiel changes for the Army to smaller units and command posts. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2019\/04\/03\/this-isnt-your-fathers-denial-and-deception\/\" target=_blank>Deception within the spectrum<\/a> has become a high priority for the U.S. military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MEDS is expected to both see the enemy and slow its decision cycle by overwhelming its forces within the spectrum, Steven Rehn, director of the Army\u2019s cyber capability development and integration directorate, said during a Nov. 17 virtual presentation hosted by AFCEA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Rehn, one purpose of MEDS is to replicate friendly emissions within the spectrum from the small unit level all the way up to a full corps command post, which could cause the enemy to waste time and resources figuring out if it is a real entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to replicating friendly signals, MEDS could also create more \u201cnoise\u201d within the spectrum to potentially slow down the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the Army might field some of MEDS\u2019 capabilities within the next several years. Some associated technologies participated in prototyping and experimentation activities, including <a
