Democrat Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, where Boeing is headquartered, continues to raise concerns about potential interference with civil and military aviation.
Selling off the low S-band "is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea," Tom Karako, director of the CSIS Missile Defense Project, told Breaking Defense today.
Cybersecurity skills must evolve in near-real time as Zero Day threats continue and AI provides new challenges.
Here's everything you need to know about the spectrum battle between DoD and industry, which offices control the issues, and which way the Trump administration may be leaning.
"We're taking a very aggressive, innovative approach" to combating China's tech strategy, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said at the Reagan Forum.
Disputes over spectrum use by mega-constellations in low Earth orbit, such as SpaceX's Starlink, also carry heavy political baggage at the 2023 World Radio Conference that starts tomorrow in Dubai.
“The future will be won by those who dominate the full digital spectrum,” Lt. Gen. Francis Beaudette, commander of Army Special Operations Command, says. “It will be as important as seizing and holding terrain.”
Michigan’s defense ecosystem and expertise makes it a special asset for production.
"I'm very confident going forward that we've made a decision that is based much more on sound engineering as opposed to some of the fear mongering that we've heard," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai says.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the key to waging electronic warfare, and EW is key to waging modern war. An enemy who can jam communications or GPS, mislead you (spoofing is the term of art) and stop your weapons from functioning (cyber attacks using radio waves). The US largely abandoned EW after the Cold War ended. […]
"The Department continues to support domestic 5G options, but not at the risk of crippling our GPS networks," Defense Secretary Mark Esper tweeted yesterday after the FCC vote.
"As far as I know the Pentagon doesn’t have a 'death ray,' but the nearest thing it has is GPS Kryptonite: when you get close enough to GPS to interfere: you die," one veteran space industry watcher joked about the FCC Chair's decision to approve Ligado's 5g approach.
Blending superior optics, advanced stabilization and AI-powered autonomy in a compact and rugged system, ASELFLIR 600 delivers unmatched intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
To protect the content of 5G transmissions, the Pentagon should accelerate development of mobile applications using end-to-end encryption. Today’s military radios or encrypted email only encrypt a message in transit. The message exists in an unencrypted form in the receiving server.
"President Trump has made it clear that the race to 5G is a race America will win," Pence said.
The JSDR database won't just keep American communications officers from mistakenly scrambling each others' signals, either. By providing a comprehensive baseline of what friendly transmissions look like, the mega-database will make it easier for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) troops to hone in on enemy transmissions.
WASHINGTON: Robophobes, relax. The robot revolution is not imminent. Machine brains have a lot to learn about the messy physical world, said DARPA director Arati Prabhakar. Instead, DARPA sees some of the most promising applications for artificial intelligence in the intangible realm of radio waves. That includes electronic warfare — jamming and spoofing — as […]
