Anti-Jam Policy Study. Volume V. New Anti-Jam Systems.
Abstract
In the fall of 1976, the National Security Industrial Association undertook a study of anti-jam communications for the Department of Defense (DDR and E and DTACCS). Prior NSIA studies performed for the DoD on the problems associated with communications and data transmission in command and control, revealed inconsistent consideration of the overall anti-jam discipline (including hardware, doctrine, and training) against enemy electronic countermeasures. These deficiencies, combined with observations related to ambiguities in anti-jam performance specifications, have produced serious concerns about the availability of an adequate methodology for new program decisions. This study was undertaken in response to these concerns. A study plan was worked out jointly by NSIA, DTACCS and DDR and E which called for: (1) an assessment of current anti-jam tactical communications capability with a view towards exposing weak links; (2) the evaluation of current anti-jam technology trends with projections of performance and costs to the 1982-1985 period, and; (3) the recommendation of new initiatives directed at making AJ communications systems more cost-effective.
