Overview

Comms Resilience: Avoid Detection, Resist Attack, Survive Attrition

Course Description

Three critical objectives in ensuring communications system resiliency are: Avoid Detection, Resist Jamming, and Survive Attrition. This fundamental course will teach attendees about technologies to prevent detection and attack, specifically Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), Low Probability of Detection (LPD), Low Probability of Geolocation (LPG). Upon course completion, students will understand how to implement technologies that mitigate the impact of enemy electronic warfare such as Anti Jam (AJ), coding gain, spreading gain, and network topologies like meshing. Students will also gain knowledge on surviving attrition by focusing on maintaining links with redundancy, meshing, and other related technologies.
