Key tenets of information warfare include: situational awareness, assured command-and-control, and integrating of intel and firepower. 

#ElectronicWarfare (EW) has become increasingly critical in modern defense strategies, but it's not only enemies that can negatively impact these systems. Read #Anritsu's Test Talk blog to learn about potential problems EW systems can face, as well as how to properly test them. #cyberattacks #radar

This is good news, and those who put this together should be commended. Bravo! IMHO, we likely had the information and know-how (before 2020) for a number of years to mitigate these threats—the lack of personnel protection against submunitions from missile and drone attacks. It is critically important to find out why these solutions were not implemented previously—the pathological aspects of inadequate passive defenses need a thorough investigation. There has to be a mix of passive defenses, active defenses, and attack operations (OCA or counterstrike for JSDF), which yields posture resilience, which is called for in the 2018 NDS and 2022 NDS. The problem of passive defenses is NOT just in CENTCOM—it is in other combatant commands, including INDOPACOM. Currently, "everyone" is responsible for passive defenses, which means de facto that no one is responsible or accountable. Let's truly fix this problem. The time is now! https://lnkd.in/gNsxxKy4. #PassiveDefenses#PersonnelProtection

The U.S. Army has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) full-rate Manpack and Leader radio production orders under the Handheld, Manpack & Small Form Fit (HMS) program totaling nearly $300 million. These orders continue the proliferation of critical resilient communication solutions for U.S. soldiers and provide seamless interoperability from the tactical edge to the aerial tier in all operational environments, regardless of adversarial electronic warfare attacks. https://lnkd.in/dhnCu9wk

🌍🤔 Did you know that: 🌲🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝's forests are home to 8% of world's all plant species? 🏭🚙 They absorb annual carbon emissions of ~200 million passenger vehicles yearly? 💰🌳 But forests are also vital economic assets for 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. ⛰️📈 The combined contribution of forestry, agriculture, and tourism - all heavily dependent on its forest ecosystems - accounts for up to 30% 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝'𝐬 𝐆𝐃𝐏. This is roughly equivalent to the entire economic output of countries like 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐙𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 or 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐥 🇳🇿🇵🇹 🎯👏 Such an important mission for Dryad Networks. Well done, team! #wildfires #IoT #LoRaWan #5G #fireprevention
