Airborne electronic attack is a crucial capability for gaining an advantage in the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes:
Disabling, degrading and denying enemy air defenses by overwhelming them with radio frequency energy.
Deceiving them using electronic decoys.
Disrupting enemy threats through jamming their radar and communications systems.
By interfering with enemy communications, radar systems and sensors, it ensures superiority on the battlefield and enables forces to carry out missions with reduced risks and increased operational effectiveness.
Today’s jammers are updated versions of mechanical systems that first flew in the Vietnam War. But the airspace has evolved into the digital age –…
It’s the end of the road for the funny, punny one-liners that the Ohio Department of Transportation has put up on electronic signs on freeways.
“OHI-Whoa! Slow Down.”“Life is fra-jee-lay – drive safe.” “Camp in Ohio State Parks, not the left lane.”
Those are some recent messages on ODOT’s electronic signs that may have to be rethought. ODOT spokesman Matt Bruning said last month, the Federal Highway Administration updated its manual saying pop-culture references or humor shouldn’t be used on those signs, with two years to make the change.
“It’s something we’ve already adjusted to here in Ohio and we’ll…
