THREAT TEST
force systems for vulnerability analysis and system evaluation. The NETT system allows for the security testing of computer network-based systems, whether they are enterprise- or battle- field-focused platforms.
• Threat Intelligence Electronic Warfare Environment (TIEW-ENV), which supports the establishment of a wrap- around threat environment to evaluate, demonstrate, and employ the electronic warfare capabilities of enemy forces in simulated real-world test and train- ing events. TIEW-ENV provides the capability to import vignettes, establish virtual entities, connect live assets, and interact among the live, virtual, and constructive environments.
• Mobile Commercial Network Infra- structure Test Range, a closed-loop cellular network infrastructure capable of generating a realistic electromagnetic environment that provides a wireless network capable of supporting voice and data communications across the 2-2.75 Generation Global System for Mobile Communications and 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunication Standard for cellular devices.
• CICADA, a highly mobile, state-of-the- art communications jamming system capable of jamming numerous active radio nets, including frequency hop- pers. It features several jamming modes that can be used against frequency hoppers, cell phones, and satellite navigation. The jammers are controlled either by an operator or remotely by an electronic warfare operations center. The operator can program the system to jam only certain signals, scan the environment, and/or become active only when those signals are present. Specific signals also can be “blanked out” or blocked from jamming.
• Threat Unmanned Devices (TUD), an intelligence, surveillance, and recon- naissance capability that portrays threat

ANALYZING THE SPECTRUM
CPT Thomas Mesloh, Electronic Warfare Officer for 2nd Squadron, 108th Cavalry Regiment, 224th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), discusses the measurements on a spectrum analyzer with a convoy escort team commander at Contingency Operating Base Adder, Iraq. During the NIE, PM ITTS tested electronic warfare systems against the possibility of new threats from adversaries with IO capabilities. (U.S. Army photo by SGT Alan Smithee.)
force sensor-to-shooter engagement timelines and linked unmanned ground sensor and aerial sensor capabilities. The TUD program encompasses the integration of aerial sensor packages (electro-optical/infrared sensor and laser designator) and a control signal transmit- ter onto a low-radar, cross-section aerial platform. Plans include procuring and integrating seismic and acoustic ground sensors over the course of this program.
• Wideband Configurable Controlled Jammer, which provides a dynamic, flexible, re-programmable open-air jam- ming asset designed to replicate threat jamming systems, with special consid- eration for video and microwave links. The system uses digital waveform gen- erators to replicate waveforms that are threat-representative and control- lable in power. More important, it can be tailored to notch out or inhibit
