Breaking Defense embedded with the Army’s red team during the Ivy Mass exercise. The key takeaways will drive tactics and procurement going forward.
The increasing sophistication of adversaries in electronic warfare necessitates the US Army to develop robust countermeasures and resilience within its own forces.
A strategic reader should care because the effectiveness of modern military operations relies heavily on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, which are vulnerable to electromagnetic interference.
The Army's focus on jamming its own forces signifies a proactive shift in training, procurement, and tactical development to enhance operational resilience in contested electromagnetic environments.
