RAFAC Cyber & Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)

I dont really think that screaming into a cadet radio on the same feequency as the opposing team, constitutes electronic warfare.
Just dickish behaviour!

This.

How about instead of rebranding all our extant subject titles, HQAC actually invests some of the money sat in the GP fund and say, buys every Sqn (who wants a set) a set of decent radios.

£500 per sqn would buy a very nice set and would mean the whole Corps is then working from standard kit.

Christ. Would it be difficult to even get sponsorship for it, or a hefty discount if ordering 10 thousand radios!

This org thinks too small.

Of course. . . :face_with_raised_eyebrow: . . . But transmitting a tone which then means the opposing team need to organise switching to another frequency, but can also be triangulated to work out the location of that transmitting tone and be targeted in turn . . .
It’s stuff the big boys are doing, so it would make sense to try and build some of it into our training, obviously at a more limited level.

What kit would be needed for this?
What training materials do we have for this?
Im all for re-militarising our syllabus. But with support and well thought through material.

Well our current Fieldcraft (sorry Military Skills) and Radio Comms training and syllabus don’t have anything that covers what I’ve described (other than maybe radio change frequency).

Equipment wise: using a directional antenna (dish, yagi, beam etc) to transmit a blocking tone or to conduct direction finding, handheld radio with beacon controller (sd card with mp3 file of tone), a compass and a map, radios to talk to the rest of your team.

Electromagnetic activities. Maxwell’s equations spring to mind. Who’s going to teach that stuff?
