satellites: purpose
-provide precise positional data
-navigation
-track class VIII supply
-see battlefield
-collect information
satellites: requirements
-requires line-of-sight to ≥4 satellites
-latitude, longitude, altitude, time
GPS: realities
-easy target
-very weak broadcast signal
-uses known frequencies
-jammers are cheap & easy
GPS: friendly systems
-USA (GPS)
-EU (Galileo)
-Japan (QZSS)
-India (IRNSS)
GPS: most likely threat
ground-based jammers targeting GPS recievers
GPS: adversary systems
-Russia (GLONASS)
-China (BeiDou)
SATCOM: benefits
-BLOS comms
-ISR
-weather/solar data
Uplink jamming
Interfering signal broadcasted up from a dish
Jamming: types
uplink & downlink
Downlink jamming
Inferfering signal broadcasted from a plane
SATCOM: interference indicators
static, bleed over, loss of comms
ISR
intelligence, surveillance, recon
DAGR
-defense advanced GPS receiver
-jamming resistance
-AA battery life: 48hrs (cold: 24hrs)
DAGR: block interference
-bury
-tin can around antenna
-COMSEC (encrypt DAGR)
risk mgmt process
1) identify hazards
2) assess hazards
3) develop controls & make decisions
4) implement controls
5) supervise & evaluate
deliberate risk mgmt
ample time is available to apply the 5-step process for any missions & events
real-time risk mgmt
immediate mgmt of hazards typically during execution of an operation
METT-TCI
-mission
-enemy
-terrain & weather
-troops & equipment
-time
-civil considerations
-informational considerations
Probability levels
-frequent
-likely
-occasional
-seldom
-unlikely
severity levels
-catastrophic
-critical
-moderate
-negligible
categories of controls
-educational (training, briefing)
-physical controls (barriers, signs)
-hazard elimination control
Residual risk should never be greater than…
initial risk
MFGI
mobilization force generation installations that provide support pre & post mobilization readiness support and deployment prep
PPP
power projection platform capable of deploying one or more Army brigades
