Q

EMCON level 1

A

The most restrictive condition and is used when a serious electronic warfare support measure (ESM) threat exists. Electronic emissions are prohibited, to include radios, DME and IFF/SIF except modes 4/5 in theater. Radar altimeters are aloud if required by NATOPS for safety of flight. Take-offs and landings will use EMCON procedures. Comms with controlling agencies shall be made by ground observers or air boss via land line to report departure times and numbers. During training evolutions radio comms are permitted for safety of flight items only.

Q

EMCON level 2

A

The majority of tactical missions are flown under this condition. A serious ESM threat exists; take-offs and landings will use min comm procedures. Operate radios at a bare minimum and use brevity codes to reduce transmission time. All other emitters may be used.

Q

ENCON level 3

A

ESM threat is negligible, as compared to the fire power threat to survival. ONly essential radio transmission will be made and aircraft emitters will be used as required.

55
Lost Comm Procedures Day
Day: Pass hand and arm signals, bad comm aircraft becomes tactical wingman. If hand and arm signals unsuccessful, use flashing bright nav lights and assaults cycle ramp. Good comm aircraft will acknowledge with same signal and return lights to original condition, bad comm becomes tactical wingman.
56
Lost Comm Procedures Night
Night/NVG: Flash IR searchlight to indicate bad comm. Once other aircraft acknowledges with same signal, bad comm aircraft becomes tactical wingman and both aircraft return to orig lighting cond. If IR searchlight ineffective, use flashing dim nav lights (threat permitting) and assaults cycle ramp. Good comm aircraft will acknowledge with same signal and all return to briefed lighting cond.
57
Lost Comm Procedures Objective Area
Obj Area: Escorts: Conduct above signals in BP or HA. Bad comm aircraft becomes wingman if comms not regained. For training, bad comm aircraft (wing) will cease firing, remain in position. For actual contingency, bad comm aircraft (wing) will assume weapons hold posture, remain in position. Assaults: Maintain position per briefed obj area actions, then signal. Escort/Assault Coordination: Escorts fly back to HA with: LZ winter = searchlight/IR searchlight (day/night) ON & steady, join at 10-12 o'clock and escort to LZ. LZ devil = searchlight/IR searchlight (day/night) ON & flashing.
58
Mandatory Comms between EFL and AFL
“LZ Winter/Devil” “(CS) IP Inbound” “(CS) Continue/Hold; Established BP ___” (plus amplifying rmks by exception) “(CS) Lifting/waveoff.”
59

62
What is a SoF
Tactical show of force used as a non-lethal way to demonstrate friendly force's resolve. Increase the visibility of CAS aircraft to defuse a situation.
63
JAAT
Joint Air Attack Team coordinated attack utilizing a combination of RW, FW, and/or UAS normally supported by artillery or other NSFS. An AMC must be designated for a JAAT.
64
Conditioning
To develop a conditioned reflex or behavior from the enemy or cause the enemy to become accustomed to something.
65
Denial
Controlling the information an adversary receives via EMS and preventing acquisition of accurate information about friendly forces.
66
JCA
Jamming Control Authority: is appointed by the joint force commander and is designated in SPINS.
67
JFRL
Joint Restricted Frequency List: is a time and geographically oriented listing of "taboo," "protected," and "guarded" frequencies designed to minimize the frequency conflicts between friendly emitters and friendly jamming equipment.
68
Kill-Chain Communications
KCC: Enemy comms that if left unjammed will pose immediate threat to coalition forces. JCA approval is not required to jam KCC.
69
Protected
Friendly frequencies on the JRFL that should not be jammed.
70
Rapper
Predetermined threat frequency
71
Taboo
JRFL frequencies of international safety and distress systems that shall not be jammed.
