Thinking Through Deception on the Electromagnetic Spectrum
The art of deception, as old as war itself, can garner astonishment when one side’s competence enables it to pull off an audacious plan. Warfighters can exploit the electromagnetic spectrum to deceive as we increasingly sense and understand the battlefield through this medium with equipment like radar, infrared, and passive detection systems. Historical cases when planners employed military deception offer valuable lessons for how the joint force could design its future forces. On the land, in the air, on the sea, and in space, multi-spectral electromagnetic emitters enable platforms to mask their identities across several parts of the spectrum.
