C2 enables maneuver. Full stop. Speed, tempo, and focus all run through comms. MCDP 1 calls it generating a high tempo: a relative speed of action that keeps you inside the enemy's decision cycle. Move through OODA faster than they can think and they spend the fight reacting to conditions that no longer exist. Swipe through for the full breakdown. Your radio is your tempo. Train like it. by @_the_communicator

Maker Monday – Jammer Hunt with SDRangel & Raspberry Pi 5 This week at The Communicator LLC, we’re highlighting a DIY build that helps you detect RF jamming attempts using the Raspberry Pi 5 paired with SDRangel. 🛠️ What’s it do? With SDRangel running on a Pi 5 and a connected SDR (like the RTL-SDR or HackRF), you can passively monitor the RF spectrum and detect anomalies, spikes, or nulls that signal potential jamming or interference attempts. ⸻ What you need: • Raspberry Pi 5 (64-bit OS) • SDR dongle (RTL-SDR v3, HackRF, or AirSpy recommended) • External antenna (wideband if possible) • SDRangel (installed via Flatpak or from source) ⸻ Why SDRangel? SDRangel provides a powerful GUI + DSP toolchain with real-time spectrum visualization, FFT, demodulators, and plugin support. It’s ideal for spotting band disruptions or narrowband jamming across multiple protocols. ⸻ Sample Python Code (Signal Spike Detection via FFT) This is a lightweight way to script basic jammer detection outside of SDRangel for automated alerts: import numpy as np import rtlsdr import matplotlib.pyplot as plt sdr = rtlsdr.RtlSdr() sdr.sample_rate = 2.4e6 sdr.center_freq = 433.92e6 # Adjust based on band sdr.gain = ‘auto’ samples = sdr.read_samples(256*1024) power = 20*np.log10(np.abs(np.fft.fftshift(np.fft.fft(samples)))) freqs = np.fft.fftshift(np.fft.fftfreq(len(samples), 1/sdr.sample_rate)) # Simple threshold alert threshold_db = -30 if np.any(power > threshold_db): print(“⚠️ Possible jammer detected!”) # Visualize (optional) plt.plot(freqs/1e6, power) plt.xlabel(‘Frequency (MHz)’) plt.ylabel(‘Power (dB)’) plt.title(‘SDR Jammer Detection’) plt.grid() plt.show() sdr.close() Swap in frequency bands as needed (e.g., 2.4GHz ISM, 900MHz LMR, etc.). taken in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton by @_the_communicator

HF Mission Planner – An Intelligent Assistant for Tactical and Amateur HF Radio Operations Link in Bio HF communications are more relevant than ever in a disconnected, contested, or denied environment. That’s why we’re developing HF Mission Planner—a specialized GPT designed to assist warfighters, communicators, and amateur radio operators with real-time HF planning, antenna design, and propagation prediction. Current Capabilities Include: HF propagation prediction based on SFI, MUF, LUF, FOT, and solar activity Band selection and timing guidance for both short- and long-range ops Generation of MUF maps for global and regional awareness Custom Field Expedient Antenna design with construction steps and diagrams NVIS and tactical HF guidance tailored for military and field users Interprets VOACAP, HF system design, ALE networks, and more How to Use It: Input your location (grid, lat/long, or city), timeframe, and mission type Ask for propagation conditions or an antenna design Get practical advice drawn from Army, USMC, MARS, and ham radio sources Built for: Comms planners Field operators EM spectrum professionals Amateur radio enthusiasts Trainers and instructors This is a work in progress, and we’re actively integrating user feedback. If HF matters to your mission or your hobby, we’d love to hear how we can make this tool even better. taken in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton by @_the_communicator

Deep Behind the Wire: C5ISRT in Action Ukraine’s recent deep-strike drone operations targeting Engels and Mozdok airbases exemplify the evolution of modern warfare, where advanced C5ISRT capabilities are pivotal. Key Technological Advancements: • GPS-Denied Navigation: Utilizing transformer-based fusion algorithms, drones achieved high-altitude navigation without GPS, integrating Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), Visual Positioning Systems (VPS), and Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) for precise positioning. • Companion Computing with BlueOS: Leveraging BlueOS on Raspberry Pi platforms enabled modular mission planning, real-time data processing, and seamless integration of various sensors, enhancing autonomy and operational efficiency.  • Multi-Sensor Data Fusion: Combining inputs from barometers, optical flow sensors, and cameras allowed for robust state estimation, ensuring mission success even in contested environments. These operations underscore a shift towards decentralized, intelligent systems capable of executing complex missions with minimal human intervention. Some information might not be exact or most. These are my personal takeaways from a C5ISRT point of view. Adapt, Innovate, Win taken in Ukraine by @_the_communicator

DEFENSE TECH WEEKLY May 27, 2025 Sourced from: C4ISRNET, SpaceNews, Defense News, C-UAS Hub, Hackaday, Futurism, DefenseScoop, and Wevolver. ⸻ 1. Golden Dome Missile Defense Update The U.S. administration is accelerating efforts to establish a space-based missile defense layer. The “Golden Dome” initiative proposes orbital interceptors designed to counter hypersonic and ballistic threats. While it promises layered deterrence, critics cite sky-high costs and geopolitical risk. ⸻ 2. DIU Targets Low-Collateral Drone Defeat Tech The Defense Innovation Unit is seeking counter-UAS systems that neutralize drones with minimal risk to civilians. Focus areas include directed energy, non-kinetic effects, and advanced signal disruption—key for urban and base defense. ⸻ 3. AI-Powered Undersea Drones by Helsing European firm Helsing unveiled autonomous underwater drones capable of real-time tracking of subsurface threats. Powered by onboard AI, these swarming sensors are designed to secure undersea cables and ports. ⸻ 4. SpaceX’s Deepening Military Integration SpaceX is now a core defense asset, supporting national security launches and space-based ISR. Their agility and commercial momentum are forcing legacy defense primes to adapt to new acquisition tempos. ⸻ 5. Navy Seeks AI for Maritime Operations Centers The Navy is exploring AI/ML integration to streamline data processing at Maritime Operations Centers. Goal: reduce sensor-to-decision timelines across sea, air, and cyber domains. ⸻ 6. U.S. Army Rethinks RCV Strategy Following experiments with robotic combat vehicles, the Army is scaling back high-cost prototypes in favor of modular, resilient systems that can survive drone swarms and EW attacks. ⸻ 7. Edge Innovation: Open-Source Modular EW Platforms Wevolver featured emerging open-hardware projects that deliver low-SWaP electronic warfare capability to the tactical edge. These modular builds could reshape how small units contest the spectrum. ⸻ 8. Counter-Drone Shotguns Go Operational From BAOWOLF munitions to Benelli’s drone-stopping M4 variants, U.S. companies are fielding direct-fire kinetic solutions optimized for short-range drone defeat. by @_the_communicator
