The June or July issue of the Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance had a good article on the challenges and limitations of decentralized C2. Enlarging the use of false signatures is one way to ameliorate the threat to your TOC. However, it requires an expansion of the resources (systems, people, etc) for EW deception. Which raises an important point: as much as I enjoy seeing the US Army finally restore EW capabilities to its formations, and watching the new Compass Call take wing, I worry we are not building anywhere near enough EW capability, still. I remain unsure that there will be enough "rabbits" (false stations) and associated equpment to protect the division headquarters if the balloon goes up. I worry that our forces are not red-teaming with their own sensors. I worry that EW is becoming a basic part of soldiering, such that every troop needs their own SDR (software-defined radio), but we do not teach those skils in basic training. Same with drones.
