Cards

Term
SSES
Definition
Where specialized enlisted cryptologic personnel monitor, collect, identify, and exploit signals of interest to produce COMINT
Term
EXPLOT
Definition
Same as SUPPLOT just on an amphibious ship (LHA, LHD, LPD, etc)
Term
SUPPLOT
Definition
The function of SUPPLOT is to gather indications and warning (I&W) information and pass it quickly to the pertinent warfare commander(s).
Term
JIC
Definition
Same as CVIC just on an amphibious ship due to the addition of an MEU.
Term
CVIC
Definition
It is considered to have two major functional groups; Mission Planning (MP) and Multi Sensor Interpretation (MSI).
Term
SIGNALS ANALYSIS
Definition
Analysis of foreign signals to recover parameters and/or intelligence from said signals.
Term
CRYPTANALYSIS
Definition
Analysis of foreign communications frequency usage and information inside signaling to determine operational trends and recover network infrastructure.
Term
FUSION ANALYSIS
Definition
Multi-source, multi-intelligence analysis to provide operational commanders and decision makers accurate Indications and Warning (I&W) information, tailored product reports, and to help refine further analysis in response to customer demands.
Term
RASIN (RAdio SIgnals Notation) Manual
Definition
A technical document used in the exploitation of signals of interest.
Term
USSID
Definition
Directive documents for conducting and reporting on the performance of Signals Intelligence
Term
Describe LOS communication
Definition
There are two types of LOS, Natural Horizon and Radio Horizon.
Term
Define the Doppler Effect
Definition
The apparent change in frequency (phase shift) of a signal based on the movement of the transmitter as compared to the receiver.
Term
D Layer
Definition
The D layer ranges from about 30 to 55 miles. Ionization in the D layer is low because it is the lowest region of the ionosphere.
Term
E Layer
Definition
The E layer limits are from about 55 to 90 miles. This layer is also known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer, because these two men were the first to propose its existence.
Term
F1/F2 Layer
Definition
The F layer exists from about 90 to 240 miles. During the daylight hours, the F layer separates into two layers, the F1 and F2 layers.
Term
Define Morse Code
Definition
A telegraph code formerly used internationally for transmitting messages;
Term
Direction Finding
Definition
Uses passive detection systems to estimate the location of an emitter based on the emitter’s signal strength
Term
Geo-Location
Definition
Provides the rough location for a signal transmitter by calculating the Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) or the Frequency Difference Of Arrival (FDOA) of an emitters signal at multiple receivers at different geographic locations
Term
IO supports operations at the Strategic level
Definition
Deter War
Affect Infrastructures
Disrupt WMD R&D Program
Support Peace Operations
Term
how IO supports operations at the Operational level
Definition
Expose Adversary Deception
Isolate Enemy national command authority and/or military commanders from forces
Term
how IO supports operations at the at the Tactical
Definition
Degrade and/or destroy IADS
Degrade and/or destroy tactical C2
Support MILDEC operations
Term
Offensive IO
Definition
: involve the integrated use of assigned and supporting capabilities and activities, mutually supported by intelligence, to affect adversary decision makers and achieve or promote specific objectives
Term
Defensive IO
Definition
integrate and coordinate policies and procedures, operations, personnel, and technology to protect and defend information and information systems
Term
Deliberate planning
Definition
The Adaptive Planning and Execution system process involving the development of joint operation plans for contingencies identified in joint strategic planning documents.
Term
Crisis action planning
Definition
The Adaptive Planning and Execution system process involving the time-sensitive development of joint operation plans and operation orders for the deployment, employment, and sustainment of assigned and allocated forces and resources in response to an imminent crisis. Also called CAP
Term
Center of Gravity
Definition
The source of power that provides moral or physical strength, freedom of action, or will to act. i.e. A US Aircraft Carrier provides power projection, multi-mission capability, and C2 of a strike group, making it a COG within a strike group, fleet, and theater of operations.
Term
Decisive Point
Definition
A geographic place, specific key event, critical factor, or function that, when acted upon, allows commanders to gain a marked advantage over an adversary or contribute materially to achieving success
Term
Discuss how IO plays a role in the targeting cycle?
Definition
Assisting the commander in creation of objectives to support national interests.
Establishing adversary force layout and capabilities.
Term
Define the six phases of the targeting cycle
Definition
End State and Commander's Objectives (Missions Analysis)
Target Development and Prioritization (COA Development)
Capabilities Analysis (COA Analysis)
Commander's Decision and Force Assignment (Orders Production)
Mission Planning and Force Execution
Assessment (BDA, MOP, and MOE)
Term
HARDKILL (Kinetic)
Definition
Is making a target non-capable physically, typically through whole or partial destruction. An example would a 500 pound bomb strike from an FA-18E.
Term
SOFTKILL (Non-kinetic)
Definition
Is making a target non-capable through a means that leaves no physical damage. An example would be a Denial of Service attack versus a computer.
Term
Measures of Effectiveness
Definition
Used to assess changes in system behavior, capability, or the operational environment
Term
Measures of Performance
Definition
Criteria for measuring task performance or accomplishment. MOPs are generally quantitative, but also can apply qualitative attributes to task accomplishment.
Term
State the position with overall authority of a NEO and how are they conducted?
Definition
The Department of State is responsible for the protection or evacuation of US citizens and nationals abroad and for safeguarding their overseas property abroad.
Term
Discuss how MISO supports a NEO.
Definition
efforts can facilitate the passage of pertinent information to noncombatant evacuees.
