(C&C) has grown to C5ISR. Information war in certain applications created a multi-bil-
lion dollar domain called “”cyber.”

Additionally there has to always be considerations of Electro Magnetic Pulse concerns
(EMP) and the counter measures of ‘hardening” of electronic components. There are a
lot of other EW issues in “tron war,” such as Infer-Red Sensing (IR) and always protect-
ing “signals in space” information being transmitted and trying to jam the bad guys
“signals in space.”

Tactically, it has been said on the modern battlefield — air, sea or land — if not done
correctly, “you emit and you die.”

EW can include offensive operations to identify an opponent’s emissions in order to and
fry spoof or jam their systems.

In successful “tron” war, often-kinetic kill weapons can be fired. The kinetic kill shot is
usually a high-speed missile designed to HOJ (home on jam). There is also the ability to
emit electronic “kill” or spoofing signals i.e. to emit miss signals to an enemy’s incom-
ing weapon sensors.

But what is necessary to succeed in evolving capabilities to fight in the age of “Tron”
Warfare?

In taking a lesson from history, pre-WWII AA&T long lines research found that in order
to build and keep operational a U.S. phone system, the AT&T visionaries found that the
key to success was the need for “robust and redundant” systems.

That lesson of always focusing on robust and redundant systems in combat is extremely
critical in the electrical element or “tron” component of the modern way of war.
