Researchers seeking a way to make the radio frequency spectrum visible may not want soldiers donning goggles to view a “psychedelic” scene like an acid rock concert’s laser light show, but they say the product might resemble that image, at least initially.
Much like the overloaded grunt, carrying so much weight that the soldier is rendered ineffective, electronic warriors and bomb experts have overloaded the invisible radio spectrum, often disabling their own capabilities.
Currently, it takes a highly specialized, trained, and in short supply, electronic warfare officer to map out the radio frequency battlespace to find threats and problems using complicated equipment and readings.
